Title: Forecasts and environmental decisionmaking: The content and predictive accuracy of environmental impact statements
Abstract: Our background is the investment when opening a retail business in a regulated market, such as the pharmaceutical sector in Spain, which involves many risks caused by external factors that hinder the choice of a new-business location process. To study this phenomenon, we optimized the choice of the location of a retail site in a regulated market via a methodology that entailed a combination of analytical methods of spatial geometry with geographic information systems (GIS) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) multicriteria decision method. The integration of both methods shows great efficiency in the measurement of spatial reality in detail and its influence on decision-making in retail businesses. The study, conducted in Seville (Spain), showed how legal restrictions for the location of a new pharmacy greatly hindered the possibility of success for new retail businesses. However, by implementing both methods, we discovered a series of suitable spaces, which were assigned a score based on several criteria. The combination of GIS methods and AHP multicriteria decision method can be used to reduce the risk of opening a new retail business in a regulated market with space restrictions.我们的背景是在受管制市场(如西班牙的制药行业)开设零售业务时进行投资,会面临许多外部因素带来的风险,这妨碍了我们对新业务地点的选择流程。为了研究这一现象,我们通过一种方法对受管制市场中零售地点的选择进行了优化,这种方法需要将含地理信息系统(GIS)的空间几何分析方法与层次分析过程(AHP)多准则决策法结合起来。两种方法的整合在对现实空间的详细测量中效率很高,并对零售业务的决策产生影响。在塞维利亚(西班牙)进行的这项研究表明,对新药店位置的法律限制,极大地阻碍了新零售企业获得成功的可能性。然而,通过运用这两种方法,我们发现了一系列合适的空间,这些空间是根据几个标准得到分数的。 GIS 法和 AHP 多准则决策法的结合可用于降低在具有空间限制的受管制市场中开设新零售业务的风险。
