Nowadays, shopping malls are multiplying rapidly in the Philippines, a phenomenon
particularly observed in most urbanized centers of the country. More than simply a place to purchase goods, these facilities, now referred to as "temples of consumerism" (and associated with the emergence of "mall culture"), have become a primary place for community and social interaction and an essential element in the daily lives of many people. The impact of this phenomenon in the lives of urban residents cannot be over emphasized. Observably, young and old people alike are somewhat hooked in frequenting mall centers for enumerable, variety of reasons. Previous research has shown that ambient and social signs are important factors affecting customer's effective habits which influence shopping behaviour in the environment of the shopping mall (Sadeghi and Bijandi 2011 ). There seems to be a connection between the design of mall facilities and the way customers behave toward their buying decisions. Hence, the intent of this research is to analyze the design environment of selected shopping malls and determine its influence in the shopping behavior of mall users, particularly focusing on young professionals. The research aims to organize a body of knowledge that can lead to a deeper understanding of the significance of design applied in shopping environment and how it influences young consumers' behavior.
