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.
