“…All of the evaluations done by the members of the board of directors are done according to the scales given in Table 1. Strongly Important SI (6,7,8) Absolutely Important AI (8,9,9) As the first step of the process, evaluations are done for the criteria weights. All of the members of the board of directors evaluated criteria given in Table 2 according to the scale given in Table 1.…”

Aim: The purpose of this study is to select the best hospital location for a health institution under 10 criteria using multi criteria decision making techniques under fuzzy environment. Another important purpose of this study is to include weights of the members of the board of directors of the institution while making decisions. Method: Evaluations are done to select the best hospital location for a private health institution. To this aim, fuzzy VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method is used with the help of members of the board of directors by using group decision making. All members of the board of directors are included in the problem according to the weights in the board of directors. Hence, the results of the study to make the decision of hospital location selection are more objective. Findings: The results of this study demonstrate the best location for a new hospital. In addition, differences between the locations are clearly seen at the fuzzy results for comparisons. To validate the results of this study and the proposed method, another fuzzy multi criteria decision making method is applied to the problem. Consistency of all results shows applicability, effectiveness and validity of the proposed method for hospital location selection. Conclusion: Evaluations of all results show that the proposed method is efficient for hospital location selection problem and can also be applicable for other decision making problems of health institutions.

“…Site selection of new hospitals is one of the vital decisions considered by urban and health policymakers. The priority of healthcare services is to provide the right service to all citizens at all times in the right places (Chatterjee, Mukherjee, 2013). Optimal site selection is critical and important for usefulness and fairness of healthcare amenities.…”

“…The suitable sits for the waste substance access center were selected using each model. Chatterjee and Mukherjee (2013) studied to perform a multicriteria evaluation of potential hospital locations using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) using a case of three potential rural sites in India. Senvar et al (2016) studied handles the problem of establishing a well-organized and distributed network of a hospital that delivers its services to the target population.…”

The participation of citizens in decision-making processes is one of the main concerns in urban planning. People's contributions increase the usability and efficiency of urban facilities. Hospitals and healthcare services are among the most important public facilities that citizens require. This paper aims to improve an approach that could locate the hospitals according to the citizens' preferences. Decision-making process in this situation should consider the uncertainties exist in any steps of decisions-making. In this regard, this paper applied Fuzzy-VIKOR method that is appropriate to model such kind of uncertainty. The proposed method was accomplished in Districts 6 of Tehran province. The achieved results were compared with each other in two different scenario (using expert knowledge and citizens' satisfaction). The comparison of the results showed that the more suitable distribution and density of proposed sites for hospitals must be observed if the citizens' perspectives were considered. Also, the proposed sites with experts follow urban planning principals rather than the second case.

“…Such is the case of health care problems, in which health care centers (typically hospitals, as pointed out by Chatterjee and Mukherjee, 2013) should be located in order to maximize the assistance or coverage level. For instance, Beliën et al (2013) optimally placed some organ transplant centers.…”

Abstract. Underestimating facility location decisions may penalize business performance over the time. These penalties have usually been studied from the economic point of view, analyzing its impact on profitability. Additionally, the concern about obtaining sustainability is gaining importance, leading to a search for renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, little attention has been paid to choosing a location considering environmental criteria. Thus, this work aims at determining a biorefinery location considering its impacts on natural resources. Therefore, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model has been developed, taking into account crop location and biomass production seasonality to obtain a proper location that minimizes environmental impact.
