Activity space ; Behaviour ; Consumption ; England ; Retail trade ; Shopping behaviour ; United Kingdom ; Urban practice
The AA. address questions of shopping as practised and its relation to shopping space. They argue that modes of shopping, which comprise distinctive sets of shopping practices involving relations to goods, relations of looking, the place of shopping
in the rythms of everyday life, and the socialities of sopping, are used to invest meaning in particular types of shopping space and to produce personalised shopping geographies. These arguments are developed in relation to charity shops and charity shopping.

Choice ; Consumer behaviour ; Location ; Logit model ; Netherlands (The) ; Retail trade ; Rotterdam ; Shopping centre ; Spatial competition ; Urban area
The paper deals with the potential competition of an out-of-town shopping mall in the retail sector (Alexandrium in Greater Rotterdam) with respect to the inner-city of Rotterdam. It aims to identify the motives of visitors and buyers for such large
-scale shopping facilities. The shopping mall concerned turns into a regional market for run shopping purposes rather than into a competing fun shopping centre.

Shopping behavior in two sets of shopping destinations: an interactionist interpretation of outshopping
A survey administered to small town residents about outshopping for shoes demonstrated that small social groups are related to shopping behavior. Inshopping is single purpose, and for many, a task done alone, while outshopping is more of a social
experience. The isolated nature of student society in a college town leads to identifiably different spatial shopping patterns for the student group as well (Blacksburg, Virginia, 1980).
De hierarchie van winkelcentra. Onderzoek van het ruimtelijk koopgedrag in stadsdelen met een gepland winkelapparaat The hierarchy of shopping-centres. Research of the spatial shopping behaviour in city-sections with a planned shop system
Evaluation of four research projects concerning spatial shopping behaviour in the cities of Groningen, Breda, Rotterdam and Amersfoort. One of the conclusions is that consumers prefer a concentration of shops in stead of a more spread pattern. (AGD).
The AA. seek to develop and illustrate empirically a way to define the selection of stores in shopping centres. Profiles of hypothetical shopping centres are developed that describe the total size of centres as well as the marketing mix positioning
of the individual within these centres. The approach is implemented in choice experiments, one on food shopping and one on shopping for clothing and shoes.
A spatial preference model of regional shopping behaviour
This article posits a model that considers a shopping pattern as the outcome of a choice process between alternative spatial shopping opportunities. Specifically, it presents some methodological refinements and extensions of Rushton's original
spatial preference scaling model in a study of the spatial behaviour of consumers for shopping goods in the agglomeration Eindhoven.

A study of multipurpose shopping at a range of planned suburban shopping centres in Sydney during 1988/89 endeavour to relate several hypotheses to results from a space-time differential consumer-trip model. The number of consumers is shown to form
to minimise the total effort in the shopping cycle.
