Impacts des mutations du commerce sur la hiérarchie des polarités commerciales, l’exemple de la Belgique

peer reviewed ; Impact of the transformation of trade in the hierarchy of commercial polarities. The Belgian example. Starting with a vast survey of purchasing behaviour in Belgium (concerning 30 000 households), the article analyses how the main Belgian commercial poles are classified in current and semi-current purchases.

peer reviewed ; Impact of the transformation of trade in the hierarchy of commercial polarities. The Belgian example. Starting with a vast survey of purchasing behaviour in Belgium (concerning 30 000 households), the article analyses how the main Belgian commercial poles are classified in current and semi-current purchases. It also manages to understand what lead to changes, for example to the important alterations that occured in the periphery of the biggest urban areas, namely in terms of current purchases. As opposed to what has sometimes been claimed, everything leads to the fact that the hierarchy of poles still exists. It mainly concerns semi-current purchase, however. On the other hand, if it appears that urban centers are still the main trading poles, the classification based on the volume of polarised population points up several shopping centers. This shows then the increasingly important part played by the new planified polarities. ; Au départ d'une vaste enquête sur les comportements d'achat en Belgique (30 000 ménages touchés), l'article analyse le classement des principaux pôles commerçants belges tant au niveau des achats courants que des achats semi-courants. Il tente aussi de comprendre les mutations intervenues, mutations particulièrement importantes en périphérie des plus grandes agglomérations et pour les achats courants. Contrairement à ce qui est parfois affirmé, tout indique le maintien d'une hiérarchie des pôles. Mais celle-ci est surtout manifeste pour les achats semi-courants. Par ailleurs, si les centres urbains restent les principaux pôles de commerce, le classement obtenu sur la base des volumes de population polarisés, intègre plusieurs shopping centers indiquant de la sorte le rôle de plus en plus important joué par les nouvelles polarités planifiées.
