Abstract

The existence of logistics centers in a country makes an appropriate basis for the development of domestic and international freight transportation. In Iran, logistics centers include logistics cities, logistics villages, general and agricultural logistics parks that their locations have been determined in the "preparation document of the country's logistics centers", which was provided by the Office of comprehensive Plan and Transportation Models of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development of Iran, in November 2018. One of the parks among 12 general logistics parks have been located in Iran, is General Logistics Park of Semnan arena. In this paper, based on technical and specialized criteria related to the locating of logistics centers, especially of general logistics parks, and by Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) method and also Arc GIS software, the best location for the establishment of general logistics park in Semnan arena, is identified and proposed.
