The Relationship between Quality of Public Space and Duration of Parking in Shopping Centers

抄録

Since cities in developing countries typically rely on private vehicles for their travel activities, consequently, understanding the need for parking is one of the important factors in transportation system development. This article analyzed the relationship between the quality of public space of shopping centers and the parking duration. Data from questionnaire survey conducted in four shopping centers were used for this purpose. Rank Spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the attributes and the parking duration. The results indicate each shopping center has its own specific attribute(s) that correlated to the parking duration. However, attributes with exceptional positive perception do not necessary contribute to this.
