Abstract :
Entrepreneurship is helping drive local economic growth in the Philippines, but many new business owners find it hard to meet regulatory requirements and pick the right business locations. These issues are especially common in the food service sector, where several government agencies enforce strict legal, zoning, and health rules. Although spatial analysis and the Gravity Model are often used in urban planning, public health, and market analysis, there is still a lack of decision-support systems that combine regulatory compliance and location recommendations for entrepreneurs at the local government level. This study developed a web-based recommendation system that reviews business regulations and finds the best business locations using the Gravity Model. The system gives entrepreneurs a list of regulatory requirements based on their chosen business type and suggests sites in Janiuay, Iloilo. System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and gathered data from municipal agencies, population and spatial records, and business guidelines. The system was evaluated using ISO 25010 Software Quality Standards. Results show that the system works very well in terms of functionality, usability, security, reliability, and performance. This proves it can help entrepreneurs with legal compliance and choosing business locations. The system also adds value to both research and practice by combining spatial data analysis with regulatory automation. It offers a tool that supports evidence-based entrepreneurship, helps local governments make decisions, and improves business planning.
