As a result of changing conditions in Canada since the Second World War, suburban municipalities, that is those municipalities adjacent to urban centres which still have agricultural land, have found themselves coping with the problems of rapid urbanization. The suburban municipalities seem to have failed in meeting these problems, partly as the result of not having a positive land use policy. By positive policy is meant the type which states objectives and attempts to achieve these goals as opposed to the negative type which merely regulates. This lack of a positive policy is especially noticeable in regard to the location of the neighbourhood shopping centre, which is the focal point of modern residential suburban development. An examination of the public interest in general terms, and then specifically in regard to the location of the neighbourhood shopping centre shows that the public interest warrants control as to its location. The control techniques in the past have been Conventional Zoning and Subdivision Control. By Conventional Zoning is meant the type of zoning which is carried out without corelation with a general or master plan for development of the municipality. A historical and legal examination of these two techniques shows that although they were effective to some extent in the past, they are basically weak owing to their negative character, and also they are not suited to control land use in regard to modern methods of development. This is shown by examining these two techniques in effect in a sample suburban municipality of Delta, B.C. Since Conventional Zoning and Subdivision Control are found to be ineffective, such positive techniques as land acquisition, purchase of development rights, land assembly, replotting, modern zoning techniques, and different physical and economic controls are examined as to their effectiveness on the Canadian scene and in the countries where they are extensively used. The different techniques are then tried out hypothetically as they might be used to control the location of the neighbourhood shopping centre in the example municipality of Delta, B.C. It is found that the purchase of the future site of the neighbourhood shopping centre is the most effective way in which a Canadian suburban municipality can control the location of its neighbourhood shopping centre. The conclusion from the study is that Canadian suburban municipalities in the past have not met the challenge of rapid urbanization both in general terms and specifically in regard to controlling the location of the neighbourhood shopping centre which is the key to modern suburban residential development. This challenge can be met if the suburban municipalities adopt a positive policy for the overall development of the municipality which will be reflected in the use of a technique such as site purchase to control the location of the neighbourhood shopping centre. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka fenomenet shoppingturism. Skribenterna valde att utifrån sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer kartlägga de faktorer som bidrar till att resenärer åker på en shoppingresa. Därutöver undersökte skribenterna även om shoppingturism kan kopplas samman med upplevelseturism samt om respondenterna anser att shoppingresandet kan ha någon påverkan på en destination. Metoden som skribenterna har använt sig av är en kvalitativ intervjustudie där intervjumanualen var halvstrukturerad. För att tolka de resultat som framkommit under samtliga intervjuer har skribenterna använt sig av tidigare forskning samt diverse teoretiska analysverktyg. Under empiriavsnittet har skribenterna redovisat de resultat som framkom under samtliga intervjuer. Empiriavsnittet är uppdelat i fem rubriker. Under den första rubriken presenteras intervjudeltagarna. Under den andra rubriken presenteras de faktorer som intervjudeltagarna anser vara bidragande till att de åker på en shoppingresa. Under den tredje rubriken presenteras infrastrukturens samt resekostnaders betydelse för en destination. Under den fjärde rubriken presenteras huruvida shoppingturismen kan kopplas till upplevelseturismen och slutligen presenteras under den femte rubriken huruvida shoppingresandet kan påverka en destination enligt respondenterna. / The purpose of this paper is to investigate the phenomenon of shopping tourism. The writers chose to identify the factors that contribute to the travelers to go on a shopping trip from six qualitative interviews. In addition, the writers also investigated if shopping tourism can be connected with adventure tourism and if the respondents think that shopping travel can have an impact on a destination. The method which the writers have used is a qualitative interview study in which the interview guide was semi-structured. To interpret the results that emerged from all interviews, the writers made use of previous research and various theoretical analyses. In the empirical section which is divided into five headings, the authors reported the results that emerged from all interviews. The first section contains a presentation of the interview participants. The second section presents the factors that the interview participants feel contributes them to go on a shopping trip. The third section presents the importance of the infrastructure and travel expenses for a destination. The fourth section presents whether shopping tourism can be linked to experience tourism and in conclusion the fifth section presents whether shopping travel can affect a destination according to the respondents.
