SPATIAL COMPARISON OF RESTAURANT INFORMATION FROM PRIVATE GOURMET INFORMATION WEBSITES AND ECONOMIC CENSUS

The economic census, which is an official statistic, may be used in urban analysis. On the other hand, private gourmet information websites can be used to obtain pinpoint rich restaurant information. However, not all restaurants are necessarily listed on gourmet information sites. Therefore, this study clarified the spatial characteristics of the economic census and gourmet information websites by comparing them spatially. Furthermore, we present a case study of its application to urban analysis and clarify its usefulness.
