Abstract :
One of the important issues of defense against air and ground attacks is to protect the lives of troops and reduce casualties, have proper medical facilities and adequate hospitals in places where inappropriate defense principles and location considerations are taken into considerationThe present study was conducted as a descriptive-analytic barometric applied research and used by military experts to optimize the location of hospitals by using one of the multi-criteria decision making methods (FUZZYAHP) in the GIS. The end of the research indicated that susceptible places for the establishment of field hospitals in the Nasrabad area were identified. In this research, criteria such as elevation, gradient, access to roads, land cover, distance from the position of forces and artillery enemy style, visibility, access to suitable helicopter landing sites and distance from the waterways are considered. Then the weighting criteria were performed based on the experts'' opinions and the zoning plan of the appropriate places for the construction of the hospital was prepared.The results of the locating show that about 95 hectares of land in the region, which accounts for approximately 5percent of the total area, is the most suitable area for the deployment of these units according to the criteria considered
