However, studies related consumer attitudes towards private shopping sites in Turkey are limited in the literature. So, the main aim of this paper is revealing variables that affect attitudes of PSSs customers in Turkey and conceptualizing these variables within the scope of a model that depends on Technology Acceptance Model （TAM） In this descriptive study, research population includes all of the consumers who made at least one shopping from PSSs in Turkey and ＂snowball sampling method＂ is used. In consequence of an online survey application 409 questionnaires are analyzed. As a result of regression analysis, all of the 14 hypotheses are accepted. In conclusion all of the variables in the model （product quality, delivery service, system quality, information quality, service quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, compatibility, privacy, and security） have significant relations with consumer attitudes. The most important variables in building positive attitudes towards PSSs are perceived usefulness and compatibility. Conversely the lowest variance prediction percentage belongs to privacy variable.展开更多

The project intends to use and integrate available products and technologies; along with a network to accurately monitor the environmental and occupancy parameters to allow the building management system to have better control of the building and fully exploit the thermal mass. This paper introduces the EcoShopping project and the consortium carrying out the work, describes the case study building and the initial targets for carbon reduction, and discusses the results of Work Package 2： which is an assessment of national building codes, EPBD （energy performance buildings directive） implementation, performance standards and good practice.展开更多

At the same time, the online shopping could not be successfully completed without logistics service. Logistics service quality (LSQ) has significant impact on revenue and profitability. This paper presents the issue from the perspective of the customer, and explores the initial factors of LSQ based on the online shopping through in-depth interview and the Delphi method. The survey uses a standard 7-point Likert-type scale to measure the LSQ. Empirical research results are shown in detail to confirm seven LSQ dimensions with Chinese characteristics, including timeliness quality, personal contact quality, order quality, order discrepancy handling, order condition and convenience. Statistical analyses of the investigation were conducted to test the reliability and validity of the LSQ evaluation model.展开更多
