Optimal Hospital Location Using Combined Approach of GIS and ANP under Fuzzy Environment (Case Study in Arak City)

Health-care applications are those types of uses that, in the event of inaccurate location, may lead to irreparable loss of life in addition to the economic and financial constraints. The geographical location is the main component of access to medical services. Therefore, the importance of optimal...
