Development of Manufacturing Facility Location Decision Model Considering Cargo Shipment in Tokyo Metropolitan Area

Kazushi SANO

The purpose of this study is to identify factors for location decision of the manufacturing facilities by location choice model.
The analysis used data from the 4th goods movement survey in Tokyo metropolitan area.
The factor analysis and covariance structure analysis were performed based on the firm intention survey to clarify the location factors from attitude data.

In addition, the model can also elucidate the utility of zone from parameter estimation.
As a result of factor analysis, four factors have important relationships in the model: "Road Accessibility", "Accessibility of trading partners", "Airports and ports accessibility" and "Business resources".
The covariance structure analysis is based on the results of the factor analysis.
The results illustrate consciousness models which depend on the attribute of the office.
The location choice planning employs the multinomial logit model.
By applying the standardized regional mesh, the choice of the model is explicitly contributed by the nearness to the IC and so on.

The accuracy of the model is improved by incorporating the "transportation costs" variable that obtained from shipment data.
Due to the high utility of industrial area that was developed close to the interchange, the demand for factory establishment is expected to arise by the completion of new highway
