Going to shopping centres for dining, shopping, entertainment activities is commonly observed among normal families and individuals of all ages in Hong Kong. How do people choose the shopping centre they are going to visit? What are the factors that affect the choice of shopping centres for visit? Youth, being the most active group for the retail market, and also the frequent visitors of shopping centres, plays a relatively more important role than other customers. It is worth to have a study for youth's preferences for shopping centres. This study focuses on the youth who are aged from 18 to 30. In order to get their opinions about the factors affecting their choices in visiting shopping centres, a questionnaire survey was conducted. After the analysis of the views obtained, it was noticed that a good location, mature transportation, variety of shops, tenant mix, as well as entertainment features are the most important factors that the youth in Hong Kong would consider when they are choosing shopping centres. Among those factors, location was chosen as the most important determinant that the youth would consider in choosing shopping centres for visiting. It is suggested that the landlords, management agents and business operators of shopping centres should take these factors into account and have to consider those when they plan, develop, manage, and promote their shopping centres.

From the most primitive form of exchanging goods with money on streets to the development of retail outlets and department stores, online shops are rapidly booming as one of the modern shopping preferences nowadays. This paper focuses to investigate the factors affecting shoppers' preference of choice between online shopping and mall shopping. The exploratory study examined 3 groups of shoppers including mall shoppers, online shoppers and cross shoppers to compare and contrast their concerned motives and behaviour as appeared in the two shopping modes. The comparison was based on a theoretical model derived in part from Fishbein and Ajzen.s "Theory of Reasoned Action (1980)"; Cowles, Kieker, and Little "E-tailing Theory (2002)," Tauber (1972)'s Situational I Personal shopping motives model and a comprehensive literature review. The model identified the theoretical factors anticipated to influence the shoppers' groups shopping behaviors. A total of 297 shoppers in 3 shopping malls served as the purposive questionnaire samples. Factors derived from literatures were incorporated into the survey questions to identify the group of shoppers adopting e-shopping, cross shopping and mall shopping and their respective factors affecting their preference of choice. It was reviewed that apart from the various 'consumer', 'marketing' and 'technology' factors affecting e-shoppers, some of the factors were also found influencing the mall shoppers' preferences of choice in a similar way. Likewise, traditional factors motivating people to shop in mall have also infused with new social elements due to the e-era and people's change of lifestyle. In addition, special features and positioning in various malls were also discovered to exert a different impact on shoppers' option. To further enrich the research, face-to-face interview was also conducted with an online store manager and a shopping mall manager to obtain information from the management perspective. In reviewing their perceived reasons as to affect shoppers' preference to e-shopping and mall shopping, on top of the similar factors as suggested in the literatures, they both put much emphasis on the tactical strategies in business operation. Insights were drawn that online stores and shopping malls may not be direct competitors as one may not substitute the other. Recommendations on future business planning in each shopping mode were also made by frequently reviewing shoppers' desire and wants. The paper was concluded by summarizing the findings and to forecast the future shopping trends. Recommendations were also made to online stores and shopping mall operators to cope with shoppers' preferences and maximise their profit.

Subsequent to the divestment exercise in 2005, HA still owns a small number of remaining shopping centres. In 2012, there was a critical new trial for HA in developing a flagship regional shopping centre, Domain in Yau Tong. Superficially, this new HA shopping mall gives no difference from other private shopping centre no matter in design, outlook or internal layout. The essential point is that HA has made great effort to enhance the attractiveness of Domain. The success of Domain will be influential in the future development of public shopping centres. This research paper will use the SCATTR instrument factors as a measurement to do the questionnaire survey in order to assess whether the difference in management practices will affect the attractiveness of public and private shopping centres in Hong Kong taking consideration of the main management factors of goal complexity, formalization, political control and social responsibility. From the questionnaire survey of shoppers and interview result of managers, I find that, in a certain extent, positive or negative effect to the attractiveness of shopping centres are resulted from the difference in management of public-private sector. Basing on the research findings for relatively weaker in the attraction of public shopping centre, recommendations are given with inclination to the public sector side. Some but not all governmental problems like quality of housing management staff, the traditional barriers & constraints as well as accountability are identified and recommendations are also proposed. However, the essence does not argue that public or private sectors are better but awareness of the differences will enable both sectors‟ managers to be more effective in their own environments. The choice of tools used should balance between the policy compliance and problem solving. Subjects: Shopping centers - China - Hong Kong

It consists of retail stores and leisure facilities for public to spend their time as well as maximises their quality of lives. Many decades ago, the majority of shopper preferred to shop in street fronting outlets and the open food markets. After a well development of retail business, there was a move away from the open markets to shopping centres. In the past two decades, the economy of Hong Kong has undergone a remarkable transformation, which continues to grow strongly recent years. The development of a shopping centre has got dynamic changes as well. The demand for an improved quality of life is increasing so that the basic shopping environment cannot satisfy shoppers. Apart from having good shopping environment in shopping centres, shoppers expect to take other advantages such as receiving exciting experience and having diversification of tenant mix. In fact, a successful shopping centre should be accommodated in a multi-purpose building where integrated with different facilities, for example shopping, entertainment, dining, and recreation. It aims to reduce the travel time of shoppers and provide what they actually need. Four shopping centres, APM, New Town Plaza, Telford Plaza and Maritime Square, are selected in this dissertation. Seven factors including location and visibility, accessibility, size, design and layout, anchor tenant, tenant mix and promotion which affect the success of shopping centres in Hong Kong are chosen after study the literature review. Nevertheless, numerous scholars argued the relative importance of the factors, for example, Beddington (1982) and Abratt et al.(1985) emphasized that the success of a shopping centre was affected by the tenant mix which was the single most important determinant. Abghari and Hanzaee (2011) opined that the tenant mix is an influential factor of a shopping centre while other factors are less important. Consequently, two hypotheses were established in this study. In this research, the importance of the factors for successful shopping centres was studied in details and this would be useful for owners and management operators of shopping malls. Total twelve research questions were analyzed through conducting surveys for tenants and shoppers, and they were categorized into two categories which were to find out the dominant factors affecting the success of shopping centres and to rank those factors in order to find out the most crucial factor. After performing the thorough data analysis, it was found that "accessibility" and "tenant mix" were the dominant factors affecting the success of shopping centres where "accessibility" was the most crucial factor. Recent years, with the development and improvement of transportation network, the importance of "accessibility" factor has gradually increased. Actually, "accessibility" was the main reason to attract people to visit shopping centres, which could increase the pedestrian flow and sales volume of the malls. In addition, shoppers were not willing to spend time on travelling so that "accessibility" became more important. On the other hand, the findings of this survey showed that "tenant mix" was less important than "accessibility" due to the similar tenant mix and homogenous shopping centres in Hong Kong, and it also showed that "promotion" was the least important affecting the success of shopping centres. It was becau...

Abstract: According to unofficial statistics information (i.e. Wikipedia and Editorial ... etc.), the proportionality for small-scale shopping centres in Hong Kong is around three times of the same for large-scale. This indicates the market of small-scale shopping centres is significant and cannot be ignored. In fact, many studies were done by scholars regarding the successful management of large-scale shopping centres, yet detailed study related to such kind of small-scale shopping centres is found absent or pretty rare. Under observation, the management of stand-alone large-scale shopping centres is too perfect to criticize, whereas the same of small-scale shopping centres is unsystematic or can be called messy. Obstruction, security loophole, poor management and cleaning problem found in these shopping centres not only produce great nuisance to the owners/ occupiers, but also transform to be a social problem. The major scope in this study will be around the facilities and management services provided in small-scale shopping centres underneath composite building (residential ] retail) or commercial building (office + retail). Meanwhile, pros and cons of these shopping centres will be noted and referred. By consolidating the data of difficulties in managing overseas Mixed-use developments. 7Ps marketing mix, management theories and practical examples, a framework for analyzing the prevailing factors for small-scale shopping centre is explored. Empirical research will indicate practical solutions to the drawbacks of small-scale shopping centres in stratified ownerships as well as the prevailing measures for the improvement of shopping centre environment. The results of this study are meaningful for prospective retailers to find shopping centres with good business environments and for other centre managers or practitioners to improve the environment/ strengthen the user-friendliness and competiveness of this kind of shopping centres.

This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 1 million people commit suicide world-wide annually and around 10 million attempt suicide each year. Suicide is a major public health problem throughout the world, and major efforts are currently being made to help reduce these numbers. However, suicide is the result of complex interactions between a range of factors, including historical, psychological, cultural, biological, and social, and any approach to treating the problem of suicide has to consider all these factors. This new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Suicidology and Suicide Prevention has been thoroughly updated and expanded since publication of the first edition in 2009. This comprehensive resource covers all aspects of suicidal behaviour and suicide prevention from a number of different perspectives, including its underlying religious and cultural factors; its political, social and economic causes; its psychiatric and somatic determinants; and its public health impacts. The new edition includes several new clinically focussed chapters devoted to major psychiatric disorders and their relation to suicide, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance abuse, psychosis/schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and personality disorders. It also includes a fully updated section on psychometric scales used for measuring suicidal behaviour and instruments used in suicide preventative interventions. Part of the authoritative Oxford Textbooks in Psychiatry series, this second edition will continue to serve as the key reference source for both researchers and professionals working in the areas of suicidology and suicide prevention, including psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, public health specialists, and neuroscientists.

Book Ordinary Ethics in China

Download or read book Ordinary Ethics in China written by Charles Stafford and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide range of anthropological case studies, this book focuses on ordinary ethics in contemporary China. The book examines the kinds of moral and ethical issues that emerge (sometimes almost unnoticed) in the flow of everyday life in Chinese communities. How are schoolchildren judged to be good or bad by their teachers and their peers - and how should a 'bad' student be dealt with? What exactly do children owe their parents, and how should this debt be repaid? Is it morally acceptable to be jealous if one's neighbours suddenly become rich? Should the wrongs of the past be forgotten, e.g. in the interests of communal harmony, or should they be dealt with now? In the case of China, such questions have obviously been shaped by the historical contexts against which they have been posed, and by the weight of various Chinese traditions. But this book approaches them on a human scale. More specifically, it approaches them from an anthropological perspective, based on participation in the flow of everyday life during ethnographic fieldwork in Chinese communities.

Book Encounters and Engagements between Economic and Cultural Geography

Download or read book Encounters and Engagements between Economic and Cultural Geography written by Barney Warf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual renaissance of human geography has included a widespread engagement between its economic and cultural subdisciplines. This volume adopts a variety of conceptual and empirical perspectives on the encounters between economic and cultural geographers. It offers an introduction and 10 chapters by authors in a variety of national contexts to explicate issues such as the cultural turn in economic geography, the cultural construction of economic geographic thought, consumption, gender, everyday life, commodity chain analysis, trust, networks, the creative economy, and tourism. The volume contains empirical analyses utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches at spatial scales ranging from the individual to the global economy. In illustrating how human geographers can ill afford to subscribe to the analytically false dichotomy between “culture” and “the economy,” the book explicates how cultural and economic geography can be seamlessly integrated , bringing them into a creative tension to their mutual benefit.​
