Spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of milk tea stores in Wuhan based on sDNA and OPGD models. by Wentao Yang, Xinrui Zhan, Dinghui Liu, Huade Zhu

“…We then examined the influencing factors by combining spatial design network analysis, optimal parameters-based geographical detection, and location-based service big data. Our results revealed the following: (1) The spatial distribution of stores was concentrated in areas with high closeness and betweenness centrality, forming a multi-core "northwest-southeast" distribution pattern with significant spatial positive correlation. (2) The stores' spatial pattern was influenced by the road network betweenness and the presence of office buildings, shopping malls, shopping centers, and tourism resources. …”
