In this study an economic analysis was conducted to evaluate problem associated with a geographical information system (GIS) using facility location models for the p-median in order to optimize the location of aerodromes for the aerial fertilization (coverage fertilization) of eucalyptus plantations. The location model was tested on a 9,095.65 ha farm located in the Tres Lagoas municipality in the Mato Grosso do Sul State, in Brazil. The non-capacitated p-median location model, available in ArcGIS, was evaluated in the location-allocation module. Simulations were performed based on one to five aerodromes. The fertilization and setup costs were calculated for each scenario. The results showed that the p-median location model was efficient in determining the optimal location of aerodromes. The economic analysis of the location model found that the lowest costs are incurred when using three aerodromes. Key words: Combinatorial optimization, operational research, aerial fertilization. |
