Abstract

The aim of this study is to contrast patronage in traditional models of attraction by means of including attributes related to urban shopping centres and their conditions of access by transport as well as analyzing the influence that the composition of these centres has on their modelling and the implications of the latter for the policy decisions. The starting hypothesis is that transport conditions and the composition of the shoppingcentres, distinguishing different urban areas, constitute two important conditions which should be considered in commercial attraction analysis. The methodology which has been applied, uses the generalization of Huff’s probabilistic model in order to define commercial attraction in the context of diserete individual choice. As a result of this application, a scare patronage is detected in the commercial suburban area of Alicante for the proposed extensions. The salient attributes in models are travel time, assortment, prices, hours and center design, anyway performance and comfort of transportation mode. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en contrastar la bondad de los modelos tradicionales de atracción mediante la inclusión de atributos relacionados con los centros comerciales urbanos y las condiciones de transporte a los mismos, así como analizar la influencia de la composición de dichos centros sobre la modelización, y las implicaciones de ésta última en el ámbito de las políticas públicas. La hipótesis de partida es que las condiciones de transporte y la composición de los centros comerciales distinguiendo diversas áreas urbanas, constituyen dos elementos importantes a considerar en cualquier análisis de atracción de los mismos. La metodología aplicada utiliza la generalización del modelo probabilístico de Huff para definir la atracción comercial en el contexto de la elección discreta individual. Como resultado de la aplicación en el ámbito comercial suburbano de Alicante se detecta una escasa bondad de las extensiones propuestas, siendo los atributos más determinantes de las mismas el tiempo de viaje, surtido, precio, horarios, y diseño del centro, así como resultados y confort del medio de transporte.
