Determining The Location Detection on Several Sectors to Support The Business Center: Literature Review

Abstract

Determining a business location is an important aspect in making strategic decisions in various business sectors. In this review, we analyze the location determination of some sectors and the method used, with emphasis on the weighting used in the research reviewed. We collect and review relevant journal articles for different sectors, including business, construction, energy, environment, health, hotel, industry, logistics, military, and transportation. Further, we analyze the methods used in decision-making and provide a better understanding of preferences and relevant criteria and focusing on the weightings applied involves the process of assigning relative weights to the factors that are relevant in determining locations. Most of the sectors in the location determination research are in the Energy sector, and the method used is mostly MCDM with Objective weighting. GIS is used to map geographic data and consider topographical factors, and distances. By leveraging this information, organizations can make more informed, effective, and preference-based location decisions.
