Sustainability Model to Select Optimal Site Location for Temporary Housing Units: Combining GIS and the MIVES–Knapsack Model

Selecting the best site location for temporary housing (TH) is one of most critical decision-making processes in aftermath disasters. Many spatial variables and multi-criteria indicator problems are involved analysis. Incorrect treatment these components often led to failure previous post-disaster recovery programmes. Wrong decisions caused short- long-term negative impacts on environment people as well wasting capital spending. In this regard, research paper aims present a novel approach that helps decision makers select optimal locations consider sustainability-related by assessing numerous alternatives. This new model based combining knapsack algorithm integrated value sustainability assessment (MIVES) derive makes it possible objectively quantify indicators (economic, environmental, social aspects) satisfaction indices each (or set sites) terms TH location. The designed receive filter data from geographic information system (GIS). Using future programs believed increase stakeholders’ maximise associated with selection.
