DESCRIPTION:
Lastly, the book examines designing a system while making multiple simultaneous siting decisions.Each chapter features exercises that enable you to put your new skills and knowledge into practice, solving realistic siting problems. Next, the authors explore how to use models to analyze existing marketing and distribution systems as well as the siting of a single facility. As you advance through the text, you'll discover optimal solutions for practical, real-life "siting" problems. New integrated approach to site selection makes it easier to find optimal sites Responding to the increasingly complex nature of modern commerc

The book is approachable, well written, contains many diagrams and illustr. Good, but it could be better Adriano A. Carnauba Nice book. It brings a complete view of GIS and site location, including the math. Perhaps, the addition of some cases could increase its value.. BEN LUKONGO said Five Stars. Outstanding!
