The interpretative structural model of influencing factors of the new-type town distribution system

An Interpretative Structural Model (ISM) of influencing factors of the new-type town distribution system is proposed in this paper. The weight of each influencing factor in the ISM is obtained by extended Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The main influencing factors are analyzed. It provides reference for the development and construction of China's new-type town distribution system. First, the influencing factor set of new-type town distribution system is put forward and the interaction relation between each two factors is analyzed to form the Reachable Matrix. According to the Reachable Matrix, the ISM of influencing factors of the new-type town distribution system is constructed. In order to directly show the impact of each factor on the new-type town distribution system, an extended AHP method to calculate the weight of each factor is proposed in this paper. Finally, the analysis of two examples verifies the practicability and adaptability of the proposed method.
