The terminal location is the related
with to the decision of how many terminals to establish is the decision of
where to establish them. They based on geographic, government and demand
variables. The location must be to refer from the economic activities based on
one location. The fundamentally based on geographical concepts of the site and
based on situation. The site relates to the characteristics of a specific
location while the situation concerns the relationships of a location in
relation to other locations.
Besides that, specific sites suitable
for defense or commerce have been important factors in the location of cities.
In addition to being a factor of spatial organization, transportation is linked
with the location of economic activities, including retail, manufacturing and
services. In a market economy, location is the outcome of a constrained
choice where many issues are being
considered, transportation being one of them. The goal is to find a suitable
location that would maximize the economic returns for this activity. There is a
long tradition within economic geography in developing location with a view to explain and
predict the effect of economic activities by incorporating market,
institutional and behavioral considerations.
The
majority of location theories have an explicit or implicit role attributed to transport since
accessibility is an important factor in the location preferences of firms and
individuals. As there are no absolute rules dictating location choices, the
importance of transport can only be evaluated with varying degrees of accuracy.
The example for location terminal is ports and airport, roads and railroads and
telecommunication.First about ports and airport are convergence of related
activities around terminals, particularly for ports since inland and the cost
being too high.
The location and level of activity of ports
and airports are reflective of global patterns. For example the airport and
ports in Malaysia is Senai International Airport and Ports Klang. Second about
roads and railroads, a structuring and convergence effect the varies according
to the level accessibility. For the rail transportation the terminal also have
a convergence effect. Last example for location terminal so telecommunications
they no specific local influence but the quality of regional and national
telecommunication system tends to ease transactions.
