Description

This study aimed to show the locational trends of large-scale retail stores from the perspective of locational regulations. The Tokushima urban region was selected as the study area.<br>First, the implementation process of locational regulations in the urban region was investigated. The parameters analyzed were the Large-Scale Retail Store Law and the Large-Scale Retail Store Location Law. As a result, the locational regulations of the study area were found to be less stringent than the national trend.<br>Second, the locational trends of large-scale retail stores in the Tokushima urban region were analyzed. Two findings were derived: 1) some non-local companies opened many stores such as general merchandise stores or supermarkets in the 1980s. In this period, the national government strictly implemented large-scale retail store regulations. 2) Although the national government enacted flexible locational regulations in the 1990s, large-scale retail stores were expanded to the suburbs after 2000. This may be due to the launching of new locational regulation such as the Large-Scale Retail Store Location Law in the 2000s.<br>Furthermore, due to the inconsistency between the local regulations and the Large-Scale Retail Store Law, the local government of the region was reluctant to enforce locational regulations. Therefore, the law governing the opening of large-scale retail stores was not fully complied with in the early decades, which eventually affected the location of large scale retail stores and the spatial pattern of commercial accumulation and shopping behavior of the people.
