Spatial Structures of Shopping Districts with Neighboring Universities in China-A Case of Yuelu Campus City, Changsha
Unlike uniformly designed modern shopping malls, traditional shopping districts have various intrinsic contexts like geographical environments and historical backgrounds.In this essay, I take the shopping district in Yuelu Campus City as an example in order to clarify its space structure by conducting the following three kinds of field survey;research on the tenants,interviews with the shop owners and observational research of landscape.From those surveys, the following facts came to light.First, the district consists of a particularly high number of restaurants and take-out stands, as well as many bookstores and guest houses.This composition is attributed to good geographical location of the district;that is, it is surrounded by neighboring universities.Another characteristic is that numerous tenant replacements have been occurred there.We concluded that this phenomenon was primarily caused by the high shop density in the district.In terms of landscape, the structures and heights of the shop facades are mostly non-unified.In addition, standing signboards and display of merchandise outside shops properties on the roadside, which used to be seen, were banned by the government in 2014, which has changed the districts character considerably.
