Since many real problems comprise multiple objectives, in this book there is more presence of tools from multicriteria decision making and multiple-objective optimization. The section on business applications looks at such problems as locating bank branches, the potential location of a logistics park, sustainable forest management, and layout problems in a hospital, a much more difficult type of problem than mere location problems. The section on public services presents chapters on the design of habitats for wildlife, control of forest fires, the location of intelligent sensors along highways for timely emergency response, locating breast cancer screening centers, an economic analysis for the locations of post offices, and school location. The final section of the book includes chapters on the well-known problem of locating fire stations, a model for the location of sensors for travel time information, the problem of police districting, locations of jails, location of Coast Guard vessels, and, finally, a survey of military applications of location analysis throughout different periods of recent history. 410 0$aInternational Series in Operations Research & Management Science,$x2214-7934 ;$v232 606 $aOperations research 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aRegional and Spatial Economics 606 $aSocial Policy 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aRegional and Spatial Economics. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a338.6042 702 $aEiselt$b Horst A.$f1950-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMarianov$b Vladimir$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298474703321 996 $aApplications of Location Analysis$92519735 997 $aUNINA
