Abstract

It is clearly known that urban freight transportation has a significant role on sustainable development of urban areas. The persistent growth of the costs of freight transportation and as a result of congestion, environmental pollution and increasing inefficient usage of land in urban areas are forcing users and public authorities to develop alternative logistic solutions to relieve the freight traffic problem. Establishing logistics centers is one of these alternative solutions. Logistics centers are specific centers that various logistic based activities like distribution, storage, transportation, consolidation, handling, customs clearance, imports, exports, transit processes, infrastructural services, insurance, banking and similar commercial activities are performed. These centers are defined for national and international all logistic and related operations. Logistic centers must be settled near production and commercial centers, highways, railways, airports and if possible seaports. In this study we proposed a fuzzy TOPSIS approach to a logistics center location selection problem in eastern anatolia region of Turkey.
