ABSTRACT

We are often confronted with decision-making problems in planning and location analysis of public facilities: How to select effectively the optimum location among various alternatives (sites) or how to rank such alternatives according to their advantage and importance. As one of technical methods for the effective decision making, the Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method has been developed and widely used. In this paper, we examined location analysis for new fire stations using the MADM method based on data of fire service manpower (the number of fire officials), equipment (the number of facilities), fire statistics (fire incidence), access (road condition) and cooperation with other agencies in Jinju and Sacheon area. Based on such data, we selected the best alternatives using TOPSIS and HAW. In this study, the AHP method and the Entropy method were used for weighting and locations alternatives for fire stations were evaluated.
