Evaluation of Stadium Locations Using AHP and TOPSIS Methods

Abstract

With the industrialization of the sports, stadiums started to mean more than a venue for playing games. Therefore, choosing the best location of a stadium is an important problem for the sports clubs. In this paper, a two-step hierarchical multi-criteria decision-making model has been developed to evaluate stadium locations. In the first step, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used to determine the criteria weights. In the second step, TOPSIS has been used to evaluate the alternatives. Four main criteria have been identified to evaluate alternatives: (1) stadium capacity, (2) construction cost, (3) accessibility and (4) distances. As a case study, the proposed model has been applied to three new stadium constructions in Izmir, Turkey.

AHP ve TOPSIS Yöntemleriyle Stadyum Yerlerinin Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Sporun endüstriyelleşmesinden sonra, stadyumlar sadece bir oyun alanı olmaktan çok daha fazlası haline gelmiştir. Buna göre, bir stadyum için en iyi yeri seçmek spor kulüpleri için önemli bir problemdir. Bu çalışmada, stadyum yeri alternatiflerini değerlendirmek için iki aşamalı bir Çok Kriterli Karar Verme modeli geliştirilmiştir. Birinci aşamada, kriter ağırlıklarının belirlenmesi için Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHS) kullanılmıştır. İkinci aşamada alternatifleri değerlendirmek için TOPSIS yöntemi kullanılmıştır.  Alternatifleri değerlendirmek üzere dört ana kriter belirlenmiştir: (1) stadyumların kapasiteleri, (2) inşaat maliyetleri, (3) ulaşılabilirlik, (4) uzaklık. Önerilen model, İzmir’de yapılan üç yeni stadyum inşaatında vaka analizi ile sınanmıştır.
