A STUDY ON LOCATION SELECTION FOR PRIVATE DISABLED CARE CENTER USING AHP AND TOPSIS METHODS: THE CASE OF ISTANBUL PROVINCE

Abstract

This study aims to determine the criteria to be considered during the site selection stage of private disabled care centers for disabled individuals, to list the criteria by weighting, and to choose the right place among alternative places. The research was designed in three stages. In the first stage, the articles published in WOS and SCOPUS were examined and criteria for site selection were determined. In the second stage, the criteria were presented to the expert opinion and weighted with the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method. In the third stage, the three identified alternatives were presented to the expert opinion again and the ranking of the alternatives was made with the TOPSIS method. With the analyzes made, it has been concluded that the most logical places among Kadıköy, Büyükçekmece, and Şişli districts are Büyükçekmece, Kadıköy, and Şişli, respectively. It is thought that the study will increase the quality of care services to be provided to individuals with disabilities and will be a guide for the private enterprise that is considering opening an institution in this field.

AHP VE TOPSIS YÖNTEMLERİ KULLANILARAK ÖZEL YATILI ENGELLİ BAKIM MERKEZİ YER SEÇİMİNE YÖNELİK BİR ÇALIŞMA: İSTANBUL İLİ ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma; engelli bireyler için özel yatılı bakım merkezlerinin yer seçimi aşamasında dikkat edilmesi gereken kriterlerin belirlenmesi, kriterlerin ağırlıklandırılarak sıralanması ve alternatif yerler arasından en doğru yer seçiminin yapılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma deseni üç aşamalı olarak tasarlanmıştır. İlk aşamada WOS ve SCOPUS indekslerinde yayınlanmış makaleler incelenerek yer seçimine yönelik kriterler belirlenmiştir. İkinci aşamada kriterler uzman görüşüne sunulmuş ve Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi Yöntemi ile ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Üçüncü aşamada ise belirlenen üç alternatif tekrardan uzman görüşüne sunulmuş ve TOPSİS yöntemi ile alternatiflerin sıralaması yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler ile Kadıköy, Büyükçekmece ve Şişli ilçeleri arasından en mantıklı yer seçiminin sırasıyla Büyükçekmece, Kadıköy ve Şişli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın engelli bireylere sunulacak bakım hizmetlerinin kalitesini artıracağı ve bu alanda kurum açmayı düşünen özel teşebbüs için yol gösterici bir nitelik taşıyacağı düşünülmektedir.
