Abstract
The Spatial Interaction Theory (sit) is one of the most simple and elegant theories of commercial geography. Its simplicity lies mainly in its power to analyse and explain both the consumer spatial behaviour and the localisation patterns of commercial and service units. Moreover, it is possible to formulate the sit in a number of simulation models that can be used to assist entrepreneurs in the locational decision making. This article shows that the sit embraces the arguments of the main theories of commercial and service unit localisation and therefore it turns out to be the main theoretical and operational platform of commercial geography, in terms of spacial planning.
