| Summary: | In todaychr('39')s world, natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, crises such as terrorist attacks and protests threaten the lives of many people. Hence, in this research we present a mathematical modeling that provide efficient and effective model to locate temporary depot, equitable distribution of resources and movement of injured people to health centers, with the aim of developing the multi-objective model and considering multiple central depot, multiple temporary depot and several type of relief items in the model . This paper is considered certainty state and uncertainty of influencing parameters of the models in robust optimization for three different levels uncertainty and in different size with consideration of traditional goals function and humanitarian purposes functions simultaneously. The model has been solved with multi-objective Particle Swarm optimization algorithm (MOPSO) and GAMS software to validate the model. Some numerical examples are presented. In Addition, we present sensitivity analyzes of model and study the relationship of the number of temporary depot location and the number of injured people to move to health centers and the number of uncovered damaged points. |
