SA8912 Spatial Technologies in Strategic Planning The course is concerned with the application of spatial technologies (particularly GIS) to strategic planning to address the issues that affect the commercial sector of the economy. The focus is on analysis of retail and service activities from the perspective of both the private and public sector policy makers. Specific issues include: •spatial impact analyses •use of GIS as a corporate management system •site selection and trade area analysis •retail and services network planning •Location-Allocation modeling.

Kamikihara. 2006. Commercial Activity in Canada. Definition of Commercial Activity • private sector activities that provide goods and services directly to consumers. (Retail is part of Trade). • In the SIC system, they include the groups of: – – – – – 4022 (shopping centre developers and offices) 500-599 (wholesale) 600-699 (retail) 700-769 (financial services) 771-780, 911-999 (commercial services) • In the NAICS system, they include the groups of – 44-45 (retail) – 51-56 (business and professional services) – 71, 72 and 81 (consumer services). S.I.C. • SIC stands for “Standard Industrial Classification”. • It is a four-digit code system that identifies the type of economic activity. • similar activities have the same first-two digits. • SIC codes were designated by Stats Can. It was first developed in 1948. Since then, it was revised 3 times: 1960, 1970, and 1980. It should have been revised again in 1990, but the revision was postponed. • Eventually, the SIC system was replace by a new system—NAICS. N.A.I.C.S. • NAICS stands for North America Industrial Classification System. • It is a six-digit code system, developed by the statistics agencies of the U.S., Canada and Mexico to identify types of economic activity. • It was developed in the mid 1990s, and was revised in 2002. – The first 2-digits designate the sector – The 3rd digit designates the sub-sector – The 4th digit designates the industry group – The 5th digit designates industries – The 6th digit designates national industries (used by individual countries). Canada has moved away from an industrial economy towards a service economy Explanations: – Consumers become more affluent in the past 20 years. Demand for goods and services increased. – Household become smaller, more women now take paid jobs outside their homes. People have less time to do things themselves. Instead, they pay for services done by professionals in businesses. – New technology increased levels of automation, which led to reduction of workers in manufacturing. Fewer workers can produce the same amount of consumer goods. As a result, many workers left manufacturing and found employment in commercial activities.

The Changing Distribution System Traditional routes Producers: manufacturers, farmers Distributors (1): importers, wholesalers Contemporary routes Distributors (2): retailers Consumers Factory outlets Warehouse retailers (e.g., Costco) Vertical integration Producers: manufacturers, farmers Distributors (1): importers, wholesalers Distributors (2): retailers Consumers Direct sales Internet sales Impacts of e-tailing • • • • • • • • • • • 365 days of service no restrictions by locations/distance; will re-shape contemporary retail landscape manufactures/suppliers may bypass retailers Small retailers are hit the hardest tax evasion(?) Shopping information is massive, often confusing to navigate on the Internet chances of refund are high a high risk of cyber theft to steal credit card numbers delivery may not be as fast as you go to a local store. not everything has the same level of suitability for sale on the Internet.

The Ice-Cream Vendor Analogy A B A B B A The Roundhouse in Downtown Toronto NOTICE OF MOTION Moved by: Councilor Vaughan Seconded by: Councilor Rae • SUMMARY: • The John Street Roundhouse is an inappropriate location for a big box furniture retailer; the site is nestled among the City’s top tourist attractions, including the CN Tower, the Rogers Centre and the waterfront. • • This is a spectacular heritage building with amazing potential to add to Toronto’s growing list of museums. Residents of the City support this historical asset becoming a train museum. In addition to drawing local and international visitors, a museum would serve to recognize an important time in the history of the country and this City. RECOMMENDATIONS: • That the City of Toronto and State stay any further negotiation or completion of agreements until October 2007. • That staff from the Economic Development, Culture and Tourism and Facilities and Real Estate Divisions review the Steam Whistle proposal and business plan for the renovation of the remaining 18 bays of the Roundhouse, as well as the development of a Rail Museum and other associated activities, and report back to the Government Management Committee in September 2007.
