It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar. --Thoreau That being said, a couple books come to mind with examples of this type of research. William Whyte wrote a short book called the Social Life of Small Urban Spaces and Paco Underhill (who worked for Whyte on the Project for Public Spaces) wrote Why We Buy and calls his approach "the science of shopping."
