Location Analysis of Freight Distribution Terminal of Jakarta City, Indonesia
Abstract: Currently Jakarta
has two freight terminals, namely Pulo Gebang and Tanah Merdeka. But, both
terminals are just functioned for parking and have not been utilized properly
yet, e.g. for consolidation. Goods consolidation, which is usually performed in
distribution terminal, may reduce number of freight flow within the city. This
paper is aimed to determine the best location of distribution terminal in
Jakarta among those two terminals and two additional alternative sites, namely
Lodan and Rawa Buaya. It is initialized by the identification of important
factors that affect the location selection. It is carried out by Likert
analysis through the questionnaires distributed to logistics firms. The best location
is determined by applying Overlay Analysis using ArcGIS 9.2. Four grid maps are
produced to represent the accessibility, cost, time, and environment factors as
the important factors of location. The result shows that the ranking from the
best is; Lodan, Tanah Merdeka, Pulo Gebang, and Rawa Buaya.
