2. Objective
Finding potential locations for establishing a
shopping mall in hyderabad.

3. Data
Ward-wise boundary map
Ward-wise population data
Road network of Hyderabad
Open spaces of Hyderabad
Urban sprawl of Hyderabad
Existing malls in Hyderabad

4. Population Model
Population density of an area
summarizes the extent of
everyday needs of the people
of that area. Densely populated
areas are often potential
markets for all kinds of
businesses. We are capturing
the densely populated areas as
potential locations for the mall.

5. Urban Sprawl Model
Urban Sprawl model indicates
the growing areas of the city. We
are looking for areas with high
commercial activity and
moderate to high population
density to maximize customer
latency and profits.

6. Major Road Model
Malls are often constructed on
major roads of the city to increase
ease of accessibility and avoid
traffic congestion. Factors
determining major roads are -
road width, connectivity, traffic
flow, etc.

7. Existing Malls
Businesses should be spread
uniformly to increase throughput
and productivity. We will try to
create buffer areas around
malls and these buffer areas will
be excluded from potential
areas.

8. Open Spaces Model
Open spaces consists of all areas
where buildings can be
constructed.

9. Web-GIS Approach
Since there are many user-defined parameters set for
analysis, we could use them in a Web-GIS, where the user
will set different parameters and accordingly the results will
be displayed.
