The Location Selection of Land Logistics hubs in Lampang Province
Main Article Content
Abstract
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and The Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) positively make
Lampang Province becomes a possible logistics hub in Northern of Thailand. However, the selection of the logistics hub in Lampang Province still remained unidentifiably. This research aimed to specify the land for logistics hub location by applying the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), which was the applied engineering method for estimating land logistics hubs with Fuzzy environmental condition. In this processes, three alternative selected sectors such as Hang Chat District, Ko Kha District, and Ban Sadej District were generated from literatures. Also, sixteen factors were created from reviewing literatures. Then, AHP weighting was used to calculate the ratings of selected factors. Finally, the researchers applied the Fuzzy TOPSIS method to solve a location selecting problem. The results found that Ko Kha District provides a
suitable area for Northern land logistics hubs.
