“…The VIKOR algorithm determines the weight stability intervals, for the obtained compromise solution with the ''input" weights, indicating the preference stability of obtained compromise solution. Fernandez and Ruiz [3] considered the selection of a location for an industrial park. In their paper, they have proposed a three-level hierarchical decision process in which each level has its own geographical decision criteria.…”

Facility location selection is a decision problem that takes into consideration both qualitative and quantitative factors and also is one of the most important strategic decisions affecting organizations in terms of business success. Fundamentally, it comprises evaluating a group of alternative sites on the basis of multiple criteria. In this context when alternatives and factors are multitudinous, multi-criteria decision making methods are being used for successful decisions. In this paper the decision problem is exemplified by applying on a part of a project for a call center site selection by using one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, namely hierarchy grey relational analysis, based on application of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) methods. The goal of the selection is to determine the most appropriate location among the alternatives.Nine cities given as alternatives are evaluated and compared against human resources, economic and regional conditions including fourteen sub-criteria.

“…Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was introduced by Saaty [17] and afterwards it gained widely acceptance [1][2][3][4], [13][14][15]. AHP has been used to solve multiple criteria decision making problems in different areas of human needs and interests.…”

“…A conceptual descriptive model for placing and evaluating sustainable industrial parks has been proposed by Fernandez and Ruiz (2009). In order to take sustainability criteria along with other basic factors into consideration, the authors have proposed the use of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) decision making method to come up with a location solution that balances all the factors considered.…”

Facility location methods play a crucial role in specifying the optimum location options for various types of facilities. A question that arises is what makes a facility location decision a sustainable one? Facility location, also known as location analysis, is a known concept in the literature, but sustainable facility location is not. This requires appropriately defining the concept and framing the problem in order to address the relevant issues. Facility location models in the existing literature do not effectively include all the requirements of sustainable development. This paper serves as a discussion of the current literature concerning the sustainability aspects of the location problem. The aim is to conduct a comprehensive literature review to identify the characteristics of the sustainable facility location problem and propose a framework for classification of sustainability characteristics. The study shows that the location literature has steadily progressed toward considering not only economic but also social and environmental criteria in location decisions; but that many steps remain to be taken toward developing location models that integrate all three aspects of sustainability into decision making. The main motivation for the current study is to provide a foundation from which issues of sustainable development can be built into facility location and siting models.

“…Its use in optimizing the design of IS schemes has the advantage of representing and integrating the multiple objectives arising from the presence of multiple decision-makers into a single parameter within the model. Fuzzy sets have also been used for other environmental applications, such as the evaluation of the sustainability of production processes (Tseng et al, 2008(Tseng et al, , 2009a, the development of a municipal solid waste management model (Tseng and Lin, 2009) and the selection of sustainable industrial areas (Fernández and Ruiz, 2009) where evaluation criteria were characterized with uncertainty. Recent applications of fuzzy concepts in life cycle based optimization models have also been reported (Tan, 2008;Tan et al, 2008Tan et al, , 2009c.…”
