- Abstract
Consumer satisfaction (CS) analysis has been a major issue in business organizations over the years. It may be modeled as a multicriteria decision problem, although different alternative measurement approaches have been developed. The MUSA + method extends the typical MUSA method which is an ordinal regression method that analyzes CS. It allows managers to conduct a benchmarking analysis among different stores and provides action diagrams to assist in gap analysis. The MUSA + method to the spatial context provides geolocated presentation of the derived results and allows their interpretation based on the local characteristics of the market areas. Geographic Information Systems are well known tools that facilitate capabilities for obtaining, processing, and visualizing spatial related data through maps. In that manner, the term ‘geomarketing’ reflects the combination of the multicriteria consumers analysis and GIS. This paper presents a framework that generates maps in relation to the multi-store CS analysis dimensions. Thus, the analysis is extended to the spatial context aiming to expand the MUSA + analysis capabilities with the power of results mapping generation. The proposed framework is supported by a tool developed in GIS environment to assist its computational part. Initially the process estimates the service areas for every store to establish the spatial boundaries for each one of them. Then the MUSA + method is implemented separately for each consumer group located in a specific service area. The computational tool developed in GIS environment generates mappings of the MUSA + method diagrams. The proposed framework combines MUSA + capabilities to generate CS related indices and GIS capabilities to assist spatial analysis allowing customization of the marketing strategy for multi-store enterprises. In conclusion a case study is illustrated to present the prementioned framework into real world data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Geomarketing is a new interdisciplinary knowledge that has been increasingly used with the development of technology and tools for collecting location data, especially in organizations developed in the geographical area. In fact, GeoMarketing should be considered as a kind of engineering of the neglected element of location in minimizing the uncertainties of marketing policies, so that it has the ability to challenge the traditional models of developing marketing strategies. GeoMarketing should be considered as a scientific and operational strategy in measuring the spatial acceptability of policy feedback before adopting them on the basis of smart maps. The purpose of this article is to examine more closely the capabilities of the development of the Place element on the basis of the GeoMarketing strategy in relation to each elements of marketing mix (price, product and promotion). which by providing a new definition of this topic along with the basic explanation, Implementation steps of Tehran's standard geomarketing project to guide the policies of a business..In this article, by collecting information and processing them in 7 business components, in relation to the extraction of neglected potentials in the development of the branches of a clothing brand, by implementing multi-criteria decision analysis and the weighted average result of collecting the opinions of 11 experts in the field of clothing on the software platform ArcGIS was implemented. In the end, the three areas of Artesh Boulevard, Abshenasan and Shohada Square were identified as areas of potential with pedestrians and left for interpretation. It is obvious that this new topic is in the early stages of its maturity and it is suggested to discover its practical capabilities in other business topics. Extended Abstract Introduction Geomarketing was first proposed as a new marketing method in 1990, and research-oriented articles mention the advantages of including geographic information in marketing methods (Shweta & Rohit, 2023). This method was used over time with the development of technologies related to location calculation, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), even for the banking industry and the development of urban tourism (Sabet et al., 2021). In general, geomarketing is the set of activities in which location information is used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of marketing programs. It is worth noting that this information are extracted from various sources such as GPS; field observations; aerial and satellite images; digital maps; local data; etc. (Shweta & Rohit, 2023). Choosing optimal locations in a store development program is one of the main conditions for the success rate of a store. The problem that was tried to be answered in this research with a scientific and operational solution by the basic implementation of the geomarketing strategy in the branch development program of one of the clothing brands in Tehran. In line with the basic explanation of geomarketing services, the superiority of the element of place for each and every elements of the marketing mix has been elaborated; and then the implementation steps of a geomarketing project were presented in order to find the most productive locations in a store branch development program in Tehran's clothing field. For this purpose, by considering 6 main components in the optimal location selection of store locations in the clothing field, in relation to the collection of spatial data and their processing, a multi-criteria decision-making model was implemented. Then, the processed components were weighted based on the opinion of active experts in this field, and the most potential locations were extracted in the developed model. Research literature The main goal in the new geomarketing strategy is to scientifically consider the neglected element of location in business decisions. Philip Kotler, the father of modern marketing science, was the first to codify the marketing mix concept as it is today under the title of 4P (Perreault & McCarthy 2002); and 7P, 15P, and 44P models were also developed later. Meanwhile, the combination of four elements including location, promotion, price, and product is the main reference of researchers in this field such as Singh (2012). Understanding that every customer is located in a geographical point of the earth having the nature of location is the main key in defining and explaining geomarketing services in each and every elements of marketing mix. In fact, geomarketing should be called the engineering science of location, the result of the intersection of marketing science and geographic information science (GIS). It is obvious that explaining the concept of geomarketing requires examining the services and capabilities that can be provided in each and every marketing mix elements (García et al., 2022). In the following, considering the research articles of Ramadan et al., (2017); Farmanesh et al., (2017); Cliquet & Baray (2020); and Baray & Pelé (2020) to derive a standard mechanism in how to define, collect and process business indicators in a geomarketing project was discussed with a case study on the optimal location of new branches of a clothing brand in Tehran, considering 6 components including household density; financial ability; foot traffic; away from competitors; micro business density; and the accesses were investigated. Research methodology The present research was carried out by implementing the practical steps of geomarketing with the sample of Tehran. After defining the project and assessing the need, determining the information layers determined in the previous stage and taking action to collect and update of the available data was performed by using different tools from different sources. In the preparation phase, the spatial data that was collected from different sources in the previous phase; sometimes in different formats, was integrated; and after cleaning, necessary measures were taken to prepare them in order to implement advanced spatial analysis, which is known as data cleaning and GeoData preparing. GIS Ready, GeoData Referencing, and GeoDatabase Implementation can be mentioned among the measures taken in this stage. In the processing phase, the raw data collected and prepared with the processes required by a project and explained and defined in the analysis phase of the need and definition of the project are upgraded to the maturity level of information. Thermal maps or heatmaps are among the most widely used outputs at this level, which are referred to under the Spatial Analyst analysis collection in the user space of spatial data science software (DANIELE, 2019). In the conducted research, a number of outputs derived from the above analysis on the data collected in Tehran city were mentioned. The household density component taken from the latest census of the Statistics Center, Financial ability component derived from the average rental price of the neighborhoods of Tehran, foot traffic component derived from the implementation of proximity analysis on the data of commercial centers and shopping centers in Tehran, and the distance component from competitors through the collection of the location of more than 1000 store locations of garment area in Tehran city from Google Map data, micro business density component based on more than 36,000 micro businesses registered in Google Map and accesses including the integration of parameters of main roads with maximum impact, secondary roads at the second level of importance, taxi stations, buses, subway and parking lots at the third level of importance, were collected with weights of 40, 35 and 25, respectively. In order to process the six data mentioned in the extraction of high-yield points in the aforementioned store development planning, a specific placement model based on the multi-criteria decision-making algorithm or MCDM was developed based on the Raster Calculator analysis of the Spatial Analyst analysis package in the ArcGIS software space with the obtained weights. In the special integrated model developed in the processing of components in order to implement multi-criteria decision analysis, the blue circles represent the variables (six components and their subsets), and the yellow rectangles represent the processing steps in the data processing, which is implemented in the last part of the decision analysis. Research findings The results of the weights assigned to each of the 6 components acquired from the average expert opinion of 11 people active in the field of clothing were presented in a table. Also, the results of the output in the integrated model indicate the existence of three areas full of neglected potential in the field of clothing in Tehran, including the first area (Artesh Blvd.) between Sohanak and Oshan Boulevard; the second area (Abshenasan highway) between Ashrafi Esfahani and Bakeri highways; and the third area (Shohada Square to Imam Hossein Square). All the above three cases were located in the commercial centers of Tehran city, while in the field surveys, the accumulation of the presence of medium and large shopping centers including Parnian Center, Mahtab, Nakhl, Morvarid and Shemiran Center was only within the determined potential range of the first range. The occurrence of the same issue in the second area, including Qaim, Maryam, Ghadir shopping centers, as well as Goldis, Bahar and Zomorrod shopping centers in the third area shows the high potentials of the clothing field in the proposed areas. Conclusion Managers of any business always make strategic decisions to determine the survival and success of that business. Ignoring each of the different success parameters makes decisions' success faced with challenge. Decision-making algorithms and analyzes in GIS not only consider all the influential parameters in the form of information layers, but also determine and define the impact of each one by the ability to weight each one (Tu Le et al., 2023). In practice, at this level, the intra-organizational, peripheral, and extra-organizational information layers that were prepared and processed in the previous stages were modeled in different scenarios and weight combinations using advanced spatial data science analyzes so that the feedback measurement and spatial acceptability measurement of decisions and policies makes it possible on the basis of the map. In this strategy, it is important to minimize uncertainties by optimally allocating resources to the most productive points in the geography of the market. The uniqueness of geomarketing evolves by integrating functions and spatial analysis in order to solve problems related to the development of local, regional and extra-regional markets with different social, economic and political approaches as the driving force of modern marketing knowledge (Tkhorikov et al., 2020). Marketing mix elements are one of the main topics that are always cited and evaluated in the formulation of marketing strategies (Thabit & Manaf 2018). Location is one of these pillars that, due to the development of information infrastructure and software based on GIS knowledge, is able to provide unique capabilities along with the development of businesses and brands in global markets (Matheus et al., 2020). The authors of the article believe that the absence or lack of standard location data has made it difficult to refer to the achievements and outputs of geomarketing in practice. In this article, by explaining a comprehensive definition, it was tried to investigate the geomarketing solutions that can be presented in each of the elements of the marketing mix, and its applications were introduced by determining the implementation steps with reference to Tehran's business data. It is suggested that case studies on the implementation of the services of this strategy to be implemented in other business areas such as restaurants, banking industry and broadcasting industry by the researchers of this field, and geomarketing services investigated specifically for each of the elements of the marketing mix based on real business data.

This paper aims to investigate the spatial price dispersion and estimate the price determinants of a homogeneous product sold by marketing channels in the industrial automation market in the south of Germany. Empirical studies reveal that different prices are charged for the same homogeneous products, which shows a clear deviation from the law of one price. Understanding the key determinants of the prices charged by the marketing channels enables manufacturers to design appropriate channel selection criteria with regional differentiation and to improve their existing channel performance management. This research proposes a new geomarketing approach that combines spatial and hedonic price modeling by using deep learning. Since ANN models are often perceived as a “black box”, this paper demonstrates a technique for extracting knowledge from an ANN to leverage the market intelligence. This study reveals the causal relationships between the explanatory variables and the price within the ANN model. The results indicate that deep learning models provide higher accuracy in modeling the price and its determinants compared to statistical models. However, the econometric model GWR enables detecting the geographical variation, also called spatial heterogeneity, among the retained variables to explain the patterns of price, especially their volatility across space.

- Abstract
The present study aims to compare and integrate the location selection criteria and indicators of chain stores from the perspective of customers and retail industry experts with a geomarketing approach. The analytical method applied in the experts’ section was a combination of fuzzy Delphi technique and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and in the customer section, a combination of KMO index and Bartlett test in Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Friedman classification test with SPSS software was utilized. The statistical population includes experts and customers of the retail industry in Tehran. In this study, firstly, both the need to address the issue of optimal location of retail stores as well as the necessity of locating these centers were explained. In the next section, the most significant criteria and indicators of retail stores location selection were identified and ranked from the perspective of experts and customers. In the next step, comparison and integration between the criteria and indicators of chain stores location selection from the perspective of customers and experts were performed. Finally, a comprehensive model of Integrating location selection indicators from the perspective of customers and experts using structural equation modeling with Smart PLS software was presented. The Results suggest that the main factors affecting the optimal location of retail stores include: ease of access to the store; spatial and physical characteristics of the store; population structure, business district and customers characteristics; competition conditions; economic factors of customers; market attractiveness; performance indicators; determining the cost of store/ economic factor; attraction of place for a store; and saturation level. At the end, it can be mentioned that macro-level research findings provides a framework for the optimal location selection of retail stores with a geomarketing approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The spatial organization of stores plays a crucial role in the production and development of the urban form while, at the same time, being strongly influenced from the physical constraints of the latter. Yet the connection between retail distribution and the physical form of cities remains underexplored. This paper aims to unify the perspectives of two distinct disciplines-retail geography and urban morphology-rooted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Retail geography, tracing its origins to classical works in American and German regional economics, and urban morphology, emerging from the convergence of architectural and geographical schools in England, Italy and France, have evolved independently since the late '60s. This paper reviews their development, highlighting theoretical and empirical studies elucidating the interrelationship between retail distribution and urban form. While both disciplines acknowledge the mutual influence of retail and cities' they have progressed independently, with retail geography focusing on the evolution of the retail sector and urban morphology emphasizing the impact of physical form on socioeconomic functions. Identifying common ground, this paper underscores spatial affinities and organizational aspects often overlooked. The paper concludes by encouraging a unified understanding, recognizing the potential for a more nuanced comprehension of the intricate dynamics between retail distribution and the physical features of cities. This approach paves the way for future interdisciplinary research, fostering collaboration in unravelling the complexities that shape urban environments., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

"Which Place?" All places, far and near, large, and small, highly developed or on a development path, are looking for the best solutions and practices to fulfil the needs and ambitions of their internal and external stakeholders. Place branding is an approach that supports places in these efforts, strategically and interactively. As Kavaratzis and Florek (2021) claim, “in the near future, the global place branding scholarly community will need to address a series of challenges and questions that remain unsolved and unanswered, with implications for both the theory and the practice” (p.28). At the same time, scholars and practitioners need to consider the regional and local dissimilarities. The Brazilian perspectives, possibilities, and conditions are no exception.This first edition advances the understanding of this boundless, imperative, and interdisciplinary field of knowledge. We are grateful to the Brazilian Journal of Marketing editorial team, all the authors and reviewers who have contributed to this Special Issue on place branding (Appendix I. Thank-You Note).Contextually, according to an international literature analysis of the geographical locations stated in the articles on place branding, covering 2014-2018, Europe is the dominant area in the studies, followed by Asia and North America that have also attracted significant attention from scholars (Lu et al. 2020). In South America, specifically in Brazil, academic publications on marca de lugar (place brand), gestão de marketing de marca de lugar (place marketing) and gestão de marca de lugar (place branding) are still scarce. Hence there is an urgent need to properly understand the place branding phenomena and disseminate knowledge of it which is often overtaken by practice, causing all sorts of problems and disappointments. Without a solid scientific base, place branding will become and remain merely a response-based tactic.Therefore, in this Special Issue, we would like to highlight the potential of scientific achievements of academics in Brazil, and to advance the discussion among Brazilian researchers and practitioners. As revealed by Artêncio, Mariutti and Giraldi (2020), a thematic panorama of academic-scientific nature concerns works presented at the main Brazilian Administration conferences: SemeAD, EnANPAD (Marketing Division), and EMA for the last twenty years (1999-2019). With a total of 5,706 studies, only 18 articles address some issues related to place branding or marketing, with the focus mainly on the country level (14), and a few on cities (2) and regions (2). Based on the review of studies’ titles, the abstracts, and the keywords identified in the conferences’ annals, only three works were identified as revolving around a conceptual designation of place marketing, on presented in SemeAD 2016 and at one EMA 2018; and one of place branding presented at EMA 2018. Notably, the studies are specific to some aspect of place brand (place of origin, identity, image, reputation, and culture to name a few).In view of this scientific portrait, several conclusions can be drawn.Firstly, in Brazil research at the national level, place branding studies are certainly evolving. And it needs such a national insertion since the place brand can be used as an instrument in strategic spatial planning to support a structural change in places by contributing to the improvement of the economic and social structure of places and reshaping responses to contemporary challenges faced by the places. Regarding the brand positioning or brand management of a place, a space or territory is not an absolute concept, it is always related to a sphere of social-human application or economic-political structure, which is potentially developed through processes – possibly contested – of producing, maintaining, and assigning meaningful spaces, reinforces Warnaby (2018).Secondly, there is a need of theoretical and empirical development of the concepts of place brand, place marketing and place branding, not only based on studies on Brazilian cities, states (counties), and regions, but also on other places in the country like airports, avenues, beaches, city squares, industrial and other clusters, museums, parks, theatres, etc. Since diverse locus is recognized in a large country like Brazil, providing research questions about the spatiality in marketing literature is key as emphasized by Giovanardi and Lucarelli (2018), Oliveira (2015), and Warnaby (2018).Thirdly ontological and epistemological advancement of research areas within place branding is necessary to provoke reflections and directions for theoretical advancement, particularly in Brazilian research groups. As Govers (2021) claims, “The funding agencies and governments that appreciate that place branding is of strategic, long-term, and crucial importance are, unfortunately, in a tiny minority” (p.338). With this in mind, we hope to draw attention of Brazilian universities, researchers, and policy makers to the importance and relevance of place branding. Thus, “Place branding has been used to foster economic restructuring, social inclusion and cohesion, political engagement and participation, place identification, and the general well-being of citizens”, states Oliveira (2015, p.18).Stakeholders per se, who are co-creators in the place branding process (Kalandides, Kavaratzis, Boisen, 2012; Mariutti Giraldi, 2021) should be involved in the management of public and/or private places, strategically aligned with place branding activities to enhance the value of a place (Mariutti Giraldi, 2021). Tracing the scope of research along this path establish connections between practice and theory and offers insight into the future directions for specific places, hidden or forgotten in Brazil.To address the above contexts together with the Brazilian academic setting, we report that 27 papers were submitted during the six-pandemic months (February to August 2021); they were carefully reviewed and analysed. Also, the best studies selected by the track leaders from the Place Branding Track at the Marketing Meeting - EMA 2021 (by Fabiana Mariutti and Mihalis Kavaratzis) and at the EnANPAD Conference 2021 (by Fabiana Mariutti and João Freire) were invited for submission in the regular evaluation process by Brazilian Journal of Marketing. Both conferences are organized by ANPAD – the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Administration). For the first time, a place branding track took place at Brazilian conferences. Hence, based on the reviewers’ evaluations and research domain comprehension, decisions were taken by the journal’s guest editors and editors-in-chief. Finally, nine manuscripts were chosen for publication.Robust contributions emerged from this pioneer collection. The following systematically chosen papers illustrate some frameworks and insights for place branding research to be conceivably enhanced in national literature.The Issue starts with a paper by Carniello and dos Santos who analyse branding as a territorial development strategy, discussing the convergence between city branding and a municipality master plan in the case of São Paulo city. Convergence has been identified between the pillars of the brand and the contents of the master plan, especially the communication as a key element for the social and management propositions. A strategic perspective of place branding is therefore postulated using a qualitative approach, with documental design.The subsequent paper, by Kamlot and Santos Vieira de Jesus, discusses the core of branding process, mainly, city brand identity. The article contributes to the exploration of the physical and symbolic dimensions of Rio de Janeiro’s brand identity and to detailed interpretation thereof, considering the city’s recent evolution. Adopting qualitative method to document analysis, the dataset was combined by research papers, e-mails, newsletters, companies and government reports, newspaper articles etc. This study provides important advice on how to design public policies based on the understanding of a city's identity.The next paper analyses the feelings accompanying content generated by users on Instagram, expressed in hashtags linked to the Pernambuco brand (capital of Recife State). Results of this mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) research into Lima, Pessanha, Araújo, Alves, and Cesário suggest that studies using sentiment analysis of user content in social networks can be used by public managers to understand residents, tourists, and potential visitors’ behaviour through action research, preparing and better adapting the city.Beck and Ferasso in turn, analyse the reflection of brand identity, namely the image of cities. In this study, a systematic literature review was used to analyse the content of literature about urban image in the context of Southern Common Market (MERCOSUL). The paper demonstrates that the urban image management can lead to how cities can overcome socio-economic disparities, well-deploying an efficient project of urban image in order to foster a prosperous urban development.Monte, Pompeu, and Holanda describe an interesting thematic-exploratory qualitative approach to a forgotten property – corporate museum – as a business and cultural space which influences the image of a place. The authors trust that the corporate museums an important cultural asset in promoting the place brand, yet they claim that these museums belong not only to the company but also to the city, region, and country where it is located, attracting tourists and investors, and fostering a sense of belonging among the residents. The study, which was presented at the Place Branding Track at EMA 2021, demonstrates an explanatory and theoretical model of how a place brand (city, region, or country) can be boosted by means of a corporate museum. Another business standpoint was taken by Munaier, Rocha, and Portes as they investigated the impact of the business headquarters location of a physical education service provider on the clients' brand trust. Social exchange theory and brand trust were theoretical foundations for the hypotheses of this quantitative study using multivariate statistical techniques. By realizing that the headquarters location influences the clients' brand trust, the authors suggest that the choice of a location is a complex process that companies should manage carefully; at the same time, places can use these relations for branding purposes.The measurement issues of the place branding process are discussed by Cunha, Luce, and Rovedder; they have developed and tested the stakeholder-based place brand equity (SBPBE) measure of the Vale dos Vinhedos, a wine region in Southern Brazil. Based on this quantitative research results from the respondents’ profiles, the authors demonstrate that the more people’s displacements and activities in a place, the more positive their evaluation of the place brand equity tends to be. The outcomes of this research, which was presented at the Place Branding Track at EnANPAD 2021, support a measurement proposition to evaluate these multiple stakeholders on place brand equity based on behavioural data. The last two papers discuss the research recommendations and directions for future developments in the place branding research domain.Based on a systematic literature review using Methodi Ordinatio, Campos, Galina, and Giraldi establish the guidelines for cross-disciplinary future research into soft power, analysing its intertwinement with creative industries and place branding. After adopting the content analysis with oblique approach, it was identified six relevant areas with short description and oblique references in their substantial research: psycho-sociology, labour mobility, urban planning, arts diplomacy, gastro-diplomacy, and geographical indications. It is demonstrated how soft power and place branding reveals an explicit relationship with each other theoretically, strategically, and politically.Ocke and Platt put forward an inviting research agenda providing some advice for scholars, branding practitioners, and marketers taking place from the brand management scope – identity, image, and reputation of a place. By adopting bibliographic material, under a nation branding overview with its economic, political, and cultural-critical orientations, significant proposals for Brazil are suggested to effectively manage place brands, including: (i) appointment of a formal body to coordinate the actions and actors recognizing the role of stakeholders in the decision-making stages; (ii) cooperation between governors and leaders to achieve common goals under a unique umbrella branding program that benefit different sectors of the economy; (iii) the conquer of market opportunities by competitive identity assets such as the green place brand orientation; and (iv) application of integrated methods to measure and evaluate the results of place branding efforts.With this Special Issue, entitled “Which place? The Future Pathways of Place Branding”, we hope to encourage actions and stimulate a debate on how place branding can effectively make Brazilian places improved and how the knowledge offered by the academic community can prepare any type of places for the forthcoming challenges. “What comes next?” In consideration of the future role of place branding in Brazil, our recommendations for future studies highlight themes regarding the current status quo of the country, the post-pandemic times, the human re-integration into places, and, indeed, sustainability issues. Research into place branding requires additional integration of disciplines, international partnerships research groups, professional interchanges, public-private initiatives, clusters mapping, geomarketing analysis, and more sophisticated methods of critical appraisal along with well-established instigating research problems.Appendix IThank-You NoteWe appreciated the endless support by the Editor in Chief Prof. Dr. Julio Carneiro da Cunha.We are grateful to following Reviewers, who neatly contributed to our special call: Dr. Antônio Azevedo - Universidade do Minho, PortugalDra.

Todos os lugares, distantes e próximos, grandes e pequenos, desenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento, estão procurando as melhores soluções e práticas para atender às necessidades e ambições de seus stakeholders internos e externos. Place branding é uma abordagem que apoia os lugares nesses esforços, estrategicamente e de forma interativa. Como Kavaratzis e Florek (2021) afirmam, “no futuro próximo, a comunidade acadêmica global de gestão de marca de lugar precisará abordar uma série de desafios e questões que permanecem sem solução e sem resposta, com implicações tanto para a teoria quanto para a prática” (p. 28). Ao mesmo tempo, acadêmicos e profissionais precisam considerar as diferenças regionais e locais. As perspectivas, possibilidades e condições brasileiras não são exceção.Esta primeira edição avança na compreensão deste campo de conhecimento ilimitado, imperativo e interdisciplinar. Agradecemos à equipe editorial do Brazilian Journal of Marketing, a todos os autores e revisores que contribuíram para esta edição especial sobre gestão de marca de lugar (Apêndice I. Nota de Agradecimento).Contextualmente, de acordo com uma análise da literatura internacional das localizações geográficas encontradas nos artigos sobre place branding, entre 2014 e 2018, a Europa é a área dominante nos estudos, seguida pela Ásia e América do Norte que também têm atraído significativa atenção dos estudiosos (Lu et al. 2020). Na América do Sul, especificamente no Brasil, as publicações acadêmicas sobre marca de lugar (place brand), gestão de marketing de marca de lugar (place marketing) e gestão de marca de lugar (place branding) ainda são escassas. Daí a necessidade urgente de compreender adequadamente os fenômenos de gestão de marca de lugar e de difundir o seu conhecimento que muitas vezes é ultrapassado pela prática, causando todos os tipos de problemas e decepções. Sem uma base científica sólida, o place branding se tornará e continuará sendo apenas uma tática baseada em resposta.Portanto, nesta Edição Especial, gostaríamos de destacar o potencial das realizações científicas dos acadêmicos no Brasil e avançar na discussão entre pesquisadores e profissionais brasileiros. Conforme estudado por Artêncio, Mariutti e Giraldi (2020), um panorama temático de cunho acadêmico-científico averiguou os trabalhos apresentados nos principais congressos brasileiros de Administração: SemeAD, EnANPAD (Divisão de Marketing) e EMA nos últimos vinte anos (1999-2019). Com um total de 5.706 estudos, apenas 18 artigos abordam algumas questões relacionadas à gestão de marca de lugar ou gestão de marketing de marca de lugar, com foco principalmente em nível de país (14), e alguns em cidades (2) e regiões (2). Com base na análise dos títulos desses estudos, dos resumos e das palavras-chave identificadas nos anais dos congressos, apenas três trabalhos foram identificados como alinhado à uma designação conceitual de marketing de lugares, apresentados no SemeAD 2016 e no EMA 2018; e um trabalho de gestão de marca de lugar apresentado no EMA 2018. Notavelmente, os estudos são específicos para alguns aspectos da place brand (local de origem, identidade, imagem, reputação e cultura, para citar alguns).Diante desse retrato científico, conclusões apontadas podem ser complementadas.Em primeiro lugar, nas pesquisas realizadas no Brasil em nível nacional, os estudos de place branding certamente estão evoluindo. E precisam de tal inserção nacional, uma vez que a marca de lugar pode ser usada como um instrumento no planejamento espacial estratégico para apoiar uma mudança estrutural nos lugares por contribuir para a melhoria da estrutura econômica e social dos lugares e remodelar as respostas aos desafios contemporâneos enfrentados pelos lugares. Referente ao posicionamento de marca ou gestão da marca de um lugar, um espaço ou território não é um conceito absoluto, está sempre relativo a uma esfera de aplicação social-humana ou estrutura econômica-política, o qual se desenvolve potencialmente por meio de processos – possivelmente contestados – para produzir, manter e atribuir espaços com significado, reforça Warnaby (2018).Em segundo lugar, há a necessidade de desenvolvimento teórico e empírico dos conceitos de marca de lugar, gestão de marketing de marca de lugar, e gestão de marca de lugar, não apenas com base em estudos sobre cidades, estados e regiões brasileiras, mas também em outros lugares do país como aeroportos, aglomerados industriais, avenidas, parques, praias, praças, museus, teatros etc. Como a diversidade de locus é reconhecida em um país extenso como o Brasil, é fundamental fornecer perguntas de pesquisa sobre a espacialidade existente na literatura de marketing, como enfatizam Giovanardi e Lucarelli (2018), Oliveira (2015) e Warnaby (2018).Em terceiro lugar, o avanço ontológico e epistemológico das linhas de pesquisa em place branding é necessário para provocar reflexões e direcionamentos para o avanço teórico, particularmente nos grupos de pesquisa brasileiros. Como Govers (2021) afirma, “as agências de financiamento e governos que valorizam que a gestão de marca de lugar seja de importância estratégica, de longo prazo e crucial são, infelizmente, uma pequena minoria” (p.338). Com isso em mente, esperamos chamar a atenção de universidades, pesquisadores e gestores de políticas públicas brasileiras para a importância e relevância da gestão de marca de lugares. Afinal, “A marca de lugar tem sido usada para promover a reestruturação econômica, a inclusão e coesão social, o engajamento e a participação política, a identificação do lugar e o bem-estar geral dos cidadãos”, expõe Oliveira (2015, p.18).Os stakeholders per se, que são cocriadores no processo de gestão de marca de lugar (Kalandides, Kavaratzis, Boisen, 2012; Mariutti Giraldi, 2021) precisam estar envolvidos na gestão de locais públicos e/ou privados, estrategicamente alinhados com as atividades de gestão de marca de lugar para aumentar o valor de um lugar (Mariutti Giraldi, 2021). Traçar o escopo da pesquisa ao longo desse caminho estabelece conexões entre prática e teoria e oferece insights sobre os vindouros rumos para lugares peculiares, escondidos ou esquecidos no Brasil.Para abordar os contextos acima em conjunto com o cenário acadêmico brasileiro, compartilhamos que 27 trabalhos foram submetidos durante os seis meses de pandemia (fevereiro a agosto de 2021); eles foram cuidadosamente revisados e analisados. Além disso, os melhores estudos selecionados pelos líderes de tema de ‘Gestão de Marca de Lugar’ no Encontro de Marketing - EMA 2021 (por Fabiana Mariutti e Mihalis Kavaratzis) e no EnANPAD 2021 (por Fabiana Mariutti e João Freire) foram convidados para submissão no processo de avaliação regular pela Revista Brasileira de Marketing. Ambas os congressos são organizados pela ANPAD – Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração). Pela primeira vez no Brasil, uma trilha acadêmica de place branding aconteceu em congressos brasileiros. Portanto, com base nas avaliações dos revisores e na compreensão do domínio da linha de pesquisa, as decisões foram tomadas pelos editores convidados e editores-chefes da revista. Por fim, foram escolhidos nove manuscritos para publicação.Contribuições robustas emergiram desta coletânea pioneira. Os seguintes artigos sistematicamente escolhidos ilustram algumas arcabouços e insights para a pesquisa sobre gestão de marca de lugar ser concebivelmente aprimorada na literatura nacional.A edição começa com um artigo de Carniello e dos Santos que analisam o branding como estratégia de desenvolvimento territorial, discutindo a convergência entre o city branding e um plano diretor municipal no caso da cidade de São Paulo. Foi identificada uma convergência entre os pilares da marca e os conteúdos do plano diretor, especialmente a comunicação como elemento-chave para as proposições sociais e de gestão. Postula-se, assim, uma perspectiva estratégica de place branding com uma abordagem qualitativa, com design documental.O artigo subsequente, de Kamlot e Santos Vieira de Jesus, discute o cerne do processo de branding, principalmente, a identidade da marca de cidade. O artigo contribui para a exploração das dimensões físicas e simbólicas da identidade da marca do Rio de Janeiro e para a interpretação detalhada do RJ, considerando a evolução recente da cidade. Adota o método qualitativo para análise documental, o conjunto de dados foi combinado por artigos de pesquisa, e-mails, boletins, relatórios de empresas e governos, artigos de jornais etc. Este estudo fornece indicações importantes sobre como delinear políticas públicas a partir da compreensão da identidade de uma cidade.O próximo artigo analisa os sentimentos que acompanham o conteúdo gerado pelos usuários no Instagram, expressos em hashtags vinculadas à marca da cidade de Pernambuco (capital de Recife). Resultados dessa pesquisa mista (qualitativa e quantitativa) de Lima, Pessanha, Araújo, Alves e Cesário sugerem que estudos utilizando análise de sentimento de conteúdo de usuários em redes sociais podem ser utilizados por gestores públicos para entender o comportamento dos moradores, turistas e potenciais visitantes por meio da pesquisa-ação, preparando e adaptando melhor a cidade.Beck e Ferasso, por sua vez, analisam o reflexo da identidade da marca, ou seja, a imagem das cidades. Neste estudo, uma revisão sistemática da literatura foi utilizada para analisar o conteúdo da literatura sobre imagem urbana no contexto do Mercado Comum do Sul (MERCOSUL). O trabalho demonstra que a gestão da imagem urbana mostra como as cidades podem superar as disparidades socioeconômicas, com a implementação de um projeto eficiente de imagem urbana a fim de promover desenvolvimento urbano bem-sucedido.Monte, Pompeu e Holanda descrevem uma interessante abordagem qualitativa temática-exploratória de um lugar esquecido – museu corporativo – como um espaço empresarial e cultural que influencia a imagem de um lugar. Os autores acreditam que os museus corporativos são um importante ativo cultural na promoção da marca do lugar e ainda, que esses museus pertencem não apenas à empresa, mas também à cidade, região e país onde está localizado, atraindo turistas e investidores, fomentando um sentimento de pertencimento entre os moradores. O estudo, que foi apresentado no Place Branding Track no EMA 2021, propõe um modelo explicativo e teórico de como uma marca de lugar (cidade, região ou país) pode ser potencializada por meio de um museu corporativo.Outro ponto de vista empresarial foi adotado por Munaier, Rocha e Portes ao investigarem o impacto da localização da sede comercial de um prestador de serviços em educação física perante a confiança da marca dos clientes. A teoria da troca social e a confiança na marca foram fundamentos teóricos para as hipóteses deste estudo quantitativo usando técnicas estatísticas multivariadas. Ao perceber que a localização da sede influencia a confiança da marca dos clientes, os autores sugerem que a escolha de um local é um processo complexo que as empresas devem gerenciar com cuidado; ao mesmo tempo, os lugares podem usar essas relações para fins de branding.As questões de mensuração do processo de gestão de marca de lugar são discutidas por Cunha, Luce e Rovedder; eles desenvolveram e testaram a medida de valor da marca local baseada em stakeholders (SBPBE) do Vale dos Vinhedos, na região Sul do Brasil. Com base nos resultados dessa pesquisa quantitativa a partir dos perfis dos entrevistados, os autores demonstram que quanto mais movimentos e atividades das pessoas em um local, mais positiva tende a ser sua avaliação do valor da marca do lugar. Os resultados desta pesquisa, apresentada no Place Branding Track no EnANPAD 2021, sustentam uma proposta de mensuração para avaliar esses múltiplos stakeholders sobre o posicionamento da marca com base em dados comportamentais.Os dois últimos artigos indicam as recomendações de estudos e as direções para desenvolvimentos futuros no domínio da pesquisa sobre gestão de marca de lugar.Com base em uma revisão sistemática da literatura, Campos, Galina e Giraldi estabelecem as diretrizes para futuras estudos interdisciplinares sobre soft power, analisando seu alinhamento teórico-prático com indústrias criativas e gestão de marca de lugar. Após a adoção da análise de conteúdo com abordagem teóricas, foram identificadas seis áreas relevantes com breve descrição e referências oblíquas nessa investigação pujante: psicossociologia, mobilidade laboral, planejamento urbano, diplomacia artística, gastrodiplomacia e indicações geográficas. Demonstra-se como o soft power e o place branding revelam uma relação explícita entre si: teoricamente, estrategicamente e politicamente.Ocke e Platt apresentam uma agenda de pesquisa convidativa, fornecendo alguns apontamentos para acadêmicos, profissionais de branding e profissionais de marketing que ocorrem no escopo da gestado de marca – identidade, imagem e reputação de um lugar. Ao adotar material bibliográfico, sob uma visão geral do nation branding com suas orientações econômicas, políticas e cultural-críticas, em que propostas significantes para o Brasil são sugeridas para a gestão eficaz das marcas de lugares, incluindo: (i) nomeação de um órgão formal para coordenar as ações e atores reconhecendo o papel dos stakeholders nas etapas de tomada de decisão; (ii) cooperação entre governadores e líderes para alcançar objetivos comuns sob um programa único de marca guarda-chuva que beneficia diferentes setores da economia; (iii) a conquista de oportunidades de mercado por meio de ativos identitários competitivos, como a orientação da marca green place; e (iv) aplicação de métodos integrados para mensurar e avaliar os resultados dos esforços de place branding.Com esta Edição Especial, intitulada “Qual lugar? Os Caminhos Futuros do Place Branding”, esperamos incentivar ações e estimular um debate sobre como a gestão de marca de lugar pode efetivamente melhorar os lugares brasileiros e como o conhecimento oferecido pela comunidade acadêmica pode preparar qualquer tipo de lugar para os próximos desafios. “O que vem depois?” Considerando o papel promissor da gestão de marca de lugar no Brasil, nossas recomendações para estudos futuros destacam temas relacionados com o atual status quo atual do país, ao momento pós-pandemia, a reintegração humana aos lugares a, ainda, questões de sustentabilidade. Estudos sobre a gestão de marca de lugar requer estudos interdisciplinares adicionais, integração de disciplinas, grupos de pesquisa de parcerias internacionais, intercâmbios profissionais, iniciativas público-privadas, mapeamento de clusters, análises em geomarketing e métodos mais sofisticados para avaliação crítica acompanhados de problemas de pesquisa instigantes bem estabelecidos.Apêndice INota de AgradecimentoNós apreciamos o apoio inesgotável do Editor-Chefe Prof. Dr. Julio Carneiro da Cunha.Somos gratos aos seguintes revisores, que contribuíram de forma organizada para nossa edição especial:Dr. Antônio Azevedo - Universidade do Minho, PortugalDra.

The article presents the result of the author's analysis on the study of the main directions of territory marketing, methods and ways of its implementation. The regulatory and legal framework related to the marketing of the territory, applied on the territory of municipalities of the Moscow region, is considered. It is revealed that the fundamentals of territorial marketing are established by normative legal acts issued by the municipality itself, which implements promotion and attraction programs. The priority directions of marketing of the territory are described, in the Russian Federation as a whole, and in the Moscow region in particular, there is a trend of development of this direction, but there are no identical brands and strategies because each territory works out and implements its strategies that are not identical to others. As a result, there is an increased concentration of service strategies for the development of the territory, where geobranding becomes not paramount. Yielding its role in the conditions of changing the paradigm of socio-economic development of the territory to the socio-infrastructural one. This increases the need to develop master plans as the basis for the service development of territories in the interests of implementing marketing tasks.

The article proposes to use geomarketing as a conceptual and methodological basis for the development of strategies, justification and adoption of business decisions in the field of housing construction. Systematization of geomarketing objects, tasks, and tools, which can be used in development activities in the field of residential real estate construction, as well as in determining the suitability of regional primary housing markets for the implementation of development projects, has been carried out. The possibility of using geomarketing methods and tools by development companies when choosing the future location of housing and selecting areas for development is considered. For the analysis of regional real estate markets in Ukraine using the geomarketing methodology, an approach based on territorial zoning based on a set of indicators characterizing the demographic, economic, social, institutional, and administrative level of development of the respective region is proposed. The evaluation was carried out by means of cluster analysis, as a result, the housing markets of Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions were identified as the most favorable for the implementation of development projects in the primary housing market, Odesa and Kharkiv regions have an average level of favorability, and other regions are characterized by a low level of favorability mainly due to the negative impact of demographic, socio-economic factors. Using the levels of favorable markets for the construction of primary housing proposed in the article will provide the developer with additional tools for decision-making. The proposed toolkit can be used by development companies and other participants in the investment and construction process with a greater degree of detail - the selection of territories at the level of individual cities and districts. , Запропоновано використовувати геомаркетинг у якості концептуальної і методологічної основи для розробки стратегій, обґрунтування та прийняття бізнес-рішень у сфері житлового будівництва.

Tese (doutorado) — Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Humanas, Departamento de Geografia, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia, 2022. Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). A presente tese busca elucidar as dinâmicas inerentes ao surgimento de estruturas espaciais voltadas a atender um público consumidor, criando novas centralidades no espaço urbano. Para elucidar, foi analisado o comportamento de consumo de um grupo, por meio da compreensão dos símbolos e signos valorizados por eles. Compreendeu-se que com o advento da internet, as interações sociais que outrora estavam limitadas geograficamente, tornaram-se presentes em um âmbito virtual, onde elas desempenham o papel que já pertenceu apenas às centralidades urbanas. Esta nova dinâmica gerou centralidades na esfera virtual, onde indivíduos com interesses mútuos se congregam sem a necessidade de estarem no mesmo lugar, nem de interagirem em tempo real e no mesmo idioma. Portanto, foi defendida nesta tese que o virtual ocupa um espaço de centralidade de subgrupos (que não necessariamente estariam próximos) com poder de modificar o espaço geográfico, ao criarem lugares que portam os seus símbolos e significados. Como âncora espacial, foi selecionado o mercado fitness de luxo, por possuir grande presença na esfera virtual, ter capilaridade na malha urbana analisada e apresentar um número sucinto de instalações, o que permitiu o uso de pesquisa in loco durante quatro anos (de 2017 a 2021) para a coleta de dados primários de consumo e uma aprofundada análise dos símbolos e signos de comportamento e consumo para o público-alvo deste segmento de mercado. This thesis seeks to elucidate the dynamics inherent to the emergence of spatial structures aimed at a type of consumer, creating new centralities in the urban space. To elucidate, the consumption behavior of a group was analyzed, through the understanding of the symbols and signs valued by them. It was understood that with the advent of the internet, social interactions that were once geographically limited became present in a virtual environment, where they play the role that once belonged to urban centralities. This new dynamic created centralities in the virtual sphere, where individuals with mutual interests gather together without the need to be in the same place, nor to interact in real time and in the same language. Therefore, it was presented in this thesis that the virtual occupies a space of centrality of subgroups (which would not necessarily be spatially close) with the power to modify the geographic space, by creating places that carry their symbols and meanings. The luxury fitness market was selected as the spatial anchor, as it has a large presence in the virtual sphere, is widely spread in urban places and presents a succinct number of facilities, which allowed the use of on-site research for four years (from 2017 to 2021) for the collection of primary data and an in-depth analysis of the symbols and signs of behavior and consumption for the target audience of this market segment.

Dünyada etkisini gösteren küreselleşme ile birlikte işletmeler rekabet edebilmek için pazarlama stratejilerini geliştirmek zorunda kalmıştır. Gelişen yazılımlar ve coğrafi bilgi sistemlerinin de kullanılmaya başlanması ile işletmelerin daha kolay pazar araştırması yapabilecekleri coğrafi pazarlama yaklaşımı ortaya çıkmıştır. Mekansal problemlerin çözümünde coğrafi bilgi sistemleri kullanımı en etkili yöntemlerden biridir. Coğrafi bilgi sistemleri kullanımı sayesinde coğrafi özellikleri sosyal ve ekonomik verilerle ilişkilendirip analiz etmek perakende ticaretin pazar analizinde büyük ölçüde kolaylık sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada çeşitli alanlarda hizmet veren sektörlere pazarlama aktiviteleri için coğrafi karar destek sağlaması amacıyla geliştirilen Geomarket uygulamasından bahsedilecektir. Ankara ilinin Çankaya ilçesindeki örnek işletmeler üzerinde sırasıyla etki alanı analizi, demografik analizler, kendi işletmelerinin yanında rakip işletmelerin de görülebileceği ilgi çekici noktalar (POI) analizi, işletmenin sokak bazlı ticaret hacmi analizi ve yoğunluk analizi yapılmıştır. Covid-19 pandemisinden en çok etkilenen sektörlerden biri olan perakende ticaret alanları için coğrafi pazarlama araçlarının geliştirilebilmesi, bunların tematik haritalarla gösterilmesi son derece önemli bir konudur. Alışveriş alışkanlıklarının değişmesi ile kişilerin yaptıkları harcamaların sektör ve konum bazlı görebilmesini gerektirmiş bu yüzden de pazarlama aktivitelerinin coğrafi konumlar ile birleştirilip incelenmesini daha da önemli hale getirmiştir. Yapılan analizlerde ise hem demografik veriler hem de POI noktaları ve trafik yoğunluğu da kullanılarak; seçili alandaki rakip firma yoğunluğu, kişi sayısı, hane başına düşen ortalama gelir, o alandaki kişilerin hangi alanlarda ne kadarlık harcama yaptığı gibi sonuçlar verilebilecektir. Bu sonuçlar şubelerin yer seçimindeki kararı almasında kişilerin, kurum ve kuruluşların referans noktası olabilecektir., Businesses have had to develop their marketing strategies to compate other companys with the effect of globalization in the world. A geographical marketing approach has emerged where businesses can conduct market research more easly with the use of developing software technologies and geographic information systems. One of the most effective methods of spatial problem solving is using geographic information systems. Thanks to this method, associating and analyzing geographical features with social and economic data has greatly facilitated the market analysis of retail.In this study, the Geomarket application is mentioned, which was developed to provide geographical decision support for marketing activities to sectors serving in various fields. Çankaya, Ankara district was selected as a study area and implemented respectively catchment analysis, demographic analysis, points of interest (POI) analysis, street-based trade volume analysis, and density analysis in case businesses. Retail trade areas are one of the sectors most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and it is extremely important to develop geographic marketing tools for this sector and visualize them with thematic maps.With the change in shopping habits, it has become necessary for people to see their expenditures on the basis of sector and location, therefore, combining and examining marketing activities with geographical locations has made it even more important. Results show that density of competitors, the average income per household and people’s spending in the selected area with using both demographic data, POI points and traffic density. These results can be the reference of individuals, institutions and organizations in making the decision on the location of the branches.

[ES] En la actualidad, vivimos en un contexto de cambios constantes, los cuales se ven reflejados en la forma de vida de las personas y en la salud de nuestro planeta. Es por ello, que se plantean numerosas propuestas para adaptarse a estos cambios. Este proyecto, trata de estudiar las propuestas existentes, especialmente en el mundo urbanístico. De esta forma, realizando un análisis geoespacial mediante herramientas de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y técnicas de geomarketing, podremos observar a Valencia respecto a una posible ciudad 15 minutos y la situación respecto al marco estratégico de la ciudad. Finalmente, se pretende obtener la situación existente respecto a los indicadores que nos puedan determinar la calidad urbanística de Valencia y de sus distritos y de sus barrios, para poder implementar mejoras y marcar una línea de trabajo en forma de futuras actuaciones en la ciudad., [EN] Currently, we live in a context of constant changes, which are reflected in the way of life of people and in the health of our planet. That is why many proposals are put forward to adapt to these changes. This project tries to study the existing proposals, especially in the urban world. In this way, by performing a geospatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools and geomarketing techniques, we will be able to observe Valencia regarding a possible 15-minute city and the situation regarding to the city's strategic framework. Finally, it is intended to obtain the existing situation about indicators that can determine the urban quality of Valencia and its districts and neighborhoods, in order to implement improvements and establish a line of work regarding future actions in the city., [CA] Actualment, vivim en un context de canvis constants, els quals es veuen reflectits en la forma de vida de les persones i en la salut del nostre planeta. És per això, que es plantegen nombroses propostes per adaptar-se a aquests canvis. Aquest projecte, tracta d'estudiar les propostes existents, especialment al món urbanístic. D'aquesta manera, fent una anàlisi geoespacial mitjançant eines de Sistemes d'Informació Geogràfica (SIG) i tècniques de geomàrqueting, podrem observar València respecte a una possible ciutat 15 minuts i la situació respecte al Marc Estratègic de la Ciutat. Finalment, es pretén obtenir la situació existent respecte a indicadors que ens puguin determinar la qualitat urbanística de València i dels seus districtes i barris, per tal de poder implementar millores i marcar una línia de treball respecte a les futures actuacions a la ciutat.

Maestría en Mercadeo, Facultad de Ciencias Contables, Económicas y Administrativas. El modelo del marketing mix ha permitido recorrer todo el desarrollo de la evolución del Marketing con las 4P´s cuya teoría sigue siendo objeto de discusión en la literatura académica y la práctica empresarial. Si bien es un hecho que el Marketing mix es uno de los pilares de la teoría, no se puede desconocer el desarrollo del entorno empresarial, también son elementos que constituyen el Marketing mix. El discurso digital representa la más reciente de los contextos empresariales y de mayor necesidad de diferenciación del Marketing mix. A lo largo de este evolutivo proceso, los investigadores siempre se han dividido entre los "defensores", que piensan que el paradigma de las 4 P es capaz de adaptarse a los cambios del mercado mediante la inclusión de nuevos elementos dentro de cada "P", y los "exploradores", quienes afirman que el paradigma de las 4 P está obsoleto y propone nuevos arquetipos.
