Abstract
This study employed the Gaussian Mixture Model to identify the location evolution and two-dimensional morphology of catering clusters in Shanghai in 2016, 2018 and 2020. We used the two-way fixed model to analyze the relationship between the location and type change of catering clusters and the other five land use types (17 types of POIs). The findings revealed that although restaurants follow the agglomeration mode under the principle of cumulative attraction, it is inconsistent with the rolling diffusion mode of traditional industrial clusters. Large clusters with obvious indigenous scale advantages evolve into more clusters with relative scale advantages and agglomeration forms relying on one or more buildings and spreading along the street. While the former has a more substantial economic contribution, the latter has stronger spatial expansion. The spatial combination of urban ring road expansion and residential land, land for commercial services, land for entertainment, and scenic spots determines the location selection and structural differences of catering clusters. Our findings can help Shanghai alleviate the siphoning effect in the central urban area.
