	When I decided to focus on shopping centers as my topic I started
out by asking some relevant questions.

	What role does location play?
	What is the relevance of the size?
	To what extent do the mixture of stores play a part in the success
        of the shopping center?
	What role does the size of the stores play?
	What do people look for in a shopping center?

	Location is the most significant factor in a shopping center's
success. Being that we live in a time-constained society it is important
that the shopping center is conveniently located close to the market. In
his article, Robert G.V.Baker stated that the assumed shopping strategy is
that consumers accelerate the shopping trip cycle by minimizing trip
distance. 
	The size and space of the shopping center is anotner important
factor in determining consumer behavior(is the consumer willing to travel
the distance for a larger center)? Baker did a study on this subject and
found that larger malls did not show a higher frequency in trips than
smaller malls.
