Abstract
One of the critical problems in the attempt to construct central-place models in terms of the location-allocation problem is to optimize the overall system by combining retailer and consumer behaviours; and this problem is solved by use of a two-level control system. In this system, suboptimization problems are individually solved and consumer behaviour is controlled at the community level, and the location of central facilities is determined at the city level to maximize demand within the city. This model is applied to a city consisting of twelve communities, and the optimum location pattern of central facilities for three orders of functions are determined.
