This book presents essential information on modern location science - in a word, all you need to know about location. The second edition of this handbook has been fully revised throughout, with numerous updates and chapters added, to offer an even more comprehensive overview of methods and applications.

The book is divided into three parts: basic concepts, advanced concepts and applications. Written by the most respected specialists in the field and thoroughly reviewed by the editors, it first lays out the fundamental problems in location science and provides readers with basic background information on location theory. Part II covers advanced models and concepts, broadening and expanding on the content presented in Part I. It also discusses important tools to help readers grasp and solve real-world location problems. Part III focuses on the links between location science and other areas like GIS, telecommunications, healthcare, rapid transit networks, districting problems and disaster events, and presents a wide range of applications to allow readers to understand the role of facility location in such areas and learn how to handle real-world location problems.

The book is intended for researchers working on theory and applications involving location problems and models. It is also suitable as a textbook for graduate courses on facility location.

Industry Reviews

"This book, consisting of 26 chapters, studies in great detail optimization problems relating to location science. ... A large number of variants, including the associated mathematical models, are presented in each chapter and solution algorithms or implementation details are outlined as needed. Each chapter of this very interesting book is largely self-contained and includes its own review of the literature, concluding remarks and list of references." (Efstratios Rappos, zbMATH 1512.90002, 2023)
