| Abstract: |
| The participation of citizens in decision-making processes is one of the main concerns in urban planning. It increases the usability and efficiency of urban facilities. Hospitals and health canters are among the most important public facilities that citizens require. This paper aims to improve an approach that could locate the hospitals according to the citizens’ preferences. Decision making process in this situation should consider the uncertainties exist in any steps of decisions making. In this regard, this paper applied fuzzy-VIKOR method that is appropriate to model such kind of uncertainty. The proposed method was implemented in Districts 6 of Tehran. The achieved results were compared with each other in tow different scenario (using expert knowledge and citizens’ satisfaction). The comparison of the results showed that the more suitable distribution and density of proposed sites for hospitals must be observed if the citizens’ perspectives were considered. Also, the proposed sites with experts follow urban planning principals rather than the second case. |
