Distribution Intensity Model of Retail Logistics Outlets in Metropolitan Scale Cities Based on Spatial Structures

Abstract

This study uses the term distribution intensity of Retail Logistics Outlets (RLO) to see its effect on the dynamics of the development of RLO in the metropolitan area. RLO in Makassar city contributes to the formation of spatial structures. This is seen as a change in the function of the area into services by mushrooming RLO in areas with high density levels. The cause of the change in the emergence of RLO as a pull factor in the movement system in general, so that, it impacts spatial interactions. The researcher considers that this is still a new and very interesting thing to do in this research. The focus is on the effect of RLO on the development of spatial structures in the Metropolitan city of Makassar using the analysis of the distribution of the nearest neighboring regions and linear regression. The results of this study can provide several references for spatial planners in space control policies towards the development of city logistics.

Analysis of the Potential of Commercial Corridor Based on Consumer Movement Interactions in Central Jakarta

“…The concept of accumulation in the theory suggests that industries often cluster together to benefit from reduced logistics costs and access to a skilled labor market [23]. Shopping malls are often strategically located in areas with a wide variety of retail facilities to attract more consumers, following Webber's location theory, where transportation costs play a crucial role in industrial location decisions [24]. Shopping centers are typically situated in easily accessible areas near main roads or public transportation routes to facilitate consumer visits [25].…”
