Facility Location and Emergency Management Geographic Information Systems Studies Spatial and Panel Data Analysis

Abstract

An essential location analytic method is GIS, able to support map-based display along with geographic data creation, management, manipulation in addition to functions for suitability evaluation. Location models have proven to be critical as well, with many prominent approaches found in popular GIS software. This paper reviews a class of location models and provides an overview of the methods used to solve these models. This is significant because of the broad use and application of location models in GIS to address important problems and issues facing society. Spatial analytical insights are essential. The implications of models and methods available through GIS are explored, particularly notions of solution quality. Case studies are offered to highlight ease of access to location models in GIS along with observed computational performance.
