The Influence of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Hedonists and Utilitarians: A Study of Shopping Behavior from Slovakia
Visualising excess commuting to kindergartens
This study analyses and visualises excess commuting of preschool-aged children to kindergartens in Slovakia using a spatial optimisation framework. In the context of recent legislative changes increasing participation in pre-primary education, the research evaluates how observed commuting patterns deviate from theoretically minimal-distance allocations. Excess commuting is estimated by comparing observed inter-municipal flows with optimal capacit…
Post-socialist retail worlds: Common and different paths of Czech and Slovak market transformation
This paper explores the transformation of the retail sector in the Czech and Slovak Republics following the collapse of the centrally planned economy in 1989. It identifies three core stages of retail development – atomisation, internationalisation, and consolidation – and analyses their temporal and spatial dynamics in both countries. Drawing on extensive empirical data, the study highlights key differences in the space and structure of transfor…
Grocery Retail Location Patterns in Brno: Clustering, Inequality and Street Network Centrality
This study aims to evaluate the spatial distribution and clustering patterns of grocery retail chains in Brno, Czech Republic, focusing on national and multinational stores. By employing Geographic Information Systems and advanced spatial analysis techniques, including the nearest neighbour method, standard deviational ellipse, Kernel density estimation and street network centrality measures, the research identifies significant spatial clustering…
Generational shifts in grocery shopping behavior: The Covid‐19 pandemic impact across generations
Generational shifts in consumer shopping behavior have garnered increasing interest, particularly due to the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic on different age cohorts. This study examines changes in the shopping behavior of Slovak consumers in 2020, 2021, and 2024 using representative research data, focusing on all generational cohorts (except Generation Alpha). The analysis reveals differences and similarities in fast‐moving consumer goods shoppi…
Proximity to Kindergartens and Housing Price: The Case of Bratislava Hinterland
National retailing after the Second World War: Structural changes, differences and the impact of the socialist model on the Czech and Slovak Republics (1953–1989)
Changes in retail structures, processes, and culture in post-war Europe were strongly affected by the post-war economic boom, the origin of a mass consumer society, and the adaptation of innovations from the United States. Retail structures and the culture of consumption remained different in the Czech and Slovak parts of the former Czechoslovakia after the Second World War, which influenced the development of retail trade in both countries. Afte…
Buy Domestic? Emerging Food Nationalism in Slovakia
In a rapidly globalising world, food nationalism has been the subject of research in many fields. The paper discusses food nationalism, in relation to the social and spatial aspects of consumers' shopping behaviour. According to the results of a two‐step cluster analysis, food nationalism has no significant relationship with permanent residence of consumers. Economic status, however, was the only factor to demonstrate a statistically significant …
Does visiting a community garden enhance social relations? Evidence from an East European city
The aim of the article is to identify the impact of the frequency of visits to community gardens in Slovakia with regard to how people perceived the importance of membership of community garden, how satisfied they were in general with community relations in the gardens, how they perceived improved social relations between people, and the influence of the community gardens on the members’ quality of life. A mixed methods approach was adopted compr…
Consumers preferences of shopping centers in Bratislava (Slovakia)
There have been changes in the shopping behavior and preferences of consumers in the post-communist countries caused by political changes after 1989. Slovakia is not an exception, and it has been observed a change not only at the consumers’ level but also in retail stores. A notable bearer of such changes was the construction of big shopping centers that were a new phenomenon in shopping. They quickly became popular and changed spatial and shoppi…
