Abstract

In areas such as trade area analysis and urban planning, the maturity assessment of central places is important information to be taken into account for rational decision-making. In this study, 3 business areas, typical retail businesses (retail, personal service, food and beverage), are extracted from year 2004 and 2009 phone books, and centrality index and location quotients for 3 business areas are calculated. Using these outputs growth, declination, and maturation of central places are figured out, then comparing and analyzing these results assessment method for central places is proposed. As a result, it is known that the maturity of central place, such as growing, declining, and maturing, can be assessed by comparing the location quotients of 3 retail business areas. In growing central place, location quotient of food and beverage business is much higher than others, and in maturing central place, that of retail business is much higher than others. Assessment results of central places are very useful, as an important index, to determine branch opening or select business area, in trade area analysis.

도시계획이나 상권분석 등의 분야에서, 중심지의 성숙도와 같은 중심지에 대한 평가는 합리적 의사결정을 위해 고려하여야 할 중요한 정보이다. 본 연구에서는 서울시에 대한 2004년과 2009년의 전화번호부 업종 데이터 중 대표적인 소매업종인 소매, 생활서비스, 음식업의 세 업종을 선택하여 중심성 지수와 입지계수를 구했다. 중심성 지수와 세 개의 소매업종에 대한 입지계수로부터 각각 중심지의 성장, 쇠퇴, 성숙을 파악하고 이를 비교, 분석하여 중심지 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 어떤 중심지에 대해서 세 소매업종에 대한 입지계수를 비교하여 성장지역인지, 쇠퇴지역인지, 아니면 성숙지역인지의 여부를 파악할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 중심지의 평가 결과는 상권분석에서 업종의 선택이나 출점 가능 여부 판단과 같은 업무에서 중요한 지표로 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
