Abstract |
Numbers of cattle farms have been increasing throughout the production regions. The aim of this paper is to investigate appropriate locations of regional food distribution centers in Northeast Thailand for distributing feed to cattle farms. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to map spatial data locations from 421 standardized cattle farms in 63 districts from Northeast Thailand. Hierarchical agglomerative clustering was applied as a statistical technique to sort datasets into homogeneous groups and three clusters were identified. The center of gravity (COG) method was then used to find the optimal locations of food distribution centers, with results suggesting Chatturat district, Pa Tio district, and Wang Sam Mo district as most suitable for distributing feed to cattle farms. |
