E-retail\u0026#39;s growth alters the attractiveness of regions for logistics development, the strategies needed to promote the industry, and the data and models required to prepare for its transportation, land use, and workforce needs. This dissertation includes a three-part analysis: a location model describing factors influencing fulfillment center (FC) location, a survey of retail shippers, and case studies of the airport planning process.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDissertation results indicate that e-retailers choose FC location as a function of customer proximity, airport access, integrator hub proximity, and a variety of less significant regional factors. E-retail will continue to generate disproportionate air cargo activity while concentrating logistics facilities in the same region as large customer bases, integrator air hubs, and international gateway airports. These patterns will impact infrastructure and land needs, and planners should incorporate these trends into their forecasts and strategies. Airport planners are increasingly aware of e-retail\u0026rsquo;s freight generation potential, and they are gathering data in an ad hoc way to better understand it. National logistics activity and employment related to e-retail is expected to grow by several hundred percent in coming decades, concentrating particularly around logistics hubs and population centers in the Northeast, Ohio River Valley, and major metropolitan areas.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Electronic Retail Effects on Airports and Regional Development"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2018-03-28 17:53:12","changed_gmt":"2018-03-28 17:53:12","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-04-25T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-04-25T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-04-25T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-04-25 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-04-25 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-04-25 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
