1. Name of the topic of the master's thesis: Using GIS and Spatial Analysis for Finding Optimal Locations of Major Internet Retailer Pickup Points 2. Master student: Prigogine Arkady Ilyich, gr. MLG 181, HSE School of Logistics 3. Academic Supervisor: Zakhodyakin Gleb Viktorovich, Senior Lecturer, HSE 4. Keywords: geographic information systems, location problem, logistics service The problem being investigated is that, if it is necessary to develop the infrastructure related to the delivery of goods by the end customer, there is a lack of approaches to finding new locations for placing points of orders for the Internet retailer, which would take into account the current problems of the existing infrastructure - such as lack of access to it at clients in this or that zone. The purpose of this dissertation was to develop an approach that would consider the problems of this network, including client perspective, and would allow to ultimately give recommendations on the development of a network of points of delivery in a particular analyzed area of ​​the city in question. Such an approach will have to become part of a more general approach to the development of a distribution network in online retail. Based on the results of this dissertation, such an approach was developed and described, after which it was found that problems with the level of service identified using it are indeed confirmed by other analytical data of the company. In addition, general recommendations were given on the development of a network of distribution points and post offices in the identified problem areas and the cost-effectiveness of these measures was calculated.
