Cabot Circus
- Statistics
- Chi Square
- NH- All sites attract equal
amount of shoppers
- RESULT- Some areas are
more attractive than others

- Systematic
- 8 200m intervals along
broadmead + Cabot
- Pragmatic
- Questionnaire
- Secondary Data
- Shopping guides
- Galleries/ Cabot - Land use
- Background (See other)
- Rateable values
- VOA.gov web
- Site 7 ( in centre
of CC) had the
biggest rateable
value at £890/m^2
- Comparison of land values
- Location Maps
- Conclusion
- Does the Evironmental Quality
Vary Across the CBD?
- Yes, but not as drastic as
expected. Broadmead responded to
the development of Cabot Circus
and has improved. This is to keep
up with the shopping centre in terms
of sales.
- To what Extent does Cabot Circus enhance
the retail experience of shoppers?
- Does enhance
retailing experience!
- Does the shop type vary across
the CBD?
- Diversity index shows broadmead
has a wider variety. Land use bar
graph shows all types of land use,
apart from florist and proffesional
services. These could be outside
the CBD.
- How do shoppers perceive the CBD?
- A desireable shopping city centre
with two well known shopping
developments. Questionnaire
shoed people were divided between
which area they prefered.
- Evaluation
- Further Development
- Different data at different intervals (e.g 4 seasons)
- Seasonal figures make a
difference? ( like Christmas)
- Look at previous
revenue figures to see if
CC has brought
something to the area.
- Look at development of Broadmead
since 2008. This would show how
the high street is competing with the
shopping centre and what its doing
to achieve that
- Background info
- Not all sources reliable,
but secondary table
evaluated potential bias.
- Fieldwork Techniques
- Worked with other students to get more
accurate results (e.g Questionnaire)
- Pedestrain count- Hard to keep track in
really busy areas.
- Only do it in one direction to
reduce error in the future
- Data Representation
- Questionnaire- Open
questions hard to quantify in
order to represent the data.
- Bi Polar Analysis- Hard to identify
less obvious data patterns when the
lines follow a similar line
- Isopleth- Difficult to
accurately draw, but
good visual
representation,
- Analysis
- Analysis on the back of
each method of
representation. More
accurate than a general
analysis
