Geographical Studies on the relationships between the large-scale retail stores and the retail structur

本研究的目的是研究1970年至2000年日本零售业结构的变迁。首先，研究了大型商店空间格局的变化与零售结构的变化之间的关系。其次，分析了近畿地区零售结构空间格局的变化。作者将日本分为三个地区：三个都市圈，其他都市圈，其他地区。在三个首都圈，大型商店和连锁店的比例是日本最高的。在其他地区，每1 000人拥有的小型零售商店和商店的比例在日本最高。在其他地区，从1970年到2000年，1000人的销售额迅速增长，因为这一时期人口数量减少了。在近畿地区，从1979年开始，市中心和农村地区的零售店数量开始减少。零售店数量减少的原因可以用这些地区人口的减少来解释。1982年以后，在郊区，零售店的数量迅速减少。1982年以后，农村地区的零售店数量缓慢减少。因此，100人的零售点数量在1997年是最高的。

The purpose of this study is to research the changing retail structure imt Japan from 1970 to 2000. First, the author deals with the relationships between the changing spatial patterns of large-scale stores with the changing retail structures. Second, the author deals with the changes in spatial patterns of retail structure in Kinki Region.The auhor divided Japan into three areas : three metropolitan areas, other metropolitan areas, other areas. In three metropolitan areas, the ratios of large-scale stores and chain sotres are the highest in Japan. In other areas, the ratios of small retail shops and outles bv 1,000 persons are the highest in Janan. And in other areas, the sales by 1,000 persons have increased rapidly from 1970 to 2000 because the number of poplation has decreased during this period.In Kinki Region, the number of retail outlets in inner citeies and rulal areas began to decrease from 1979. The reason of this decrease in number of retail outlets can is explained by the decrease in poplation in these areas. After 1982, in suburban areas, the number of retail outlets has decreased rapidly. After 1982, the number of retail outlets has decreased slowly in rulal areas. So the retail outlets by 100 persons is the highest in 1997.
