Abstract

This paper describes a simulation model for estimating radical changes in the location of retail facilities that is applied to the Fukuoka metropolitan area of Japan. The model has three important characteristics. First, it clears the retail employment by applying multiple regression analysis and a modified Huff model incorporating distance and population. Secondly, it allocates retail employment for two types of retail stores: convenience-goods stores and shopping-goods stores. Thirdly, it computes commercial floor area for each retail type.
