Global location selection for a dental clinic with SWARA-WASPAS methods and application for an oral and dental health center

In this study, SWARA and WASPAS methods, which are among the multi-criteria decision-making techniques, have been applied to the solution of the location selection problem, which can be considered as the first step of health sector investments for an international dental clinic. Alternative countries that formed by the multi-criteria decision making model established within the scope of the study were evaluated on the basis of the determined criteria. After all calculations, most suitable alternative was chosen. Within the scope of the thesis, a multi-criteria decision-making model consisting of 17 sub-criteria and 6 alternatives along with 4 main criteria were created and the proposed model was solved with integrated SWARA-WASPAS methods.
