ABSTRACT
In the era of globalization, increasing the nation’s industrial competitiveness and
production value is a challenge to every country. Therefore Kenya must strive for
innovation, increase the added value of its products and enhance industrial competitiveness.
Today, shopping malls are not developed for a single functional purpose. The
contemporary shopping malls demonstrate diverse manifestations of creativity and culture.
Relative to the shopping avenues of the past, today’s shopping malls have more complex
and rich cultural functions.
The functional aspect of shopping mall serves to satisfy the economic model that connects
commercial entities and buyers
Another function is to provide a fascinating place that presents visitors with a culturally
creative and unique impression through its architectural and interior design
As an experiential place, a shopping mall must have a unique and special place that is
suitable for socialization
To attain such functions the spaces of a shopping mall must not be placeless.

The need for a shopping mall at Lida was as a result of the growth of the Lida market and
increase in population, therefore, creating a need for one stop shopping mall to help solve
the problem accessing all the required goods and services under one roof. Moreover the
relationship between the local culture of Luo people and shopping also influenced the need
for a mall.
The modern shopping mall is to be constructed on a 100 square meters piece of land and is
almost one kilometer from Mawego TTI.
The modern mall is to comprise of a basement parking for saloon cars with a general size of
30M by 20M wide. The height of the basement is 2.8m high. ground floor comprises of a
supermarket and rental stalls for tenants. The supermarket is big enough with a size of 30m
by 30m wide. The stall units for tenants are 6m by 5m wide large enough to accommodate
any tenant. It also has a washroom and eye clinic with a pharmacy.
The first floor also has an electrical and electronic accessories supermarket. The size of the
electronic supermarket is 31m by 20m wide. The first floor has a business college, a
conference hall and a cafeteria. It also has rental units of size 6m by 5m and a control room
for security use.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 INTRODUCTION:
The latest emerging trend in the corporate world is the emergence of shopping malls. The
first thing that comes into our minds about shopping malls is that it is a big enclosed
building housing a variety of shops and products. According to historical evidences
shopping malls came into existence in the middle age, though it was not called so. The
concept of departmental stores came up in the 19th century with the industrial revolution.
Consumers wanted a better shopping experience and this demand gave rise to the
emergence of shopping malls. Originally the first of the shopping malls was opened in
Paris. Then the trend followed in metros over the world.
The concept of shopping was altered completely with the emergence of shopping malls.
Shopping has no longer been limited to a mere buying activity- it has become synonymous
with splurging time and resources. People simply go about roaming through the shopping
mall in order to peep through the window of the shop and often end up buying they like.

1.2 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Shopping malls are also called retail parks or out of town shopping centers. Through this
market research project, I have made an attempt to address a few of the issues stated earlier.
The target population constitutes the people of Lida town in Rachuonyo sub-county.
I have studied a sample of 200 people to have a comprehensive view of the problem; I have
used various research methodologies to present the findings of my research.
I have made use of both primary and secondary research methods for data collection so as
to have an insight into the fact how my research report can form a source of information the
need for a shopping mall in the Lida market to create an employment opportunity and help
solve the problem of easy access to services and products.
1.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The success of a shopping mall depends on many factors, the major one being the mall
attractiveness which determines preference by both the potential tenants and consumers.it is
argued that the shopping mall attractiveness is an important consideration to the tenants,
developers and visiting customers. An attractive location and differentiation from
competitors are important to the developers that chose the site of a shopping mall and thus
preference of locating a mall and not any other thing.
With the advent of major shopping malls in Kenya, mall preference decisions by retailers
and consumers have emerged as an important domain of study. Over the last decade there
has been substantial research on the success factors of malls in the overseas countries.
However the research in the area of shopping mall is very limited in Kenya. This is the
knowledge gap that this project tries to fill. This study tries to establish the critical
dimensions that tenants/ retailers evaluate when making choices as to where to locate their
businesses among the various options available.

1.4 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The objectives of this study include:
To determine the influence of the location on the tenant preference of modern shopping
mall in Lida.
To asses to what extent tenant mix influence modern shopping mall in Lida.

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

This research is worthwhile undertaking as the findings may be of benefit to developers and
mall managers in ensuring a successful mall development in this competitive retail
environment. This research offers shopping mall developers an understanding of mall site
selection and development that will help them gain competitive advantage over other
competing firms. The study may also be important to store owners/ mall tenants in
determining the choice of their business location.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The modern shopping mall at Lida is a three storey building with a basement parking for
saloon cars with a height of 2.8 meters. Ground floor building has a size of 40M length by
30M wide. It has a general supermarket and several rental units of standard size 7M by 4M
wide. It also has a standard restaurant and eye clinic. The ground floor has a two stairs, one
from the basement parking to the ground floor and another one from the ground floor to the
next floor which is the first floor.
It has water closet and showers on both ground and first floor on the left and right hand
sides. It would consist of wide strip foundation. The foundation is in filled with handpicked
quarry hardcore with 150mm thick stone dust to receive the slab concrete. The basement
walling then commences from the basement slab with a height of 2.8 M.
Thereafter the ground floor slab is constructed of size 40 by 30 m wide. Waterproofing in
the basement is a key element and care has to be done.
It has superstructure wall made of natural Stone 200mm thick at height of 3.5 from ground
floor to the beam under the slab. The slab is 150mm thick reinforced concrete held by a
450mm reinforced beam at ratio 1:2:4.
The wall above the first floor is 3.5m high and 200mm thick natural Stone. The roof
consists of steel trusses and purlins at an angle of 30degrees covered by galvanized iron
sheet gauge 28.
Its ground and first floors has a25mm thick floor finish and 12mm thick internal wall finish
at both ground and first floor walls. The outer wall of both ground and floor are pointed at
stone joints and rendered at their column and beams.
Both internal and external finishes are painted in three coats of different colors at specified
places. It has ceiling made of gypsum at the first floor which improves its appearance and
also cover electrical and plumbing services also to reduce the volume of the room
enhancing its air conditioning

2.1 Kenya Vision 2030.

This is a new National development strategy that was developed for the period of
2008-2030.It aims at developing the Kenya Economy and Employment levels by the year
2030. Its goal is to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing, middle income country
providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment. The
vision targets to attain MDGS that were given a time limit to 2015.The vision has three
pillars: Economic, social and political governance. Economic pillar aims at achieving an
economic growth rate of 10% per annum. This vision has flagship projects to address the
same which are in various sectors such as agriculture, education, water and environment.
The vision envisages a country firmly interconnected through network of roads, railways,
ports, airports and waterways. It envisages that by 2030, it will become impossible to refer to
any region of the country as remote and so the focus would be oninvesting in the nation’s
infrastructure.
For Kenya to achieve a middle economy status it has to invest in its road network that
conforms to article 70 of constitution on environmental issues and article 43 on economic
and social rights among others by following these actions:
To upgrade road links in order to reduce traffic congestion and improve accessibility and
mobility to cope with increasing road traffic
To expand the road network by construction of new roads
To construct to paved standards all economically viable major urban arterials.

2.2 Millennium Development Goals

The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide a framework to plan and
implement development, and include time-bound targets and indicators by which progress
can be measured over the period from 1990 until 2020 when the targets are expected to be
met. Particular interest is given to the goal number seven which is to ensure environmental
sustainability. Target seven aims at integrating the principles of sustainable development into
country’s policies and programs and reduce loss of environmental resources. The
development project will take into account these principles and will ensure that the sources
of the materials used do not hamper environmental sustainability.

2.3 The city Metro 2030.

It takes into account that more than 57% of world population will be living in cities hence
there will be need for efficient transportation system. It envisages transport as a key
component in promoting a competitive business environment as well as a viable means in
which other economic and social objectives can be attained. This therefore creates the need
for an efficient transport system which minimizes travel times and distance.
City Metro was formulated in line with the vision 2030 key development agenda which
include: rapid economic growth, employment and balanced wealth creation, poverty
alleviation. Policy concurs with the fact that efficient transport minimizes travel time. The
policy document has measures dealing with transportation:
Mass rapid transit
Traffic management structures
Traffic law enforcement
Demand management
Road transportation and infrastructure measures.
Legal framework
2.4 Constitution
The Constitution classifies land as public land, private land and community land. The
Constitution also gives guidelines on how land is to be used equitably, efficiently,
productively and sustainably, Article 60(1). The State is given the authority to regulate the
use of land or any interest on or over land as stated in Article 66, for reasons as defense,
public safety, public order, land use planning, public morality and public health. The
Constitution states that all land in the country belongs to the state therefore any mineral
within the land is owned by the state.
The Constitution also requires that there is environmental conservation without which there
would be legal consequences.
The constitution stipulates that all Kenyans with any disability are entitled to reasonable
access to all places, public transport and information. This implies that traffic congestion
must be alleviated in order to promote accessibility. Traffic jams impedes accessibility.
Draft Integrated National Transport Policy Of 2003
The transport policy provides strategies that can be used to manage transport planning in the
country to facilitate movement and accessibility. This policy provides guidelines on the
linkages that should be established in the country. It aims at providing integrated, efficient,
reliable and sustainable road transport infrastructure that meets national and regional
passenger and freight transport goals. It envisions a transport system that is effective and
efficient in which there is a faster flow of goods and people while being environmentally and
economically sustainable.
CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY

3.1: SURVEY
I adopted grid method as the method of taking survey points and also during the coming up
of contours. This is because it is easy and the most comprehensive considering availability
of survey equipment which had to be shared in groups.
Survey had to be carried out in order to;
Conduct the necessary field survey work to determine the best alignment.
Carry out engineering survey on the chosen alignment in order to obtain data for the design
of the horizontal and vertical alignment.
Survey procedures carried out were;
Reconnaissance survey
Chain survey
Leveling
Contouring Reconnaissance survey
th
This activity was carried out on 12 May 2021 by a team which I led.
The activities carried out include;
Site selection.
Marking of obstacles.
Noting of obstacles.
Pre-existing features identification.
Running the survey lines.
Taking notes.

3.1.1 Site selection

Based on the clients’ requirements of the construction of modern shopping mall at Lida,
The project was to be constructed at Lida Market, one kilometer from Mawego TTI. The
project was to be set up in a 100 by 100m piece of alnd

3.1.2 Marking of obstacles

Being selected as the team leader, I lead my team to the site to be able to identify obstacles
that might hinder our process of survey work.

3.1.3 Noting of obstacles

Identified obstacles are noted down for easy re-identification during the process of surveying
and also to be able to find alternative methods and lines of sight without obstruction.
3.1.4 Pre-existing features
Features such as heaps of soil will be moved away. Also, trees will be cut down in order to
allow for the construction works to run out smoothly.
3.1.5 Running survey lines
The survey lines started from the east. Our baseline was on the eastern end and run across
northwards. The survey lines run through 64 points in total. The grid was made up of grids
measuring 10m by 10m on a 150m by 200m land.

3.1.6 Taking notes

All my team members each had to take notes on the procedures. The materials needed were:
a. Field book.
b. Pencil.
c. Tape.
d. Hammers.
e. Ranging rods.
f. Dumpy level.
g. Staff

3.1.7 Problems encountered

1. Misunderstandings among colleagues because some of them were unfamiliar with the
surveying method used.
2. Early tiresomeness among colleagues hence lack of concentration.
3. Unfavorable weather condition, hot sun all day long.
4. Inexperienced reading of the dumpy level among members hence taking a lot of time.
Chain surveying.
Linear measurements were taken using a tape measure. A skeleton framework was made
consisting of a number of lines forming a regular shaped square on the proposed site. The
intervals between the lines were 10m and the whole proposed site was 150mby 200m
rectangle. Materials used include:
Tape measure.
Pangas.
Hammers and mallets.
Ranging rods.
Pegs
3.1.8 Leveling.
The grids were established on the day of chaining. This was a 10m by 10m grid. They were
marked using wooden pegs. During leveling, the dumpy level was used to take the readings
on the leveling staff taking readings of each point on the grid. An assumed datum of
100.00m was used to calculate the reduced levels of all 64 points surveyed. Field levels
were taken as follows:

3.1.9 Contouring.
After reducing the levels of each of the grid points which is at the intersections, the levels
were then put into excel format in a systematic manner to help with the coming up of
contours using AutoCAD which is a computer software used in the most civil engineering
projects. I being competent and well conversant with AutoCAD operation, I came up with the
contour lines without any difficulty. The reduced levels were as follows;
SURVEY FIELD BOOK-LEVELING

3.2: SOIL MECHANICS

3.2.0SOIL INVESTIGATION
This is aimed at determining the characteristics of the soil at the proposed site in order to
carry out soil tests.
I took the samples of soil from the site at a distance of 20m interval and took them to the soil
mechanics laboratory in Mawego Technical Training Institute to test and get the correct
data to be used in design.
Soil sampling was done from different trial pits. These tools were required:
Two spades.
Tamping rod.
Moisture bags.
The following soil tests were conducted:
Sieve analysis (grading).
Plasticity index.
Moisture content test (proctor).
Bearing capacity test (CBR). Purpose of soil tests.
To provide the necessary data in order to come up with a structurally safe and economical
structure.
To come up with the best construction methods.
To be able to predict any possibilities of challenges and how to deal with them.
To be able to classify soil according to their appearance and physical characteristics
Sieve Analysis (Grading)
Purpose: to determine the grain size distribution in soils. Apparatus:
Riffle box
Weighing balance
Assorted sieve sizes
Procedure
The sample is passed through the riffle box to obtain the required quantity.
Weigh the sample to be sieved
The sample is soaked in a solution containing 2g of Sodium Hexameter Phosphate for
24hours. It is then washed and left to dry.
The sieves are then assembled in a descending order.
The dry sample is placed on the topmost sieve followed by shaking of the sieves.
The weights of the retained sample through each sieve size are taken.
A graph of percentage retained against sieve size is then plotted and then checked against
specification given.
Plasticity index.
The purpose of this test is to determine the plasticity of fine soil. Apparatus:
Casagrande
Groove
Wash bottle
Glass plate
Weigh balance
Palette knives
Pestle and mortar
Trough
Receiver
Sieve-425um

3.2.1 Procedure
Sample is crushed using pestle and mortar then passed through the sieve.
Water is added to the sample that passed through the sieve and mixed thoroughly using
palette knives on the glass plate to form a uniform paste.
A portion of the collected material is placed in the Casagrande which is the grooved leaving
a gap in the center.
The sample in the Casagrande is then hit with specified number of blows 50,40,30,20 and 10
till the grooved portions meet.
A portion of the wet sample for each number of blows is taken for moisture content
determination.
For shrinkage limit, the sample is hit through 25 blows then placed in a 140mm long trough
and air dried for 24hrs. The length of the dried sample is measured for the shrinkage limit
determination.

For plastic limit, the sample of the 50th blow is used after drying to make rolls that are used
in moisture content determination.
The higher the number of blows, the lesser the amount of moisture thus, soil is added to the
wet sample on the glass plate followed by thorough mixing.
A graph of moisture content against the number of blows is then plotted to determine the
liquid limit.
Moisture content test (proctor)
Purpose: To determine optimum moisture content maximum dry density of the soil.
Apparatus
Sieve 20
Mould, base plate and collar.
Measuring cylinder.
Rammer (2.5kg for field).
Weighing balance.
Straight edge chisel
Mixing plate Procedure
2500g of sample passed through the sieve 20 is weighed.
Using the measuring cylinder, the lowest amount of water is added to the soil sample then
mixed to achieve a homogeneous product.
The 2.5 rammer is used with the sample placed in three layers with 27 bows at each layer.
The collar is then removed from the mould and excess material trimmed using the straight
edge.
The sample is then weighed plus the mould and the base plate.
A portion of the compacted sample is then taken for moisture content determination.
The above processes are repeated with different amount of water till the optimum moisture
content is achieved.

3.2.2 Bearing Capacity Tests (CBR)

The purpose of the test is to determine the strength and stability of the soil material for
pavement construction.
It involves penetration of model soil sample with a cylindrical plunger at a constant
1mm/min.
The force corresponding to penetration of 2.5mm and 5.0mm are used to determine the
strength and stability of the soil.
MDD and OMC that were obtained in proctor test are used to calculate the mass of wet soil
and the mass of the dry soil and water content required.
Mass of wet soil= 0.95x23.0xMDDx (OMC x 100)1000
Dry soil= (wet soil+500) (PMC+100)
100
Amount of water =(PMC-OMC) x Dry soil

Apparatus
Mixing plate
Mould, base plate and collar
Weighing balance
Measuring cylinder
Spacer disc
2.5kg rammer
Swell disc
Procedure
Using the obtained proctor results, weigh the dry sample and measure the amount of water
then mix to obtain the wet material.
Take the portion of wet material for moisture content determination.
From the proctor result calculations, weigh the required wet material to be mould.
-For dynamic method, three moulds are used placing the materials in three layers compacting
each layer with 62 blows for the first mould, 25 blows for the second and 10 blows for the
last mould.
-in static method, the wet material is placed in CBR mould then using a jack, the material is
compressed in the mould.
Placing a swell disc on top of the mould, the initial swell readings are taken.
Place the mould in water for 4days in case of neat material.
After soaking, the final swell readings are taken.
The mould is left to d3rain then placed in CBR penetration machine penetrating the top and
bottom. The penetration readings are taken at intervals of 0.25 up to 5.00.

To obtain the strength, the values at 2.5mm and 5.0mm are multiplied by the ring factor for
both the top and the bottom then average.
Compaction factor = dry density x 100
MDD
3.2.3 DRAINAGE WORK
The main aim of the drainage pattern in the proposed site is to ensure that the rain water and
the surface water is removed from the road so that it cannot affect the pavement and the
structure in general.
Existing drainage system /Recommended and proposed drainage system.
There is an existing drainage system on the pavement and around the entrance of The lagoon
which collects all the rain water and the surface water which is directed along the main
pavement. The drainage gently slopes hence water moves by use of gravity. The new
structure will require some improvement on the drainage system since all the water
collected from elevated interchange will be directed to the main pavement drainage system.
Design of an economical channel
The principle used was the wetted perimeter; maximum discharge depends on the wetted
perimeter, given the coefficient of roughness and slope.
