Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMADM) model for appropriate LOCATION SELECTION of a health center. Therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. These criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. This paper proposes a method which combines the methods of the INTERPRETIVE STRUCTURAL MODELING (ISM) and the fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) procedures to deal with the problem of the sub-systems interdependence and feedback. Also the methods of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and FUZZY ANALYTICAL NETWORK PROCESS are used to combine decision-makers‟ assessments about criteria weightings. Finally, an empirical study for the LOCATION SELECTION of a health center in Ramsar is conducted to demonstrate the computational process and effectiveness of FMADM proposed by this paper.
