Flujos de Compra en el Area Comercial de Temuco, Chile

Abstract

Part of the commercialising expense of homes is evaded among some towns and others; this reports is about the existence of purchase flows and trade areas. These are meant to be the geographical extension defined by the consumers' flows from their origin commune to another head commune for some important shopping. The theoretical and empirical study of Temuco's trade area gave the possibility of determining that this city attracts commercialising expense flows of all the communes of the 9th Region and of the bordering communes of the 10th Region in amounts fluctuating between 13 and 90%. Angol, Villarrica and Victoria, commercially resting on Temuco, succeed in attracting expense flows of neighbouring communes, thus becoming heads of a sub-area.
