Description
This study analyzes the possible location for the proposed South
Florida Regional Airport. The investigation is implemented through a
simple gravity model, which employes population, tourism, and income
distribution data along with a time-distance matrix to determine optimal
airport location. Additional analysis is undertaken to determine the
feasibility of a mass transit system providing access to the airport and
possible market areas which would be serviced by the facility. While
this study attempts to make no conclusions beyond the scope of the analysis
presented, it does generate several important conclusions. First, that a
site near Andytown, Florida, is superior to a site located near the
Everglades National Park. Second, the facility if constructed at Andytown
should be planned to service all of South Florida. Third, if the considerations
for future growth and development are sufficient to warrant the
selection of a more northernly location, the market potential and
transit time for a site near Clewiston, Florida can be altered, by
construction of a mass transit system, to put that site on a parity with
the Andytown site.
