Abstract
Site selection for a hospital is demanding and challenging work. It’s become more complicated when considering various infectious diseases. Multiple criteria and sub-criteria are considered for selecting the most suitable and efficient hospital location. In this paper, we find the most suitable location for multiple disease-related hospitals using the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies. The proposed study is done by the MCDM techniques, namely spherical Entropy and spherical VIekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) methods. The decision-making for site selection is based on multiple experts’ opinions. Also, we use real data sources in spherical fuzzy numbers (SFN) to capture all its uncertainty. We proposed a new score function and an accuracy function of the SFN to evaluate crisp value from fuzzy numbers. The most prioritized criteria and sub-criteria are determined with their weights. We optimized the proposed site based on demand and criterion weight. Finally, sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis are conducted to check the stability and robustness of the result.
