Analytical Hierarchy Process and PROMETHEE Based Evaluation of Campus Access Locations: An Application in Manisa Celal Bayar University

Öz

The location selection problem has been considered in many different areas in recent years and is, therefore, one of the most popular decision-making problems. These problems are among the types of problems that can be solved with the most appropriate multi-criteria decision-making methods since many criteria must be taken into account. In this study, an alternative site selection study has been adhered to for the bicycle stations in Manisa Celal Bayar University Sehit Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Campus. The primary goal was to determine the most suitable new alternative places according to the student density due to the insufficient current situation of bike-sharing stations. In order to determine this alternative, four different points with intensity zones were considered as criteria. However, four alternative stations were determined and different multi-criteria decision-making methods were combined with a geographic information system (GIS). An analytical hierarchy process was applied to obtain the criterion weights and alternative stations were sorted by the PROMETHEE method. Finally, as a result of the calculated data, the most suitable alternative station was decided.

Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci ve Promethee Tabanlı Kampüs İçi Erişim Lokasyonlarının Değerlendirilmesi: Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi’nde Bir Uygulama

Öz

Yer seçim problemi son yıllarda birçok farklı alanda dikkate alınan ve bu sebeple popüler karar verme problemlerdendir. Bu problemler çok sayıda kriterin dikkate alınması gerektiği için en uygun çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri ile çözülebilen problem tiplerindendir. Bu çalışmada Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi, Şehit Prof. Dr İlhan Varank kampüsünde bulunan bisiklet istasyonları için alternatif yer seçim çalışması yapılmıştır. Bir gerçek hayat uygulaması sunulan bu çalışmada bisiklet paylaşım istasyonlarının mevcut durumunun yetersiz olması sebebiyle öğrenci yoğunluğuna göre yeni alternatif bisiklet istasyonu yerlerinden en uygununu belirlemek öncelikli amaç olmuştur. Bu alternatif bisiklet istasyonlarını belirlemek için yoğunluk bölgelerinin olduğu dört farklı nokta belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, en uygun alternatif istasyonun bulunabilmesi için farklı çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri bir coğrafi bilgi sistemi (CBS) ile birleştirilmiştir. Analitik hiyerarşi süreci kriter ağırlıklarını elde etmek için uygulanmış ve PROMETHEE yöntemi ile alternatif istasyonların sıralaması yapılmıştır. Son olarak, hesaplanan veriler neticesinde en uygun alternatif istasyona karar verilmiştir.
