Modeling Agricultural Logistics Distribution Center Location Based on ISM

Abstract

Government s in many countries are apply ing themselves to improve life of peasant s, and planning and building agricultural logistics distribution center is key content of New Countryside Construction in china nowadays. This paper uses theories and methods of Interpretative Structure Model (ISM) to discuss and analyze on agricultural logistics distribution center location. The first is to select main factors of modeling agricultural logistics distribution center location. The second is to map the relationship between all location factors with the aid of directional hierarchy graph and adjacency matrix. The third to construct the ISM of agricultural logistics distribution center location. The last is to explain the ISM for providing scientific and reasonable suggestions on the agricultural logistics distribution center location. Compared with urban logistics distribution center location, less research work has been done to agricultural logistics distribution center location , and ISM is seldom applied to study such issues. So, the fruit of research in this paper is a comparatively novel and meaningful work.
