Dataset for "Do Industrial Firms Follow Zoning? Changing Firm Location and the Introduction of Metropolitan Zoning" paper and storymaps.

Data Description:This dataset supports the storymap titled "Do Industrial Firms Follow Zoning? Changing Firm Location and the Introduction of Metropolitan Zoning", which examines the evolution of zoning and firm location in mid-twentieth century Melbourne, Australia. The study demonstrates the role of land-use zoning in shaping the geographic distribution of manufacturing and industrial activities over time.The dataset includes shapefiles and map packages used in the creation of the storymap, which were developed through digital archival mapping. These geospatial data files represent historical zoning boundaries, firm locations, and related land-use patterns in Melbourne during the period studied.To identify firm location, we relied on the historical Sands and McDougall business directories, which were digitised and geocoded by the  Victoria Unearthed project . We used the 1955, 1965 and 1974 directories (the final year of publication).The research and data are part of the Australian Research Council Discovery Project Remaking Post-industrial Plans: Urban Industrial Zoning Past and Future [DP210103690]. The geospatial analysis is linked to the findings published in the 2023 article Do Industrial Firms Follow Zoning? Changing Firm Location and the Introduction of Metropolitan Zoning in Urban Policy and Research, co-authored by Joe Hurley, Carl Grodach, Declan Martin, and Elizabeth Taylor. The StoryMap was produced by Nícolas Guerra-Tão in collaboration with the authors.Data Components:Historical zoning shapefilesFirm location shapefilesMap packages illustrating changes in industrial land-use patternsThe dataset is provided to facilitate further research into the interaction between industrial firm locations and zoning policies in Melbourne and may be useful for urban planning scholars, geographers, and policymakers.

数据描述：本数据集为题为《工业企业是否遵循分区规划（zoning）？企业选址变迁与大都市分区规划的引入》的故事地图提供支撑，该故事地图旨在探究20世纪中期澳大利亚墨尔本的分区规划演变与企业选址规律。此项研究揭示了土地利用分区规划在长期塑造制造业及工业活动地理分布中的作用。

本数据集包含用于制作该故事地图的shapefile文件与map package（地图包），这些文件通过数字档案制图技术开发而成，呈现了研究期间墨尔本的历史分区规划边界、企业选址及相关土地利用模式。为识别企业选址，研究依托于经Victoria Unearthed项目数字化与地理编码处理的Sands and McDougall历史商业目录，具体使用了1955年、1965年及1974年（该目录最后出版年份）的数据。

本研究及数据集隶属于澳大利亚研究委员会探索项目《后工业规划重构：城市工业分区规划的过去与未来》[DP210103690]；相关地理空间分析结果与2023年发表于《Urban Policy and Research》期刊的论文《工业企业是否遵循分区规划？企业选址变迁与大都市分区规划的引入》（由Joe Hurley、Carl Grodach、Declan Martin及Elizabeth Taylor共同撰写）的研究发现相关联。故事地图由Nícolas Guerra-Tão与上述作者合作制作。

数据构成：
- 历史分区规划shapefile文件
- 企业选址shapefile文件
- 展示工业土地利用模式变化的map package

本数据集旨在推动墨尔本工业企业选址与分区规划政策互动关系的深入研究，对城市规划学者、地理学家及政策制定者具有参考价值。
