| Summary: | This doctoral thesis proposes the design of a methodological framework for the configuration of networks of Urban Logistics Spaces (ULS) for the distribution system of goods in urban contexts. In this work, a typology of ULS¿s is considered vital, in order to contribute to an exhaustive analysis both at an academic and practical level with the aim of proposing applicable solutions close to reality. This research is relevant due to the current need of the logistics system in general, in relation to an adequate location of logistics spaces according to the decision level and specificities of the problem in order to improve the flow of goods in a city. In this methodological framework, the needs, judgments, and criteria of the different parties interested and/or affected by the system are considered. Accordingly, in this research, the view of multiple stakeholders will be analyzed with various indicators for decision making on the location of ULSs and/or reconfigurations of ULS networks. In order to answer the main question of this research, "How to define a network of Urban Logistics Spaces (ULS) in a multi-stakeholder decision context? " a methodological framework has been designed that captures the key elements to be addressed in a decision-making process of this nature. The methodological proposal involves the selection of a group of stakeholders, the most relevant criteria to consider, the selection of a multi-criteria technique as a support for making a specific decision according to the dimensions and variables of the location problem (FLP), the definition of the problem according to the context of analysis. This allows to analyze the location of ULS in a unified way, regardless of the context of study, while considering each of the specified problem, objective, and context. |
