Afetos, consumo e pandemia na retomada do natal mágico do Parque Shopping Belém

Abstract

This course completion project examines the market, health, and emotional interaction between the public and Parque Shopping Belém during the Christmas of 2021, amidst the instability caused by the Coronavirus. Its relevance stands out due to the scarcity of relevant studies on the subject in the Northern region of the country, emphasizing the uniqueness of the thesis. The methodological procedures employed combined secondary and primary data using exploratory and descriptive methods, the latter in both qualitative and quantitative versions. To understand consumer behavior and assess their "affectation," a specific questionnaire for the Christmas environment in shopping malls was developed, allowing for a detailed analysis. Data collection revealed the existence of an engaged group that experiences the shopping mall Christmas, predominantly composed of families from various social structures. Thus, despite the "surprise" enchantment provided by the Christmas attractions at Parque Shopping Belém, the engaged participation of this audience contributed to making Christmas 2021 even more significant and emotional.
