“…We conclude that the evaluation of the attractiveness of the shopping centres, as a dynamic element of Central and Eastern European countries, is quite complex and to some extent a subjective task. In this paper, we referred to earlier published scientific studies measuring the attractiveness of the retail environment (especially shopping centres): for example, using agglomeration attributes ; the catchment area (Dolega et al, 2016); central place theory and the retail hierarchy (Dennis et al, 2002b); or, directly according to respondents' consumer preferences (Dennis et al, 1999). Furthermore, we also took into account some of the specific conditions of the Czech-Slovak retail environment and the post-1989 market in the CEE countries.…”

The measurement and evaluation of the attractiveness of shopping centres in the Czech and the Slovak Republics is examined in this paper, countries which had experienced seventy years of development within a single state. The methodological basis for measuring the attractiveness of 130 shopping centres is an evaluation of the factors that can be described as objective (exogenous and endogenous) and subjective (in vivo and in vitro approach). An aggregate indicator of the overall attractiveness of each shopping centre was computed as a combination of the sub-variables. Based on previous international studies, the factors (variables influencing attractiveness) that are typical for shopping malls anywhere in the world, as well as for the original specific information for the Czech-Slovak retail environment, enable a generalization of the results at least to the East Central European level, and to carry out a comparison with any other market environment.

“…The basic aim of this theory, designed by Christaller in the 1930s and developed by Lösch in the 1950s, is to establish the principles that determine the number, size and distribution of urban settlements, in accordance with service activities that take place. According to Dennis et al (2002), this theory presents a model in which the shopping visits of the consumers to the nearest mall for a single purpose are determined by the relationship of the retail sales area size, and the distance travelled to reach the mall.…”

International quick service restaurants (QSRs) have become a standalone sector due to their significant market share throughout the world instead of being considered under the food and beverage sector. The success of QSR site selection is directly related to land use and market potential estimation. This relationship has a significant influence on urban texture, identity and cities' development processes, given the high number of QSRs in urban spaces. Diverging from the current retail sector dynamics, the QSR sector brings to the table different needs in terms of trade area characteristics and spatial characteristics. In this respect, the aim of this research is to deliberate a methodological framework investigating site selection decisions of international QSRs and to establish a conceptual framework for an applicable model. Accordingly, first, the relationship between trade area analysis and site selection of international QSRs is examined. After that, trade area models of The Proximal Area Model, Reilly's Law of Retail Gravitation Model, Central Place Theory, Huff Model, Analog Model and Geographic

“…The static nature of the models limits considerably their development and explanation capacity. Although some recent attempts aim to break this rigidity through the utilisation of qualitative methods (like questionnaire surveys in Dennis et al, 2002) and development of newer concepts (like consumption threshold in Daniels, 2007), central place theories cannot be linked to the urbanisation process as much. Their ignorance of broader social and economic conditions and reduction of social and economic dynamisms into social and economic equilibrium models can be mentioned as the principal factors causing to the failure of the models.…”
