Abstract

This research aimed at selecting a new warehouse location in Chonburi province by applying the geographic information system, multi-criteria decision analysis and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. The results revealed the importance of weight factors for warehouse location selection in descending order as follows: industry density (0.179), warehouse rental income (0.174), land price (0.161), provincial strategy and plan (0.149), transportation route (0.149), utilities (0.139) and labor resources (0.048). The results from the evaluation using the geographic information system indicated that Sriracha District, Chonburi Province is the most appropriate location for a new warehouse.
