Facility Location Problem with Mathematical Modelling and Elazığ in National Scale / Matematiksel Modelleme Tekniği İle Tesis Yerleşim Yeri Seçimi Ve Ulusal Ölçekte Elazığ'ın Yeri

This study deals with a case study in national scale on the subject of facility location selection using various mathematical modelling techniques. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the attractiveness of the City of Elazığ in this context. In this sense, two different mathemetical models in the related literature called “Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP)” and “p-median” which is a special case of the first are used and all other factors are assumed to be equal for all candidate cities. The experimental results that are obtained in this framework are presented at the end along with evaluations, limitations, and future directions for the study.
