An Analysis of Intra Urban Consumer Spatial Behavior at Varying Levels of Spatial Aggregation

Abstract

<p>Intra urban consumer spatial behavior is investigated at three scales of analysis. A stepwise compilation of the regression model is used to explain variation in both distance and frequency measures at these scales. Changes in the importance of the variables between scales are noted together with changes from one area to another at the same scale of analysis. Residuals from the regression models are investigated to find the strength of locational differentials among the population in explaining consumer spatial behavior at the three scales of analysis.</p>
