{"title":"A Taxonomy Proposal on Criterion Structure for Evaluating Freight Village Concepts in Early-Stage Design Projects","authors":"R\u0131za G\u00fcrhan Korkut, Metin \u00c7elik, S\u00fcleyman \u00d6zkaynak","volume":139,"journal":"International Journal of Transport and Vehicle Engineering","pagesStart":760,"pagesEnd":765,"ISSN":"1307-6892","URL":"https:\/\/publications.waset.org\/pdf\/10009296","abstract":"The early-stage design and development projects for the freight village initiatives require a comprehensive analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data. Considering the literature review on structural and operational management requirements, this study proposed an original taxonomy on criterion structure to assess freight village conceptualization. The potential challenges and uncertainties of the developed taxonomy are extended. Besides requirement analysis, this study is also expected to contribute to forthcoming research on benchmarking of freight villages in different regions. The methodology used in this research is a systematic review on several articles as per their modelling approaches, sustainability, entities and decisions made together with the uncertainties and features of their models taken into consideration. The major findings of the study that are the categories for assessing the projects attributes on their environmental, socio-economical, accessibility and location aspects.","references":"[1]\tLudwik Konratowicz, \u201cPlanning of Logistics Centers\u201d, Maritime Institute of Gdansk, 2015.\r\n[2]\tEren \u00d6zceylan, Mehmer Erba\u015f, Mert Tolon, Mehmet Kabak, Temel Turgut, \u201cEvaluation of freight villages: A GIS based multi-criteria decision analysis\u201d, Elsevier, Science Direct, 2015.\r\n[3]\tElichi Taniguchi, Michihiko Noritake, Tadashi Yamada, Toru Izumitani, \u201cOptimal Size and Location Planning of Public Logistics Terminals\u201d, Elsevier, Science Direct, 1999.\r\n[4]\tSamir Awad-Nunez, Nicoletta Gonzalez-Cancelas, Francisco Soler-Flores, Alberto Camarero-Orive, \u201cHow should the sustainability of the location of dry ports be measured?\u201d, Elsevier, Science Direct, 2016.\r\n[5]\tSamir Awad-Nunez, Nicoletta Gonzalez-Cancelas, Francisco Soler-Flores, Alberto Camarero-Orive, \u201cApplication of a model based on the use of DELPHI methodology and Multicriteria Analysis for the assessment of the quality of the Spanish Dry Ports Location\u201d, Elsevier, Science Direct, 2014.\r\n[6]\tLam Canh Nguyen, Theo Notteboom, \u201cA Multi-Criteria Approach to Dry Port Location in Developing Economies at Vietnam\u201d, The Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics, Elsevier, 2016.\r\n[7]\tBahad\u0131r Fatih Yildirim, Emrah \u00d6nder, \u201cEvaluating Potential Freight Villages in Istanbul Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques\u201d, Journal of Logistics Management, 2014.\r\n[8]\tSamir Awad-Nunez, Nicoletta Gonzalez-Cancelasa, Francisco Soler-Flores, Alberto Camarero-Orive, \u201cA methodology for measuring sustainability of Dry Ports Location based on Bayesian Networks and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis\u201d, Transportation Research Procedia, Elsevier, Science Direct, 2015.\r\n[9]\tSonal Sindhu, Vijay Nehra, Sunil Luthra, \u201cInvestigation of feasibility study of solar farms deployment using hybrid AHP-TOPSIS analysis: Case study of India\u201d, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Elsevier, Science Direct, 2017.\r\n[10]\tMichael A.
