Abstract
In this article, I review an outline of the location pattern of retail stores since the 1990s from the viewpoint of the location control of retailing after the deregulation of the Large-Scale Retail Store Act. I summarize the results of the study, which show that the deregulation has affected the location of convenience stores, roadside shops and large-scale retail stores. Examples of the deregulation are the deregulation of operating under land development permission in urbanization control areas since the 1990s, the deregulation of operating under the development permission ordinance of Article 34, Sections 11 and 12 of the City Planning Law in urbanization control areas since 2000, and the deregulation of the Large-Scale Retail Store Act since the 1990s.
