Community attitudes, zoning restrictions, and quality of labour force are likely to be considered in which of the following location decision methods?

A) transportation method
B) locational break-even analysis
C) centre-of-gravity method
D) simulation
E) factor-rating method

Community attitudes, zoning restrictions, and quality of labour force are qualitative factors that can be assessed in the factor-rating method, which is a popular location decision method that considers both quantitative and qualitative factors. The transportation method and centre-of-gravity method focus more on transportation costs and distances, while the locational break-even analysis and simulation typically consider financial factors such as revenues, costs, and profits.
