The new supermarket – a DME

This is a decision making resource looking at factors influencing the location of a supermarket. Students should follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the investigation to choose the best location for a new supermarket. There are six parts to the task, some of which require the use of the internet and mapping websites. Teaching notes are included to guide you through how to manage the investigation.

This resource could be easily adapted to any location and any topical planning issue, e.g. a new library, a new public park, a new information centre, etc.
