Journal Title: Вісник Львівського університету. Серія географічна - Year 2015, Vol 49, Issue
Abstract
The features of modern placement of the trade establishments are analysed in the Lviv region. The main factors that led to the formation of the trade establishment in a particular locality or region are determined. These factors include economic and geographic, demographic and resettlements, social and other factors (geographical, transportation, neighbourhood location etc.). The basic criteria for grouping of cities are defined by the level of retail development. The main criteria for grouping of cities by the level of retail development are the number of modern trade establishments in Western Ukraine, classification of retailers by region covering, population quantity. Because of the influence of these criteria, there are six groups of location by the level of trade networks development. There are very high, high, above average, average, below average and low levels. We highlight six main groups and form next following key trends. The biggest attention is given to the regional centres as the most development retail cities. The highest concentration of trade institutions is in Lviv region as the most economically developed. After Lviv, the largest number of establishments retailers concentrated in Volhyn and Ivano-Frankivsk region. The number of establishments of retailers mainly depends on the population size of the locations. The largest concentration is observed in regional centres, and cities such as Drohobych, Kalush, Kovel, Stryi, Truskavets and Chervonohrad. The lowest concentration of retailers is in Ternopil and Chernivtsi regions, due to the predominance of small towns. We offer the ways of optimizing retailers.
