Abstract
The foreign experience shows that growing percentages of young people in urban agglomerations spend their leisure time in shopping malls. This paper presents a pilot study aimed to foster the interest in geography of children and youth, to apply the qualitative research tools neglected within the Czech social geography.
It also draws attention to emergence of a particular group within a specific environment - the teenagers in the shopping mall, thus both the phenomenon new and recently unknown to the Czech society and space. Mall represents an ideal space for the teenagers; they produce their spatial identities and socio-spatial order within this environment.
They create a mall microculture by combination of personalities, locations and events they share in the mall environment.
