抄録

The characteristis of the market area are: (1) the large one includes the smaller in it, (2) They are connected with each other. As for interior of the city, the market area of the central shopping streets covers the whole eity, in which we find many market areas of the peripheral shopping streets.
Central shopping streets means its market area stretching not only to the whole city, but to the outside of the city. Their characteristics are: (1) shops are closed, (2) all shops are specialized, (3) many cinemas and theatres are found in or near the streets. Thus the market area is so wide that many purchasers come to the streets by car and bus.
Peripheral shopping street means its market area stretching only to its peripheral area. Shops detail in the daily necessaries. The purchasers are required to come to the street so often that they select the nearest shopping street as their shopping place. Thus the distance between the purchasers and the shopping street must be small. In Kyoto, average distance between them is 7.5 minutes distance on foot.
