Abstract
Location Analysis and Gravity Model. Case Study Pharmacies Track: Business GIS Author(s): Frauke Schaller Due to changes in the European pharmamarket, location analysis for pharmacies is more important than ever. Therefore GIS analysis was needed. To estimate the location quality, a gravity model has been developed. As the pharmacy density in Germany is very high, data at street level has been used to calculate each pharmacy's potential. In Germany there are 22.000 pharmacies, so the analysis was a real challenge, especially data handling and analysis methods.
