Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the most suitable location for a possible dry port in the Aegean Region of Türkiye based on various criteria. The concept of dry port, which is highly discussed especially in foreign literature, and accordingly, dry port location selection is examined as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem that requires various evaluation criteria. In this context, the PROMETHEE method, which is one of the MCDM methods, is used for dry port selection. As a result of the analyses, it can be said that in an environment where port congestion is increasing, dry ports can decrease this congestion, in this context, Türkiye is in an advantageous position and considering the global crisis events such as the pandemic called Covid-19, such applications will contribute to the overall efforts to strengthen Türkiye's logistics infrastructure. In the study, 10 locations were evaluated based on a total of 13 criteria. Among these locations, the location with the highest score can be considered as the most suitable dry port area.
