A Multi-Objective Model for Developing Retail Location Strategies in a DSS Environment

  • Chapter
Recent Developments in Spatial Analysis

Part of the book series: Advances in Spatial Science ((ADVSPATIAL))

Abstract

In developing retail location policies, planners face major uncertainties regarding the questions how the consumer population will develop, where to locate facilities and how consumers and producers will react to new developments. The central aim of spatial decision support system (DSS) is to improve the effectiveness of locational decisions by making data and (analytic) models accessible to decision makers (Densham and Rushton, 1988; Armstrong and Densham, 1990; Densham, 1991). It has been argued on several occasions that recent advances in spatial modelling, information technology and data availability have favoured the cost-benefit ratio of these systems (Bertuglia et al. 1994, Birkin et al. 1996).
