Abstract | One of the selected criteria for understanding a healthy urban community is its access to health and medication in every parts of the town and the availability of such facilities to all citizens (Shakooyie 1986:122). Quick and inexpensive access to such centers is significantly important in every community, especially urban areas (EbrahimZadeh 2012: 83). The position of such land usage depends on several criteria and variables. As a result, in order to determine and measure the importance coefficients of these criteria and effective parameters on positioning this kind of usage, the advantages of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques were implemented. The process of the study was started with the collection of location data, then a database was compiled, the required maps were supplied, and each criterion was built into an information layer in GIS. Next, each information layer was allocated a specific weight using DEMATEL and ANP, based on the degree of its importance in positioning health centers. Finally, in order for selecting the appropriate location for health and medication centers, the obtained results from integrating the information layers were used to zone Ilami lands. After drawing the features, a desirable condition for positioning health and medical centers was provided |
