dc.description.abstractFires in rural and urban areas cause significant loss of life and property within minutes. For this reason, it is very important to respond effectively to fires in a short time. Fire stations need to be placed in appropriate places to reach the scene as soon as possible. As a result of the research on this subject, some criteria are determined by making many researches for the fire station location selection. Multi -Criteria Decision Making method is used to effectively solve the problems in which the determined qualitative or quantitative criteria are evaluated. This method is divided into two: the methods used to determine the weights of the criteria and the methods used to rank the weights. In this study, FUCOM-F (Fuzzy Full Consistency Method), which is one of the methods of ordering the weights, was used (Table A). Purpose: In this section, it is aimed to establish fire stations by taking into account the location selection criteria expressed mathematically, so that fire trucks can reach the scene in the shortest and most effective way. Theory and Methods: In this study, FUCOM-F (Fuzzy Full Consistency Method), which is one of the methods of ordering the weights, was used. Results: In the study, firstly, by taking literature research and expert opinions, 6 main criteria and a total of 10 sub -criteria depending on the 1st, 4th and 5th main criteria were determined for the establishment of fire stations. These criteria were then ranked in order of importance using a fuzzy linguistic scale. In the 3rd step, comparative preferences were made in pairs of criteria. As a result of comparative preferences, the fuzzy weights of the criteria and, in the last step, their final clarified weights were calculated. Conclusion: In this study, it was estimated that fire stations, which will be established by taking into account the stated order of importance, will be effective in minimizing both loss of life and property loss in places where they can intervene in the shortest and most effective way in case of a fire incident.
