GIS Analysis for New Location of Food Related Buildings Near Schools in Tetovo

Abstract

In this paper, we analytically discover the most optimal locations for opening a new food business building near of a given type of school in Tetovo, Republic of North Macedonia. This is accomplished with the analysis of the geographical distribution of the already existing food businesses near the elementary, middle and high schools. Additionally, we conducted an interpolating analysis on the city's area, which was based on the distribution of students in the middle, elementary and high schools. The idea of this project is to offer an ad-hoc solution for accessing information about the closest bus station to each school in the city as well as to show the optimal areas in which investors can safely invest. This feature dramatically decreases the risk of early business failure because the areas are analyzed based on the density of the biggest customer near the schools - the students. Furthermore, competition is fiercer nowadays and hence, we took this factor also in consideration when conducting the analysis. Additional measures are taken into consideration to provide an excellent chance for investment.
