• W136126710 abstract "Since World War Two, a feature of the economic growthof advanced Western nations has been the rapidly-increasingimportance of the tertiary sector, which includes retailing. InAustralia, for example, the percentage of the national workforceemployed in the supply of tertiary goods and services has risenfrom 54.8 to 60.1; the percentage of G.N.P. contributed by thetertiary sector has risen from 45.9 to 53.2. In Australia too, thegreatest contribution to the growth of the tertiary sector was madeby retailing, which between 1954 and 1961 contributed 19% of theincrease in employment in the 27 tertiary industries. The VernonCommittee of Economic Enquiry attributes these trends not primarilyto rapid increases in population and personal disposable incomes,but to the increasing demands for a complex superstructure oftertiary goods and services which arise with the continued growthof an already highly-developed economy. The supply of tertiary goods and services has beenincreasingly concentrated in major metropolitan areas. In Australia,this has occurred at an even faster rate than that of the centralisationof the nation' s population in the state capitals. It has resulted ina noticable increase in the demand for urban land especially fortransportation and retail and office uses, in competition with thedemands for land for residential, manufacturing and other uses. Inparticular, over the last ten to fifteen years, the proliferation oflarge planned and unplanned shopping and office centres, and oflarge-scale retail establishments and multi-establishment retail firms,has been on of the most spectacular developments in Westerneconomies. The 'correct' selection, prediction and control of thelocations of retail establishments - and particularly of the locationsof retail establishments within metropolitan areas - have accordinglybecome important questions. For the executives of retail firms,location decisions seem to have become as important as decisionsabout price ,service, product variety and advertising in determiningthe success of the firm in cutthroat competition with others in rapidlygrowing markets. For authorities in the public sector, questions concerning the quantity and position of land to be allocated todifferent sizes and types of shopping centre, in preference toalternative uses, raise significant social welfare problems. Notonly do these problems include, for example, the obvious generalone of weighing the relative social costs and benefits of havinglarger, more centralised, as against smaller, more dispersed retailestablishments. They also include such particular problems asthe effects on the prices of goods sold and on the ranges of goodsavailable for consumer choice of planned retail developments ofdifferent size and location. One key to the selection, prediction and control of thelocations of retail establishments seems to be in the developmentof a theory of retail location which will help identify all theimportant variables which affect the profitability of retail outletsin different locations, and the precise ways in which these variablesoperate. This thesis is designed as a contribution to the developmentof such a theory. In Chapter one, the deficiencies of existingtheories were mentioned, and two new hypotheses are framed toaccount for the locations of retail establishments. In the remainderof the thesis, the hypotheses are tested using data for the sample ofretail establishments comprising the Hobart groceries trade in 1964.The framing and testing of the two hypotheses are designed to pavethe way towards the improved explanation, prediction and control ofthe locations of retail establishments." @default.
