I???m starting a project and was looking to know the best way around it.. Basically what I???m looking to do is select possible locations for the positioning of bins within a village. A high percentage of the households (pointer data) must be within 100m walking distance to one of the bins. Obviously this will have to be cost effective so the least amount of stops the better. I plan on using pointer data for the households and then road and street networks for walking distances. I am in the process of getting the Network Analyst extension as I???m guessing this will be needed.
I'd go for using the Location-Allocation solver in Network Analyst (NA). It may look a bit complicated at first, but when you go through a tutorial and test a bit you will see it is easy to use and very powerful yet flexible.

This looks great and really similar to what I'm trying to achieve. I will get a run through this tutorial when I get the license transferred onto my machine..
