Theoretical Models of Spatial Decision-Making
Theoretical models of spatial decision-making explore how individuals choose locations for activities, services, or resources based on factors like distance, accessibility, and convenience. These models analyze the mental processes and patterns behind decisions such as where to shop, work, or live. They consider influences like travel costs, purpose of the visit, and available options, aiming to predict or explain why certain locations are preferred over others. Overall, they help us understand the thought processes involved in spatial choices and assist in planning for better service placement and urban development.
