This paper presents a study on accessibility analysis for public housing development in Choa Chu Kang/Bukit Panjang area, Singapore, using geographical information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria analysis methods. GIS is used to measure accessibility to different types of facilities and amenities, while a multi-criteria method is employed to weight buyers’ preferences about the importance of e...

Access to basic health care services is one of the major issues in developing nations. The location of health care facilities is an important aspect in health care delivery. It is therefore necessary for health care services to be located optimally to serve the demands well. This study develops an integrated methodology in the field of healthcare location which minimizes the weighted average Eu...

BACKGROUND Offering specialized programming at substance abuse treatment facilities can help diversify clientele and funding sources, potentially enhancing the facilities' ability to survive and/or expand.

Emergency facilities, which provide relief materials and services, play an important role in rescue management. The decision of where to locate the emergency rescue facilities is very important, as...

In this paper we analyze a continuous version of the maximal covering location problem, in which facilities are required to be linked by means given graph structure (provided that two allowed if distance is not exceed). We propose mathematical programming framework for problem and different resolution strategies. First, provide Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming formulation derive some geomet...
