Business registers as sources of data in microscale business location analysis

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyze the usability of data from the business registers (REGON and EDG) in the microscale location analysis. The data were used in the study of functional transformation of the main Warsaw shopping streets in years 1996—2010. The article discusses limitations of using such data in the analysis carried out on small sets, indicating methods to overcome or minimize these limitations. The results shows that business registers are relatively reliable source of information about general branch structure of business entities, but their use in quantitative analysis requires corrections, and it should only take place with sufficiently large sets.
