SITE SELECTION FOR POST-EARTHQUAKE RELIEF CENTERS USING GIS AND ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP)

Iran is located in one of the most active tectonic regions of the world and has experienced many destructive earthquakes.These earhtquakes have resulted in the death of thou-sands of the people and destruction of the many villages and cities. One of the measures for confronting the consequences of the earth-quakes is proper siting of important facilities, such as the post-earthquake relief centers.In this article site selection for post-earthquake relief centers in one of the densest parts of the Tehran city (Zone 11), using GIS and Analytic Hierarchy Prcess (AHP) is presented. For the purposes of this study, site selection criteria for post-earthquake relief centers were extracted from the relevant literature. Using GIS-overlay anlaysis, probable sites for relief centers were identified. Analytic Hierarchy Prcess (AHP), a multi-criteria evaluation technique, was used to select the most suitable site for a post-earthquake relief center. In this paper, in addition to site selection for post-earthquake relief centers in zone 11 of Tehran city, a simple, flexible and rational methodology for similar site selections has been presented.
