Territory Planning Model Integrating GIS and Supply Chain

Abstract

The territorial redevelopment occupies a very important place in the states because it is not unrelated to their level of development. Also, the redevelopment of territories encompasses several areas: economic, environmental, political, social and logistical. On the other hand, the transport policy is at the crossroads of economic, social, technological and environmental issues. It requires a transversal approach to ensure optimal mobility of citizens and goods. Because of the growth of freight traffic, we are interested in the exchange of physical flows in the hinterlands. This exploratory study has a fivefold purpose. First, we propose to mention some works based on the development of models of the decisional process and we show the multidisciplinary of the problem of territory planning. Second, we clarify the difference between the different types of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. Then, we propose to give a classification by approach for models of territorial decision support systems. Thus, we propose a model to identify the different relationships between the territory, the actors involved in decision-making and the different decisional constraints by integrating logistical constraints. Finally, we suggest a generic approach for the conception and generation of a hybrid model MCA-GIS adopted by all the actors intervening in the process of territorial decision takings, we suggest conceptual modeling of this system and we develop a prototype of our suggested model called LOGIS. By this study, this model meets this issue.
