This study investigates the criteria affecting the location of humanitarian logistics distribution centers in the Sakarya province of Turkey, an area prone to natural disasters. The study identifies potential distribution center locations and uses the Best-Worst Method (BWM) to determine criteria such as population, distance to major highways and airports, public transportation availability, natural disaster risk, and suitable infrastructure. BWM is used to assign weights to each criterion and rank them based on their importance. The Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method is then used to evaluate potential distribution center locations based on the established criteria. Disaster management experts and academicians provide their opinions through an online and face-to-face survey. Based on the results, Adapazarı is identified as the most suitable district for a humanitarian logistics distribution center. The study highlights the importance of considering multiple criteria when selecting distribution center locations and provides a framework for using multi-criteria decision-making methods in logistics planning. Disaster managers and policymakers can use the results to make informed decisions about the location of humanitarian logistics distribution centers.

使用混合 BWM-ARAS 的人道主义物流配送中心选址：土耳其案例研究

本研究调查了影响自然灾害多发地区土耳其萨卡里亚省人道主义物流配送中心选址的标准。该研究确定了潜在的配送中心位置，并使用最佳-最差方法 (BWM) 来确定人口、距主要高速公路和机场的距离、公共交通可用性、自然灾害风险和合适的基础设施等标准。BWM 用于为每个标准分配权重，并根据其重要性对它们进行排名。然后使用附加比率评估 (ARAS) 方法根据既定标准评估潜在的配送中心位置。灾害管理专家和院士通过在线和面对面的调查发表意见。根据结果​​，阿达帕扎勒被认为是最适合建立人道主义物流配送中心的地区。该研究强调了选择配送中心位置时考虑多种标准的重要性，并提供了在物流规划中使用多标准决策方法的框架。灾害管理者和政策制定者可以利用这些结果就人道主义物流配送中心的位置做出明智的决定。
