dc.description.abstractThe logistics center concept has been discussed in the literature for over four decades. Logistics centers simplify the logistics network and have many advantages, such as lower transportation costs, an economy of scale, and integrated service capabilities. We propose a spatial multi-criteria decision-making model for new logistic centers in metropolitan areas. The first focus of the study is identifying the logistic concerns, defining the factors affecting the replacement decisions and determining the weights of the factors in metropolitan areas with many expert opinions. The second focuses on spatial analysis to locate new logistics centers serving urban areas. We present a case study in Istanbul, the most populous metropolis in Europe, to demonstrate the applicability and exhibit efficacy of the method proposed in this study. Outputs of the study pointed out where the convenient places are to locate new logistics centers.
