The optimal Site selection operation is one of the most important challenges facing planners. Many location-allocation models have been developed based on multi-criteria decision making process. Recent methods take into account site, network, and user characteristics to determine appropriate location. development optimum system has a growing focus for authorities across world.

Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) adopted first step criteria weights. Results AHP showed response time had highest weight among other criteria. Ranking different alternatives conducted second using RAFSI model choose Model ranking clearly indicated road-network as best alternative locate EMS centers.
