A PDF - based method for analyzing the retail structure in a metropolis
نویسنده
چکیده
The present paper proposed a new method for analyzing the retail structure in a metropolis, using microscale location data of individual retail establishments. The method is based on the probability distribution function (PDF) of establishments estimated from their locational data. The application of the method to the retail structure in Yokohama showed some empirical findings: (1) retail activities that tend to gather with the same type of establishments also gather with other types of establishments, (2) a close relationship exists between the degree of agglomeration and retail function, (3) there are six major patterns of retail distributions, (4) there are five levels of retail agglomerations including isolated stores.
