The trend for urban residents to move to the suburbs continues, causing growth in suburban trading areas, while the downtown trading areas may decline. Thus, the issue of how consumers decide on their shopping destination should be discussed to clarify the status quo and future competition between metropolitan trading areas. This study, firstly, group consumers’ impression variable with the help of factor analysis. Secondly, the Nest Logit Model and the Multinomial Logit Model were used to model the behavior of consumers in Tainan. This study shows the choice between metropolitan trading areas are indicated to multi-nominal choice but not nested choice. Furthermore, coefficients of distance variable are negative and significant. It means that locations at dense areas are one of key reasons for promoting consumer purchases. Additionally, parking fee has negative impact on choice of trading areas. |
