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.…”

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.

“…Some studies highlighted the perspective of consumers for measuring the attractiveness of the Czech and Slovak shopping centres (Križan et al , 2014; Kunc et al , 2016). However, the researchers in the Czech and Slovak Republic focused mainly on the spatial aspects of shopping behaviour (Klapka et al , 2013; Kunc et al , 2012a; Križan et al , 2014, 2018; Maryáš et al , 2014), using spatial interaction modelling, gravity models and with regard to commuting for retail shopping. Similarly, the Polish and Hungarian scientific literature used the shopping centres' phenomenon as the subject of geographical research (Nagy, 2001; Żerebecka, 2005; Rochmińska, 2016).…”

PurposeEffective management of shopping centres requires a good understanding of the consumers' behaviour and preferences as well as meeting the demand-side needs. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the factors affecting the frequency of shopping centres' visits, providing implications for shopping centre managers from the perspective of a Czech consumer.Design/methodology/approachThe study was carried out in one of the Czech shopping centres in Brno due to its potentially standardisable common characteristics derived from the observation in the scatter plot. The standardized questionnaire survey on consumer shopping behaviour was conducted on a sample of more than 1,000 customers. The linear probability model and the logit model were applied to estimate impacts of included sociodemographic variables on the outcome.FindingsThe findings on the frequency of visits give an overview of the sociodemographic and spatial determinants increasing the visit regularity. From the managerial point of view, the importance of customers' activities and purposes is highlighted.Practical implicationsThe implications can be provided to managers challenging to demand management and considering the investment projects. We come up with certain suggestions in terms of market segmentation, based on sociodemographic characteristics and shopping behaviour.Originality/valueThe paper provides insights into the preferences of the Czech consumers and extends the previous analysis of shopping behaviour by developing the statistical properties and demonstrating the variables and their influence on the frequency of visit.

“…New settlements of middle-class residents are now located on the urban boundaries of cities. The urban fringe is characterized by industrial zones, shopping malls, and logistic centers usually established on greenfield sites (Klapka et al 2013;Kunc et al 2016). This development has resulted in a massive urban sprawl and a continuous increase in individual car traffic (Halás et al 2014).…”

“…From the economic point of view, the decline of allotment gardening has been strongly influenced by an increase in global market supply (Klapka et al 2013;Kunc et al 2016). Cheap imported horticultural products offered in large supermarket chains caused a considerable decrease in product sales by horticultural societies and allotment associations, which could not compete in price (Teislerová 2006).…”

Allotment gardens have played a significant role in Czech and Slovak society for decades, building upon a rich history of gardening. This article elaborates on Czech and Slovak allotments in the European context and identifies their core functions, services, and benefits. We provide a thorough historical review of allotments in this region, reaching back to the eighteenth century to trace significant periods and historic events that shaped society in general and urban gardening in particular. We analyze the development of allotments until and after 1989 and illustrate key aspects of their present situation using case studies and examples. The article provides a complex historical narrative as a good basis for discussions on contemporary trends, challenges, and visions for the future of urban allotment gardening in both countries.
