“…These activities can also be described as "resulting" actions because they occur spontaneously due to movement and people's presence in the same spaces. Sociologist states that a social activity takes place when two people meet in the same area, see each other, and listen to each other, all of which are forms of contact and social interaction (Collins, 1983;Collins, 1993;Guy, 2010;Dael et al, 2012;Shen et al, 2013;Schmidttraub et al, 2017;Rizal et al, 2019).…”

This research discusses ecological relations in rural areas with the people, thereby placing it within the village's poverty frame for a long time. By taking the case in Parakansalak Village, Sukabumi District, West Java, Indonesia, this research is expected to contribute to poverty studies related to natural resources and the environment. Noting the Indonesian people's great work is poverty alleviation, this research tries to provide a rationale for several villages still in the puddle. Thus, the research method used is the ethnographic method so that the strong character gets what Clifford Geertz calls thick descriptions. The results of this study reveal the facts why this is so by raising several basic things, namely: a) associated with citizens as farmers who have a level of dependence on the land that is their source of livelihood in agriculture, b) in terms of agricultural land production which is very dependent in climate, c) the level of production is not enough to provide benefits for the fulfillment of the needs of farmers because of the absence of agricultural land - because the land is only limited by a handful of citizens, and d) creating a social structure that is fully agreed with the land, thus creating poverty as a form of social morphology. The impact of spatial production as a form of social morphology illustrates poverty conditions in Parakansalak Village.

“…One of the aims of this 'residentialisation' of city centres was to generate local retail demand and increased social and economic activity both during the day and night to counter the out-of-town retail offering (Bromley et al, 2005). This re-population of city centres was coupled with a policy push to develop mixed-use regional centres that could attract a greater number of consumers through an expansion of retail catchments focused on large anchor stores, established luxury brands, expanded leisure offerings, and renewed public spaces maintained through private management to allow careful curation of the retail areas (Carmona, 2015;Guy, 2010;Helbrecht and Dirksmeier, 2012;Hubbard, 2017). These efforts were however criticised for the exclusionary nature of developments, socioeconomic impacts on existing neighbourhoods, and deregulation of development controls (Ball and Maginn, 2005;Belotti and Arbaci, 2020;Erie et al, 2010).…”

City centres and their retail spaces have faced major challenges in recent years, including the rise of e-commerce and out-of-town retail, the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current cost-of-living crisis. These challenges, along with other changes to the retail sector, have led to high retail vacancy rates, reduced footfall, and a decline in department stores, particularly in UK city centres that have struggled in recent years to attract sufficient visitors to remain economically viable. Many cities in the UK have prepared strategic plans to respond to the recent challenges of retail spaces of city centres. This paper aims to explore how the UK Core Cities have dealt with these challenges at a strategic level. Through analysing their strategic plans, this paper investigates whether they have acknowledged the major challenges in the retail sector, whilst classifying the strategies that they have adopted to deal with these challenges. The results show that the studied cities have acknowledged the major changes to the retail sector and have adopted various strategies to address retail-related challenges. These strategies can be classified into three categories of temporary interventions, economic and financial interventions, and planning and design interventions. While there are considerable similarities among the adopted strategies, some cities have developed more comprehensive and innovative strategies, particularly in relation to planning and design interventions.

“…The present paper sheds new light on the effects of local retail provision (Clarke, 2000;Cotterill, 1997;Guy, 2010) by addressing the fundamental relationship between local store 'assortments' and perceptions of consumer choice. This relationship is particularly relevant to study in light of the most recent policy debates regarding retail diversity and the role of the small stores.…”

Consumer Satisfaction with Local Retail Diversity in the UK: Effects of Supermarket Access, Brand Variety, and Social Deprivation

Levels of concentration in the grocery sector have led to concerns about reduced diversity of local retail provision and its potential negative effects on consumer welfare and choice. Using empirical evidence from a study of consumer perceptions of retail choice across nine purposefully sampled neighbourhoods in the city of Worcester in the UK, the paper illuminates consumer satisfaction with local provision and investigates how satisfaction varies with the local mix of grocery stores. The study adopts a statedpreference approach with realistic but hypothetical scenarios being presented to consumers in which the level, form, brand composition, and accessibility of local retail provision is systematically varied to gauge the sensitivity of householders in different types of neighbourhoods to variations in local retail assortments. The contributions of the paper are reflected in three main findings: (1) residents value having a large supermarket close by and reveal that they value diversity of provision rather than overconcentration; (2) consumers in deprived areas overall display greater satisfaction for the same offer than consumers in less deprived areas; and (3) although small stores in a local store assortment significantly contribute to reducing dissatisfaction with the local retail offer, they contribute little to achieving higher levels of consumer satisfaction. The study stresses the need for planners and policy makers to maximise choice and welfare through both the number and the diversity of stores in local neighbourhood areas.
