“…Even when local shops were available, still 90% of the residents travelled up to 1 km from the boundary of the development to do their regular shopping, and 60% travelled beyond this boundary. This is in-line with Susilo et al (2011) who found that many people only use their local shops as a "top-up", and not for their main shopping. Clearly, the choice of shopping locations is complex, as many people shop as a leisure activity, and are influenced by the range of retail outlets and the quality of the shopping environment (Handy and Clifton, 2001).…”

“…Susilo and Dijst (2009), Susilo and Waygood (2012), and others for example, have found that although land use characteristics have some significance in explaining travel behavior, individual attitudes are often more strongly associated with travel behavior than land use policies that promote higher densities. It is evident that urban form policies may not have a material effect on travel demand unless individuals" attitudes are also changed.…”

“…closer to the centre of London, were thus disproportionally exposed to unhealthy nutritional options. This association might be the consequence of an activity-inciting effect of convenience stores, acting as potential intermediate destinations during the school commute, or be caused by the strategic location of such stores in areas with high volumes of active commuters [49]. If the first interpretation is correct, then the potential reduction in actively commuting children could be compensated by offering other incentives to walk or cycle, for instance by reducing air pollution and creating safer road environments.…”

As active commuting levels continue to decline among primary schoolchildren, evidence about which built environmental characteristics influence walking or cycling to school remains inconclusive and is strongly context-dependent. This study aimed to identify the objective built environmental drivers of, and barriers to, active commuting to school for a multi-ethnic sample of 1,889 healthy primary schoolchildren (aged 5-11) in London, UK. Using cross-sectional multilevel ordered logistic regression modelling, supported by the spatial exploration of built environmental characteristics through cartography, the objective built environment was shown to be strongly implicated in children's commuting behaviour. In line with earlier research, proximity to school emerged as the prime variable associated with the choice for active commuting. However, other elements of the urban form were also significantly associated with children's use of active or passive modes of transport. High levels of accidents, crime and air pollution along the route to school were independently correlated with a lower likelihood of children walking or cycling to school. Higher average and minimum walkability and higher average densities of convenience stores along the way were independently linked to higher odds of active commuting. The significance of the relations for crime, air pollution and walkability disappeared in the fully-adjusted model including all built environmental variables. In contrast, relationships with proximity, traffic danger and the food environment were maintained in this comprehensive model. Black children, pupils with obesity, younger participants and those from high socioeconomic families were less likely to actively commute to school. There is thus a particular need to ensure that roads with high volumes of actively commuting children are kept safe and clean, and children's exposure to unhealthy food options along the way is limited. Moreover, as short commuting distances are strongly correlated with walking or cycling, providing high-quality education near residential areas might incite active transport to school.

“…Shopping trips have been analyzed both from a logistic point of view (Susilo et al 2013), and from a behavioral point of view (Gilbride et al 2015) considering planned and unplanned purchases, convenience influence (Reimers and Chao 2014), shopping for themselves versus shopping for someone else (Gillison and Reynolds 2016), but mainly within the same nation, so the trip should be considered or an adding cost in the buying behavior or an adding effort in search of better conditions as convenience prices, larger assortments, or better service.…”

Rethinking the Retail Mix? The Impact of Chinese Globetrotters on European Luxury Shops

Purpose: as they travel more, the Chinese consumers are making a rapidly-growing share of their luxury purchases outside the Mainland. Their purchases are now the most part of the sales in the luxury shops in Europe. This paper aims to analyze if and how their buying behavior is affecting the retail mix. Design approach: in order to analyze the influence of Chinese customers on European luxury shops a qualitative research has been developed by mean of 346 observations, in a period of four months, of the buying behavior inside a luxury shop in Italy. We used the mystery sales person approach. The research aimed to verify the consistency of the traditional retail mix of a luxury shop with the requests of these new customers. Findings: the research highlighted that the buying behavior of the Chinese globetrotters is quite different compared to the traditional European and American luxury customers, and that their requests are not fitting with the existing luxury shop retail mix. Research limitation: The research process was heavily limited by the particular situation of a Chinese luxury customer, who doesn't like to be interviewed. So the research approach should be totally indirect, similar to a mystery research. Only one luxury brand could be included in the sample, while a comparison between more brands seems to be more fruitful. Practical implications: the traditional retail mix of luxury shops, based on long and careful relationship, exclusive spaces and atmospheres, timeless and experiential experiences inside the point of sales are not fitting with the needs of Chinese luxury shoppers. It must be reconsidered and innovate, coping with the paradox represented by traditional European customer desires and new Chinese ones: the same location for two totally different approaches. Originality: in the new era of globalization almost the totality of the previous studies analyzes the strategy of western retail luxury chains in China, focusing on how the West is influencing Chinese customers, skipping the reverse situation. This paper focuses how Chinese customers can influence European luxury shops.
