Optimizing Logistics Center Location in Brčko District: A Fuzzy Approach Analysis
Journal Title: Journal of Urban Development and Management - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In urban logistics, the strategic placement of logistics centers significantly influences cost efficiency. This study explores optimal locations for establishing logistics centers within the Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The methodology involves expert evaluations, employing linguistic values to assess criteria and alternatives. A fuzzy approach is utilized to translate these values into actionable data. The application of the fuzzy Logarithm Methodology of Additive Weights (LMAW) method was instrumental in ascertaining the significance of various location selection criteria. Amongst these, connectivity to multinodular transport emerged as paramount. Concurrently, the fuzzy Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method facilitated the ranking of potential sites, identifying the Brka-Gajine Zone as the most favorable. These findings were substantiated through a comparative and sensitivity analysis. Comparative analysis reinforced the CoCoSo method's alignment with results derived from the fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. Sensitivity analysis revealed fluctuations in the rankings of locations A2 and A5 across twelve scenarios. This research not only demonstrates the efficacy of fuzzy methodologies in urban logistics center location selection but also highlights the Brka-Gajine Zone's potential as a burgeoning business hub, poised to become a dominant force in logistics. The study's findings offer valuable insights for urban planning and logistics optimization, emphasizing the role of multidimensional assessment in such decision-making processes.
