Relocation of facility location based on the inactive defense approach in humanitarian aid logistics

Abstract: In recent years, the increased incidence of natural disasters with irreparable damage to people has led to various efforts to reduce its destructive effects and consequences. Hence, humanitarian aid logistics are aimed at preserving life and reducing the suffering of people in crises. Facility location is a strategic issue in humanitarian logistics and has a planning role before the crisis. Finding the right place for establishment of the facilities can help relieve the disaster. This research is also based on the principles of non-operational defense and the design of a multi-objective mathematical model for seeking a suitable location for the facility. In this mathematical model based on four population density indexes, user appropriateness, access to the road and enclosure of the appropriate location for the establishment of a hospital, temporary care centers, shelters and warehouses is selected. The designed model is solved using Lexicographic method and via GAMS software.
