Overview

The shopping centre (mall) is the central hub of modern retailing and holds a significant role in developing a first overall impression. As a result, shopping centres (malls) have focussed on creating positive customer experiences in shared public spaces. Bringing natural elements such as green plants, flowerbeds, water features, aquariums, animals, birds, and butterfly gardens into the hotel service setting, is an innovative approach known as biophilic design.

The purpose of this research is to understand the impact of biophilic elements on the customer experience.

Research activities

This project will involve a systematic literature review and quantitative and experimental research methods.

Outcomes

The purpose of this research is to understand the impact of biophilic elements on the customer experience, which will inform the sector.
