Abstract: Many types of emergency facilities location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns with respect to multiple location criteria that include cost, timeliness, coverage and etc. In this paper, we developed a multi-objective DEA and GP combined model that first uses DEA to evaluate the relative efficiency of each alternative location, and then combines that formulation in a multi-objective framework. A hypothetical example is presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed model. The analysis verified that the proposed DEA and GP combined model is an effective tool for generating a set of more realistic and flexible optimal solution in solving emergency facility location problems and provides a promising rich approach to multi-objective facility location problems.
