Systematic approaches for retail service location decisions

Text includes handwritten formulas. No pages 18, 92This thesis investigates systems applications to community facility planning by focusing on the use of models in locating retail facilities. This approach was taken because a number of major concepts employed in retail location are directly transferable to most types of urban services where consumers may choose to utilize a number of different locations. A general decision making process for locating retail services is described. Review of the types of information needed by a retail location planner finds that the central issue he faces is estimating the sales volume of a proposed site. The effect of other competing locations, consumer preferences and accessibility make this task difficult without some type of systematic approach. This could be called the classical "problem" of retail location. An extensive search was made of the work of others related to this problem. A number of approaches were found which attempted to represent the interrelated elements of consumers, access, and retailers which constitute a retail system. No dominant theory has been developed in the area; instead, a number of individual lines of inquiry were found with similarities between. Several selected location models are then reviewed in application to specific problems. The major criticism provided focusses on the degree of difficulty model authors have in representing consumer-retailer behavior and the type of information required to support the modelling. It was found that no one type of model can be regarded as superior since each may have been developed for different planning applications which vary in type of retail service and geographic area represented. There are other steps in retail location decision making where further applications of systems approaches may be valuable. These include population and income forecasting for a small area and economic evaluation of location alternatives once gross sales have been estimated. Further development of these areas in conjunction with the retail models described is suggested. Finally, a number of concepts found in various approaches to retail location may have direct benefit in the successful application of planning standards commonly used by architects and urban designers. Insight gained through certain theoretical approaches to retail location imply that increased care should be taken in the derivation and application of meaningful planning standards

Pengaruh Harga, Promosi, Pelayanan, Lokasi, Tata Letak Produk Dan Kelengkapan Produk Terhadap Keputusan Berbelanja (Studi Kasus Pada Konsumen Swalayan Sinar Mas– Kab. Ende-NTT)

This study examines and analyzes the effect of price, promotion, service, location, product layout and product completeness partially or simultaneously on shopping decisions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of price on shopping decisions, promotions on shopping decisions, services on shopping decisions, location on shopping decisions, product layout on shopping decisions, and product completeness on shopping decisions at Sinar Mas supermarket consumers, Kab-Ende- NTT. The sampling technique used was the Accidental Sampling Method with the criteria for students aged 15 to 55 years with a specified number of respondents as many as 99 people. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the research results, partially the price, promotion, service, location, product layout and product completeness simultaneously have a significant effect on shopping decisions. Price, service, location, product layout and product completeness partially have a significant effect on shopping decisions. Promotion partially does not have a significant effect on shopping decisions. Keywords. Price, Promotion, Service, Location, Product Layout, Product Completeness, Shopping Decision

Supporting service discovery, querying and interaction in ubiquitous computing environments.

In this paper, we contend that ubiquitous computing environments will be highly heterogeneous, service rich domains. Moreover, future applications will consequently be required to interact with multiple, specialised service location and interaction protocols simultaneously. We argue that existing service discovery techniques do not provide sufficient support to address the challenges of building applications targeted to these emerging environments. This paper makes a number of contributions. Firstly, using a set of short ubiquitous computing scenarios we identify several key limitations of existing service discovery approaches that reduce their ability to support ubiquitous computing applications. Secondly, we present a detailed analysis of requirements for providing effective support in this domain. Thirdly, we provide the design of a simple extensible meta-service discovery architecture that uses database techniques to unify service discovery protocols and addresses several of our key requirements. Lastly, we examine the lessons learnt through the development of a prototype implementation of our architecture

Adaptive Square-Shaped Trajectory-Based Service Location Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper we propose an adaptive square-shaped trajectory (ASST)-based service location method to ensure load scalability in wireless sensor networks. This first establishes a square-shaped trajectory over the nodes that surround a target point computed by the hash function and any user can access it, using the hash. Both the width and the size of the trajectory are dynamically adjustable, depending on the number of queries made to the service information on the trajectory. The number of sensor nodes on the trajectory varies in proportion to the changing trajectory shape, allowing high loads to be distributed around the hot spot area
