Book excerpt: This paper investigates the problem of the optimal location of public facilities. I develop a quantifiable model in which the central planner decides on a location strategy, which includes the geographical location and the capacity of public facilities, while anticipating how individuals and firms will react. The central planner's objective is to maximize aggregate welfare. I calibrate the model to fit the economic and geographic characteristics of the Paris metropolitan area at a 1km x 1km geographic resolution and focus on secondary schools as an example of public facilities. The counterfactual analysis, which compares the optimal and observed location strategy between 2001 and 2015, suggests that adopting the optimal strategy in any year would have increased welfare growth by about 12%. Half of the effect is attributable to improvements in channels other than shorter commutes to the public facility, mostly via lower housing prices and shorter commutes to the workplace. The analysis also reveals that the observed location strategy disproportionately favored short commutes in central locations and led to a mis-allocation of residential and commercial activities between the center and the periphery.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-location involves the intentional siting together of public facilities. Co-location of public facilities is becoming an increasingly common practice, particularly for its perceived benefits of resource savings, increased efficiency and synergy of services, and enhanced sense of community. Such advantages may be especially critical in a location undergoing rapid growth. The ability to plan and manage the process of co-locating public facilities can be very important to the successful, efficient growth of a community. However, there can be significant challenges. Deliberate planning can be problematic in an environment of rapid growth. Co-location may instead be left to opportunity, which does little to maximize overall resource savings or to establish a coherent, long-term policy of co-location. Modeling can also be problematic in a rapidly changing environment. In general, modeling has proven to be limited in terms of serving as a predictive siting tool for public facilities under real-world conditions. There are no one-size-fits-all models for siting facilities, let alone for co-locating them, which is a far more complex endeavor. Thus, a more sustainable approach might be to develop a decision support tool. This research develops a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) to co-locate public facilities in Loudoun County, a rapidly growing county in northern Virginia. The goal of the project is to determine if employing a SDSS based on CommunityViz in ArcGIS 9.2 facilitates successful co-location of public facilities in a dynamic decision-making environment.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive and clearly structured book presents essential information on modern Location Science. The book is divided into three parts: basic concepts, advanced concepts and applications. Written by the most respected specialists in the field and thoroughly reviewed by the editors, it first lays out the fundamental problems in Location Science and provides the reader with basic background information on location theory. Part II covers advanced models and concepts, broadening and expanding on the content presented in Part I. It provides the reader with important tools to help them understand and solve real-world location problems. Part III is dedicated to linking Location Science with other areas like GIS, telecommunications, healthcare, rapid transit networks, districting problems and disaster events, presenting a wide range of applications. This part enables the reader to understand the role of facility location in such areas, as well as to learn how to handle realistic location problems. The book is intended for researchers working on theory and applications involving location problems and models. It is also suitable as a textbook for graduate courses on facility location.
