“…Studies investigating the factors that influence location preference and market potential of QSRs often examine the relationship between the QSR sector and sociocultural factors such as the health conditions or eating habits of consumers (Powell et al, 2007;Larson et al, 2009;Black et al, 2011). In addition, it is found by the current studies in literature that factors like proximity and ethnicity (Eckert and Shetty, 2011;Morland et al, 2002), household income (Cummins et al, 2005;Walker et al, 2014) and culinary culture (Zhang et al, 2014) play a significant role in the spatial distribution of international QSRs. However, the most important criteria for achieving success on the international scale seem to be the correct analysis of local data on the trade area scale and the choice of location based on sales forecasting made with these data (Thomadsen, 2007;Nieh and Pong, 2012).…”

International quick service restaurants (QSRs) have become a standalone sector due to their significant market share throughout the world instead of being considered under the food and beverage sector. The success of QSR site selection is directly related to land use and market potential estimation. This relationship has a significant influence on urban texture, identity and cities' development processes, given the high number of QSRs in urban spaces. Diverging from the current retail sector dynamics, the QSR sector brings to the table different needs in terms of trade area characteristics and spatial characteristics. In this respect, the aim of this research is to deliberate a methodological framework investigating site selection decisions of international QSRs and to establish a conceptual framework for an applicable model. Accordingly, first, the relationship between trade area analysis and site selection of international QSRs is examined. After that, trade area models of The Proximal Area Model, Reilly's Law of Retail Gravitation Model, Central Place Theory, Huff Model, Analog Model and Geographic

“…Another inspiring example is Jaskiewicz, Block, and Chavez (2016) in the context of health geography; they compared different accessibility methods (container, coverage, minimum distance, average distance, gravity kernel and two-step floating cachement area) using a mapping process to highlight differences and similarities. Along the same line, Eckert and Shetty (2011) mapped food access using the average distance to stores. Finally, it is needed to underline the study carried out by Song and Sohn (2007), which analysed accessibility of single-family houses to retail stores.…”

Under the context of collaborative transport planning paradigms, maps should be seen as learning instruments that create dialogue spaces between stakeholders involved in policymaking, rather than simply demonstration tools for transport planning diagnosis and outcomes. This paper explores the role of maps in collaborative transport planning through the elaboration process of the 'Retail Mobility Environments' map, a planning concept focused on how non-motorised modes and retail activity are interconnected. This map aims to provide a meaningful tool to assists stakeholders during policy-making, creating a common framework for discussion. The city of Zaragoza (Spain) is taken as case study. The map consists of two parts: (1) based on a mixed approach (both quantitative and qualitative), the spatial distribution of 'Retail Mobility Environments' is shown; (2) based on design approaches, specific characteristics of those 'Retail Mobility Environments' are detailed. The paper closes with some concluding remarks on the role of maps under collaborative planning schemes. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…However, profound intervention in the food environment has often been and still is neglected by urban planning and government policy. The logic in policy was that food, in contrast to air and water, was not a public good, although it constitutes a basic human need (Eckert andShetty, 2011, pg. 1218).…”

“…Urban planning for effective and policy interventions could improve equity in food access and tackle the market failures that have arisen. It is apparent that a comprehensive solution must include several fields of planning and should cover all dimensions of access (Eckert andShetty, 2011, pg. 1218).…”
