Abstract
The Sanriku Coast was devastated by a tsunami from the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, totally destroying the fishery facilities. For fishery reconstruction, we must consider not only the fishing fleets and ports, but also the entire supply chain: processing plants, refrigeration facilities and fish markets. In this study, we perform a model-based analysis of the optimal location of processing and distribution facilities along the Sanriku Coast, from a wide perspective. Based on the p-median and p-center problems, which constitute representative examples of the facilities location problem, we analyze the optimal location and its allocation of each facility and evaluate its process using sequential location model.
