Abstract
The absence of an integrated system of settlements providing services and facilities is often cited as a cause of underdevelopment in rural areas. Location-allocation analysis systems provide an explicit framework for diagnosing service accessibility problems, measuring the efficiency of recent locational decisions and the current levels of settlement efficiency, and generating viable alternatives for action by decision makers. Development objectives are realized only when these models are applied within a broader location theory framework in which the often antagonistic behaviors of the many actors are recognized.
