Retail stores serve as one of the most immediate and accessible destinations for residents\u2019 consumption, and their spatial configuration has a direct impact on residents\u2019 satisfaction and happiness in their daily lives. In this context, for the present study we selected the central urban area of Lanzhou City as the case study area. Based on POI data and using the daily life circle as the basic unit, we applied methods such as kernel density analysis, hotspot analysis, and the Shannon\u2013Weaver index to analyze spatial distribution patterns of the retail industry. Furthermore, we applied Geodetector to analyze the impacts of four factors that are closely related to the retail industry: economic level, convenience level, market demand, and location. The conclusions are as follows: In the central urban area of Lanzhou, the retail industry exhibits a belt distribution pattern along the Yellow River. The density of distribution gradually decreases from the city center toward the outskirts, forming four prominent agglomeration centers. Overall, within the central urban area of Lanzhou, the spatial distribution of the retail industry at the scale of daily living circles shows that only a small proportion of the industry demonstrates noticeable clustering effects. In terms of spatial patterns, the retail industry at the scale of the daily living circles demonstrates similar characteristics in terms of diversity and agglomeration distribution. It exhibits a decreasing trend from the urban core toward the peripheral areas. The agglomeration distribution pattern of the retail industry in the central urban area of Lanzhou is considerably influenced by market demand, economic level, convenience, and location. The spatial distribution of the retail industry in the central urban area is primarily influenced by economic factors and convenience, while market demand plays a major role and location has a relatively minimal impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12080344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,18]],"date-time":"2023-08-18T09:13:44Z","timestamp":1692350024000},"page":"344","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors on the Retail Industry in the Central Urban Area of Lanzhou City at the Scale of Daily Living Circles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Chenyu","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1420-8603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changbin","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Xin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"292","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apgeog.2012.08.003","article-title":"Retail fragmentation vs. urban livability: Applying ecological methods in urban geography research","volume":"35","author":"Orit","year":"2012","journal-title":"Appl.
