Multi-objective modeling for determining location of undesirable facilities

Abstract This paper develops a model for determining locations of undesirable facilities. It is formulated as multi-objective since the problem of locating undesirable facilities faces many conflicting criteria. A method is also proposed to appropriately address uncertainty associated with this class of location problems. The methodology developed in this study is tested using the real-world data.
