Summary: With the advancement of information technology, online shopping has become an integral part of daily life, leading to more complex shopping behaviors. Despite the focus on traditional parcel delivery, little is known about the impacts of food and grocery deliveries. Through survey data analysis, this study found that factors affecting deliveries vary by type, with common unobserved factors positively correlating the three delivery types. Additionally, the relationships between deliveries and in-store shopping trips are influenced by delivery type and trip mode.

Summary: This study examines the changes in online and in-store grocery shopping in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. It found that there was an increase in online grocery purchases among consumerist individuals, while financially conservative individuals and those facing financial struggles showed a decrease. People bought more items per purchase in stores, visited stores less frequently, and transitioned from dining out to cooking at home. Those who enjoy driving and being physically active continued visiting stores more often. Social media use and health concerns influenced shopping patterns, and sociodemographic factors such as household income and race also impacted these changes.

Summary: This study investigated the needs and issues of older wheelchair users in outdoor activities and proposed ARbility, a wearable AR-based shopping system. ARbility supports product recognition and one-stop shopping functionality for wheelchair users, reducing physical loads. User evaluation showed a 33% decrease in arm movement, with participants validating its effectiveness and usability. The study concludes with implications on how a wearable AR-based shopping system supports active aging and inclusion of older wheelchair users.

Summary: Understanding customer needs is crucial for fashion retailers to remain competitive and innovative. However, previous research mainly focuses on customers' needs regarding garments and their attributes, neglecting the problem-solving process of meeting customer needs during shopping. Additionally, these studies fail to address how customers fulfill their needs in-store and online fashion retailing. To address this gap, we conducted an empirical study on customers' personal and social needs and how they can be met using the jobs-to-be-done theory. Our findings indicate that customer needs can be fulfilled through various means, such as the use of smart technology or social interactions in the physical store, and the online shopping experience or social connections in online fashion retailing. Furthermore, our research provides potential service innovations for fashion retail managers.

Summary: Attitudes related to travel and the built environment have complex and potentially conflicting relationships, with recent research highlighting the potential reverse causality hypothesis in addition to the previously supported residential self-selection hypothesis. Land-use policies have been shown to significantly impact the distance traveled by cars. Longitudinal studies are recommended to further explore these dynamics.
