Analysis techniques Decision Tree Analyses StructuralEquationModelling Discrete Choice Models Assessments Preferences EXPERIENTIAL VALUE
Decision tree analysis Some results: Distance to parking should be < 30 meters The more fashion and luxury shops the better The more restaurants, the better ‘Diverse historic shaped’ facades are appreciated better, specially in combination with rough pavement Presence of street furniture, greenery and music is positive The better the mood of the respondent the better the assessment
Structural equation modeling Some results: Shop offer is the most important variable Shop window has a high influence on the general opinion Indoor is preferred above outdoor shopping High-income respondents are more negative
Discrete choice analysisThe most favorite shop location: 1. Indoor 2. Diverse & non-historical facades 3. Striking advertisement signs 4. Diverse & historical facades 5. Two or more restaurants or leisure facilities 6. Smooth pavements 7. Number of other shops (telecom, toy store)
Discrete choice analysisThe most atmospheric shop location: 1. Striking advertisement signs 2. Rough pavements 3. Indoor location 4. Diverse & historical facades 5. Number of restaurants 6. High visual impact greenery 7. Number of fashion and luxury shops 8. Number of other shops
Conclusions Three techniques show different results Consistency: Shop offer, indoor / outdoor & material of pavements are related to experiential value Models show moderate fit The most favorite shop location ≠ the most atmospheric shop location Hardly any difference between hedonic and utilitarian motivated shoppers
Discussion It is all about the shop offer…. Atmosphere and experience is not the same Experience and functionality are strongly related We need another approach to explain the concept of experience and atmosphere
