“…It should be noted that a case study can be classified into more than one category. As shown in Table 6, the application of LRP models to optimize a case of waste management network planning (e.g., Rahim and Sepil, 2014;Sheriff et al 2014;Asefi et al, 2019;Hu et al, 2019) is by far the most popular study. Other popular application areas are emergency and disaster management (Rath and Gutjahr, 2014;Wang et al, 2014;Bozorgi-Amiri and Khorsi, 2016;Xu et al, 2016;Burkart et al, 2017;Veysmoradi et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2019a;Xiong et al, 2019), food distribution network planning (Solak et al, 2014;Hemmelmayr et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2017;Validi et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018bWang et al, , 2018cChao et al, 2019;Saragih et al, 2019), and city logistics (Zhou et al, 2016; Zhou et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2018b;Chao et al, 2019;Rodriguez et al, 2019;Saragih et al, 2019;Schmidt et al, 2019).…”
