中文摘要:

      经济活动的区位分析是区域经济学和经济地理学领域最古老和最重要的研究内容之一。由于区位是决定零售业成功的关键因素,商业区位研究一直受到关注。本文回顾了20世纪中期以来国外商业区位研究的新进展,认为商业区位研究视角出现多样化趋势,并与商业活动的现实情况更加接近,数学模型和计算机技术的不断引入促进商业区位研究从单纯经验性描述向定量和定性相结合的方向发展,区位选择程序和模型也由静态分析逐渐过渡到动态模拟。

英文摘要:

      Location analysis on economic activity is one of the most ancient and most important topics in regional economics and economic geography. Because location is the key factor in determining the success of retail industry, great concerns have been paid to the research on commercial location. This paper reviews the new progress in the research on commercial location from the mid-twentieth century. It is believed that the research on commercial location has a tendency of diversification in perspective, much closer to real commercial activities. Due to the constant application of math model and computer technology, the research on commercial location has turned from simple description of experiences to the combination of both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The procedure and model for location choice have changed gradually from static analysis to dynamic simulation.
