Abstract
Development of Web-SDSS for Business Location Choice in Taipei Track: Business GIS Author(s): Chin-Te Jung, Chih-Hong Sun Motivated by the increasing accessibility of technology, more and more spatial data is being made digitally available. How to extract the valuable knowledge from these large (spatial) databases is becoming increasingly important to businesses as well. It is essential to be able to analyze and utilize these large datasets, convert them into useful knowledge, and transmit them through GIS-enabled instruments and the Internet, conveying the key information to business decision makers effectively and benefiting business entities. In this research, we combine the techniques of GIS, Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS), Spatial Data Mining (SDM), and ArcGIS Server to achieve the following goals: (1) integrate databases from spatial and nonspatial datasets about the locations of businesses in Taipei, Taiwan; (2) combine GIS and SDM analysis to extract the knowledge from the integrated databases; and (3) develop the Web-based SDSS service as the location selection tool for business by using ArcGIS Server.
