QuViS -- The Question of Visual Site Selection

This paper present QuViS, which is an interactive platform for visualization and exploratory data analysis of site selection. The aim of QuViS is to support decision makers and experts during the process of site selection. In addition to visualization engine for exploratory analysis, QuViS is also integrated with our automatic site selection method (QuIS), which recommend different sites automatically based on the selected location factors by economists and experts. To show the potential and highlight the visualization and exploration capabilities of QuViS, a case study on 1,556 German supermarket site selection is performed. The real publicly available dataset contains 450 location factors for all 11,162 multiplicities in Germany, covering the last 10-15 years. Case study results shows that QuViS provides an easy and intuitive way for exploratory analysis of geospatial multidimensional data.
