The aim of this study was to examine the impact of customers' perceived location quality of retail stores on the perceived quality of the servicescape. Therefore, this study examined to what extent the customers shopping at more convenient, accessible, visible and attractive location; are shopping also at more convenient store environment in term of visual, olfactory, and auditory cues. Three retail superstores were surveyed in Amman the capital of Jordan. These retail superstores were: Carrefour, Safeway, and C-Town. A questionnaire was designed to collect the data from customers of these retail stores. A sample of 1055 customers was surveyed. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the location factors and the servicescape factors. This study revealed that the impact of retail stores location dimensions on perceived servicescape quality was moderate to low in two cases, and low in one case. This indicates that locating store's branches in high access, visible, and attractive location have low to moderate servicescape quality. In addition, retail stores that exist in good locations have better visual cues than auditory and olfactory cues. This result was the same for the three retail stores. The theoretical stance of retail stores location and servicescape quality is too fragmented. The majority of previous studies have focused on reporting the location or servicescape as a separated construct. Very limited studies have investigated this issue in service sector in general and retailing in particular. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Moreover, if economic activity is analyzed at a higher level-at street level-the layout of the street network plays a vital role. From this perspective, in different cities, the association between economic activity and the configuration of the urban street network was addressed, including Berlin [6], Seoul [7], the Rijnland region, the Netherlands [8], Mexico City [9], Bologna [10], Shanghai [11], Baton Rouge, Louisiana [12], London [13], Bandung City, Indonesia [14], Barcelona [15], Chennai [16], Changchun, China [17], Buenos Aires [18] and China [19]. These studies, however, mainly explored urban areas where land-use patterns have been built through interaction with street networks, mostly in cities with a deformed grid-like street layout or a proposed perfect grid, such as in the cases of Mexico City [9] and Barcelona [15].…”

The rapid economic growth of Saudi cities after the discovery of oil in 1960 had some disadvantages, the most significant of which was the rapid search for alternatives to urban development and the acceleration of urban growth in its major cities and villages. That contributed to the implementation of certain planning policies based on the heavy use of large-scale vehicles. These policies have been instrumental in increasing horizontal expansion, which has been linked to the increased need to rely on cars as a means of movement and not to adopt public transport such as metro and railways. In this research, one of the main cities in the Asir region, which is the administrative capital of Abha, which has been evaluated and analyzed. Space syntax is an informative theory that stands on the structure of urban graphs. Utilizing syntactic analysis, the impact of highways and arterial roads on the integration and connectivity orientation in the urban structure of the city is analyzed, and the constraints and opportunities for development in the building use map are identified. Resulting in isolated parts of districts with no pedestrian routes to connect them, this methodology allows us to determine the main points in the structure of the city where pedestrian accessibility can be added in order to provide the remedy to overcome the shortage in the city's network system (i.e., crossovers, tunnels, etc.). In addition, the impact on the human dimension of the living community, the diversity of land use, and real estate financial classifications were discussed, while the principles of sustainable planning were used to enhance the integration of walkability in the built environment, which was the goal of this study.

“…To give some examples of their use in social sciences, centrographic measures have been used to analyze the spatial patterns of automobile accidents in Honolulu (Levine et al 1995), the dynamics of local labour markets and the mobility patterns of elderly residents in the Quebec City Metropolitan Area (Barbonne et al 2007;Lord et al 2009), the relocation of logistic terminals in the Paris Metropolitan Area (Dablanc and Rakotonarivo 2010), the evolution of the American population by religious affiliation (Crawford 2005), the employment pools of commuting women and men using various transport modes and having different family structures (Vandersmissen et al 2011), and the spatial dispersion of retail stores in Changchun, China (Wang et al 2014). Centrographic analysis has also been used in natural sciences, for instance, to describe the spatial distribution of mineral deposits (Mamuse et al 2009), to identify the potential alignment of underlying geological structures through the spatial characterization of volcanic events (Bishop 2007), and to recommend The Canadian Geographer / Le G eographe canadien 2018, xx(xx): 1-14 A method to test the significance of differences 3 328 Marco A.

Centrographic measures of spatial dispersion, such as the standard distance, provide a numerical value to summarize the radial scattering of a set of points around their centre of gravity or centroid. This paper develops a procedure to test for the statistical significance of differences in dispersion between two sets of phenomena intertwined in space. The significance test is implemented using a resampling randomization procedure based on the pooled locations from both sets to estimate the sampling distribution of their differences. Repeated thousands of times, that yields empirical frequency thresholds of the sampling distributions to assess the statistical significance of the observed differences. Case studies based on residential locations of lone‐parent families and retired couples in the Quebec City Metropolitan Area illustrate the procedure. This paper shows how randomization procedures can be used to adapt classical tests to assess the statistical significance of differences between indices of spatial dispersion.
