Abstract

Öğrenci sağlık merkezi için yer seçimi özellikle son yıllarda dikkate alınması gereken önemli konulardan biridir. Artan öğrenci yoğunluğu ve genişleyen kampüsler olası bir acil durumda ilk yardımın yapılabilmesi açısından bu ihtiyacının ne kadar önemli olduğunu göstermektedir. Sıradan ve öğrenci yoğunluğundan uzak noktalara yapılacak bir öğrenci sağlık merkezi ve müdahale gerektiren durumlarda müdahalenin yapılamaması beraberinde birçok problemi getirebilmektedir. Bu problemden hareketle bu çalışmada öğrenci sağlık merkezi yer seçimi için bir gerçek hayat uygulaması yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu uygulamada öncelikle öğrencilerin bulunduğu kampüs noktalara ayrılmıştır. Sonrasında bu noktalar gruplandırılarak öğrenci sağlık merkezi için alternatif yerler ağırlık merkezi yöntemine göre belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen alternatifler ve öğrenci sağlık merkezi kriterleri TOPSIS yöntemi kullanılarak çözülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda kriterleri tatmin eden en uygun alternatif nokta seçilmiştir.

Student Health Centre Site Selection Based on Multi-Criteria Decision Making Method: A University Application

Abstract

Deciding a place for a student health center is one of the important issues to be taken into account especially in recent years. Increasing student density and expanding campuses show how important this need is in terms of providing first aid in a possible emergency. A student health center to be built in places far from ordinary and student density, and failure to intervene in situations requiring intervention can bring many problems. Based on this problem, in this study, a real life application was made for student health center location selection. In this application, the campus where the students are located is divided into points. Afterwards, these points were grouped and alternative places for the student health center were determined according to the center of gravity method. The determined alternatives and student health center criteria were solved using the TOPSIS method. At the end of the study, the most suitable alternative point satisfying the criteria was selected.
