Abstract

This chapter introduces modern Location Science. It traces the roots of the area and describes the path leading to the full establishment of this research field. It identifies several disciplines having strong links with Location Science and offers examples of areas in which the knowledge accumulated in the field of location has been applied with great success. It describes the purpose and structure of this volume. Finally, it provides suggestions on how to make use of the contents presented in this book, namely for organizing general or specialized location courses targeting different audiences.

Nächstes Kapitel The p-Median Problem

The problem is presented in his famous essay on maxima and minima.

This triangle is referred to by Weber (1909) as the weight triangle.

Node O was called by Launhardt the pole of the locational triangle.

The author is now known to be Andrew Vázsonyi (1916–2003).
