“…This domain has only three papers out of the pool of 81 papers reviewed which indicates the need for more research. Two of the three papers focused on retail chain location (Chang, 2014; Chang and Yang, 2015) and the last paper focused on the site selection for a restaurant chain (Chen and Tsai, 2016).…”

“…The results were store size, availability of parking area, store visibility and population growth rate of the vicinity area. An optimization method was used to determine an ideal site selection for a retail chain operation in China (Chang and Yang, 2015) which indicated that the criteria of importance were stream of people, group of stores, location characteristics, store space and rent proportional to sales.…”

“…In this study, the application of site selection in the emerging domains of energy generation (Kumar et al , 2017; Şengül et al , 2015) and logistics (Aguezzoul, 2014; Büyüközkan and Göçer, 2017), as well as more traditional domains such as public services (Aydinoglu et al , 2015; Zhao and Li, 2016) and retail facilities (Chang, 2014; Chang and Yang, 2015) have been critically reviewed.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to perform a systematic review on the application of different multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods in solving the site selection problem across multiple problem domains. The domains are energy generation, logistics, public services and retail facilities. This study aims to answer the following research questions: Which evaluating criteria were used for each site selection problem domain? Which MCDM methods were frequently applied in a particular site selection problem domain? Design/methodology/approach The goals of the systematic review were to identify the evaluating criteria as well as the MCDM method used for each problem domain. A total of 81 recent papers (2014–2018) including 32 papers published in conference proceedings and 49 journal articles from various databases including IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Springer, Taylor and Francis as well as ScienceDirect were evaluated. Findings This study has shown that site selection for energy generation facilities is the most active site selection problem domain, and that the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is the most commonly used MCDM method for site selection. For energy generation, the criteria which were most used were geographical elements, land use, cost and environmental impact. For logistics, frequently used criteria were geographical elements and distance, while for public services population density, supply and demand, geographical layout and cost were the criteria most used. Criteria useful for retail facilities were the size (space) of the store, demographics of the site, the site characteristics and rental of the site (cost). Research limitations/implications This study is limited to reviewing papers which were published in the years 2014–2018 only, and only covers the domains of energy generation, logistics, public services and retail facilities. Practical implications MCDM is a viable tool to be used for solving the site selection problem across the domains of energy generation, logistics, public services and retail facilities. The usage of MCDM continues to be relevant as a complement to machine learning, even as data originating from embedded IoT devices in built environments becomes increasingly Big Data like. Originality/value Previous systematic review studies for MDCM and built environments have either focused on studying the MCDM techniques itself, or have focused on the application of MCDM for site selection in a single problem domain. In this study, a critical review of MCDM techniques used for site selection as well as the critical criteria used during the MCDM process of site selection was performed on four different built environment domains.

“…For several decades, one selection problem concerning retail stores has been focusing on selecting suitable store locations to open [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. To the best of our knowledge, little literature presents any mechanism to decide which stores to close or discusses the effects of closing on the retailer's performance [16][17][18].…”

To operate a successful and growing business, a retail store manager has to make tough decisions about selectively closing underperforming stores. In this paper, we propose using a three-phase multiobjective mechanism to help retail industry practitioners determine which stores to close. In the first phase, a geographic information system (GIS) andk-means clustering algorithm are used to divide all the stores into clusters. In the second phase, stores can be strategically selected according to the requirements of the company and the attributes of the stores. In the third phase, a neighborhood-based multiobjective genetic algorithm (NBMOGA) is utilized to determine which stores to close. To examine the effectiveness of the proposed three-phase mechanism, a variety of experiments are performed, based partly on a real dataset from a stock-list company in Taiwan. Results from the experiments show that the proposed three-phase mechanism can help efficiently decide which store locations to close. In addition, the neighborhood radius has a considerable influence on the results.
