Big Data Application in Urban Commercial Center System Evaluation
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Literature Review
3. The Value Argumentation of Spatial Correlation of Urban Commercial Activities
- Research on features of the spatial distribution of commercial establishments. Building on the value of researching Nanjing’s business community and the interpretation of the current planning, we studied the features of the spatial distribution of shopping, catering, and life service facilities in the city proper using kernel density estimation. And a subsequent analysis of how the distribution of the three forms of business are spatially connected was used to verify the value and possibility of a spatial connection between different commercial formats.
- Research on the development, evaluation, and formation mechanism of the current system of urban commercial centers. Taking into account socioeconomic, material, and spatial attributes, as well as such big data as commercial POI, housing prices, population, and basic urban information, we examined the commercial agglomeration centrality, services by commercial facilities, parity between business forms, and attractiveness of such forms and comprehensively evaluated the land for existing commercial establishments in a way that measures the extent to which a piece of land has been commercialized. In the meantime, feedback from the questionnaire for the general public and results from the big-data assessment were investigated. Building on that, we studied how the system of current urban commercial centers was created.
- Evaluation results offered feedback on the existing commercial network planning, identified its weak spots, and provided suggestions for improvement. Upon a comparison between results from evaluating the system of commercial centers and the one proposed in the existing commercial network planning, we recognized the issues with the encouraged system and offered suggestions on optimizing the planning of commercial centers in Nanjing proper and better implementing them.
- To summarize, based on the explanation of the purpose and significance of the research, the core concepts of the article are analyzed, and the theoretical and practical research on commercial center system and POI-based big data at home and abroad are introduced, and the relevant empirical summaries are given to assist the later analysis and research. The article is also divided into three main parts: the study of spatial layout characteristics of the commercial network, the construction and evaluation of the assessment system of the current urban commercial center system, and the feedback of the assessment results on the current commercial network planning, proposing planning problems and providing improvement strategies (Figure 2).

4.1. Supporting Data and Evaluation Object
4.2. Selection of Evaluation Indicators
4.3. Analysis and Explanation of the Evaluation Indicators
4.3.1. Commercial Aggregation Centrality
4.3.2. Density of Commercial Establishments
- Facility population service level
- 2.
- Housing price and service level
- 3.
- The relationship among population density, land price, and commercial facility service level
4.3.3. The Spatial Mix of Commercial Establishments
- 1.
- In the main urban area of Nanjing, the layouts of catering and life service activities are generally in a state of equilibrium parity integration.
- 2.
- Xinjiekou area is the extraordinary core of catering and life service.
- 3.
- Under the binary structure of catering and life service commercial activities, the catering-dominant mixed area is more common than the life service in the main urban area of Nanjing. The catering industry forms a “cross“ equilibrium parity and advantageous mixing state in the main urban area of Nanjing.
4.3.4. Research on Commercial Attractiveness Level
- Search radius of 400 m (walking scale)
- Search radius of 4000 m (vehicle scale)
