Space Syntax Guide to Optimize Shopping Mall

The shopping mall is a facility for profit-making with a complex spatial configuration that prioritizes the effectiveness in any aspects. The spatial configuration of a shopping mall needs more than a rule of thumb or a subjective judgment to optimize it. Many researchers have conducted studies of shopping mall spatial configuration by the theory and method of space syntax. But, the complexity of space syntax turns it hard to understand or apply in practical use. Due to the complexity of both shopping mall and space syntax, a guide is needed for practical directions to optimize shopping mall. This article review combines and synthesizes the findings of space syntax precedent studies. The scope of the study is on the building configuration scale (mesoscale). As the result, the optimization of a shopping mall can be measure by space syntax through measurement of connectivity, depth, integration, choice, and intelligibility. Each measurement has a different purpose. The most used measurement in shopping mall study is integration. The spatial configuration of the mall can be represented by the axial map, convex map, isovist map, VGA map, and agent-based in space syntax analyses. The most suitable map for shopping mall analysis is the VGA map because it shows the visual quality is vital in shopping mall design. There are several aspects of the shopping mall that can be adjusted or modified to optimize the shopping mall. Those aspects are pedestrian flows, horizontal complexity, vertical complexity, tenant type allocation, visual quality, retail placement, and anchor placement.

Psychometric Testing of Shopping Mall Universal Design Assessment Tool (SM-UD)

While there are people with disability live in Kurdish parts of Iraq, a very limited number of buildings are properly designed to serve these people. Considering the challenges that people with disability face in public buildings, the United Nations has recommended the implementation of the Universal Design (UD) principles in public buildings in Iraq to ensure that all people could have access to the public buildings regardless of their abilities and backgrounds. Hence, there is a need to gather pertinent data by assessing the adherence of shopping malls in this part of Iraq to the Universal Design (UD) principles given the role of the facilities to the locals. The present study aims to develop a tool for assessing whether the shopping malls in Sulaymaniyah city adhere to Universal Design principles. An analytical tool, which was abbreviated as SM-UD, was developed using a wide range of shopping mall design elements. The tool was tested for reliability and validity through several statistical tests. Besides, the tool was tested for practicality and communicability in six different shopping malls of Sulaymaniyah. The reliability and validity test indicate that the majority of items showed good to excellent reliability and fair to excellent validity. The results of using the tool show that it is capable of identifying the drawbacks of shopping malls in terms of their universality of design. The proposed tool appears ready to be used by shopping malls’ managers and researchers.

Architectural Design Practices in Surabaya: Shopping Mall Design with Biophilic Design Approach

High density and levels in Surabaya can support poor quality of life related to health in the community. Two factors can reduce levels and support a better quality of life in individuals who are in a relationship with nature (biophilia) and other humans (social life). Shopping Center is a commercial building to accommodate shopping activities and people's life style in Surabaya, which is a community center for purchasing and facilitating socio-economic and recreational activities. The location of this shopping center is located in a strategic area on the Middle East Ring Road Surabaya (MERR). This region has a high enough strategic value where the appearance and structure of buildings in this region must have higher social and economic values, requiring the appearance and design of an order that has current values. The appearance and layout of the building will affect the user's atmosphere, both physically and psychologically. With the theme Integrating with Nature it is expected to create a space design that is owned by nature and blend with the potential of the site, and approve Biophilic Design will create a mall space that has a balance between humans and nature. By agreeing to this, the Shopping Center can accommodate spaces that will reduce user stress and can increase satisfaction and not improve the health of the user's community.

Using Structural Equation Modeling to Propose a Model for Shopping Complex Design Based on Universal Design Concept

Universal design (UD) is a design style that promotes the design for all people regardless of their abilities and sociodemographic features. The UD is also viewed as an element of social sustainability. Shopping complexes, as one of the main places for leisure activities, can be designed and assessed based on UD to enhance the usability for all shoppers. At present, no clear definition of UD is available in shopping complex design criteria. Consequently, a very limited number of design and assessment guidelines are based on UD. The present study remedied this shortcoming in knowledge through translating and defining the conceptual components of features of UD for shopping complexes. The contribution of shopping complexes’ design elements also was identified. The aforesaid objectives were achieved through a comprehensive literature review. The findings of this review contributed to the development of conceptual models to define UD in shopping mall design. This study administrated a questionnaire to collect data, and the data were tested for model fitness using structural equation modeling. The UD translation can help practitioners and researchers to design and assess the shopping complexes to ensure all shoppers are served on an equal basis.

시각장애인 이동성 확보를 위한 쇼핑몰디자인 제안 - 코엑스몰을 중심으로

현대인의 가치관, 소비환경, 그리고 산업 환경의 변화들로 인해 도시는 과거보다 훨씬 다양한 기능을 요구받게 되었다. 특히 휴식(recreation)과 오락(entertainment)은 점차 도시민에게 매우 중요한 가치가 되어가고 있으며 도시는 이 같은 기능의 공간을 제공하도록 요구받고 있다. 이러한 요구에 의해서 탄생한 것이 도시복합 소비 공간이다. 최근 서울시 도심에 문을 연도시복합소비 공간들은 새로운 도시의 명소로 자리 잡고 있으며, 지하철 등의 대중교통 수단과 인접백화점, 호텔 등의 상업건물들과 함께 개발되어 유동인구를 흡수하면서 항상 많은 인파로 붐비고 주말이면 가족단위의 방문객들로 넘쳐난다. 이러한 사회 속에서 시각장애인과 건축 환경과의 관계는 점점 더 복합화, 다양화 되고 있다. 이러한 원인으로 시각장애인들의 환경적응은 더욱더 어려워지고 건축 공간 내에서 이동은 시각의 장해를 통해 무엇보다 큰 문제를 일으키고 있다는 것이다. 도시복합 소비 공간인 코엑스 몰에서의 시각장애인들이 이동에 대한 문제가 많이 제기되고 있다. 시각장애인들의 이동을 편리하게 하기 위해 필요한 정책과 유니버설디자인적인 접근을 모색하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 모든 사람들은 시각으로 정보를 얻는 반면에, 앞이 보이지 않는 시각장애인들은 정보를 얻기 힘들어한다. 시각장애인들이 쉽게 접하지 못하는 도시복합 소비 공간을 서울시 강남구 삼성동에 위치한 우리나라를 대표하는 코엑스 몰을 대상으로 하고, 문제점을 분석한 뒤, 유니버설 도입의 필요성을 대입하여 개선방향을 제공하고자 한다. 외출을 꺼려하기 때문에 집에서 고립되어 쉽게 나가지 못하는 시각장애인들을 위해 앞으로 더더욱 많은 쇼핑몰 뿐만아니라 여러 건물들에 있어서 기준적인 토대가 되기를 기대한다.

Optimizing Multi-Level Shopping Mall Design Using Agent Simulation Based on Visual Perception— Taking Taskin Square in Changsha as an Example

In the case of Changsha Taskin Square, according to the theory of space syntax, the multi-level shopping mall is translated into a two-dimensional model by connecting each floor with models of vertical path in DEPTHMAP. Then a visibility analysis is made with the model. According to the theory of ecological approach to visual perception, an agent model is built to simulate the pedestrian distribution in the multi-level shopping mall, by using the result of the visibility analysis. By simulating the pedestrian distribution of initial plan and optimized plan of Taskin Square, and comparing the simulation results, several principles and measures for optimizing the multi-level shopping mall design are verified: (1) the form of horizontal circulation space should be concise and symmetry as possible; (2) a core space should be set to connect each floor in the vertical direction; (3) elevators and escalators should be set in the central area with high visual accessibility; (4) the atrium and vertical path, like escalators and elevators, should be set near the entrance of the building, and an aisle should be set to connect them to the entrance directly.

Space allocation and tenant placement at high-rise shopping malls

This paper explores the relationship among shop size (space allocation), tenant type (tenant placement) and locations of shop in a shopping mall. In contrast with previous studies, this paper tests the hypotheses empirically by means of regression models, in the context of high-rise shopping malls. The results show that bigger shops and tenants of nonimpulse trades are more likely to be found at upper floors. The findings have strong practical implications for shopping mall design, and for space allocation and tenant placement strategies at shopping malls to maximise their profits.
