Overview

Spatial modeling study reveals that distance and dining preferences govern shopping mall visits in urban travelers, indicating that commercial amenities outweigh demographic traits in travel choice.

Key Points

  • To identify the spatial, behavioral, and socioeconomic determinants of consumptive travel volumes to shopping malls using aggregated mobile internet and positioning data.
  • Extracted mobile application preferences and positioning records to construct behavioral profiles of traffic analysis zones traveling to shopping malls in Suzhou, China.
  • Applied partial least squares (PLS) regression to analyze how spatial proximity and web-derived socioeconomic factors dictate travel volumes.
  • Travel distance, entertainment, dining, and shopping behaviors exhibited a significantly higher impact on shopping mall travel volumes than social interactions, education, general travel, age, or gender.
