Economic Effect of NPO Activity in Local Central Business District

本研究认为，传统购物街的社会经济激励应以非营利组织与购物街店主协会的伙伴关系为基础。根据《大型零售商店选址法》，销售面积超过几万平方米的大型零售商店被允许入驻。它们大多位于郊区，从更广泛的当地地区聚集了更多的消费者。当地主要街道上的许多传统零售商店的销售都很低迷。还有人说，大型零售商店导致周边地区的生活环境恶化。因此，不仅是中小企业协会，地方政府也要求限制大型零售商铺在郊区的自由进出，如优良的农用地和空置的工业园区。根据商业普查的销售数据，可以清楚地表明，大型零售商店不能从3000平方米以下的销售楼层中获得经济规模效益。这一事实推动了大型零售商店的销售楼层越来越大。但传统商业街的店铺销售效率均值与路边型大型零售店相比，按就业人数计算仍处于较低水平，但按销售楼层计算却处于相同水平。这一事实也导致了传统商业街小型零售商店的数量减少。NPO与店主协会合作的进展已被明确认可为传统购物街的激励之一。居民和游客都要求购物街的情况应该基本保持安全，然后才是购物和公共服务。此外，他们期望店主的行动，并采取合理的方法修复历史建筑，老年人购物支持系统，全球环境问题等。
