Özet

In highway construction projects, the location selection of site layout is a critical process in terms of project efficiency, cost and time management. This selection is a complex process that requires consideration of many factors. In this study, a survey is conducted for the problem of selecting a suitable construction site location along the route and a multi-criteria evaluation is performed with the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. Literature review results and interviews with experts in the field are effective in determining the factors that are effective in site selection. In order to determine the importance levels of the factors, interviews and questionnaires are conducted with experts in the field. In the application phase of the questionnaire; the participants are asked to evaluate the relative importance of the factors under the main and sub-criteria through pairwise comparisons.  The collected data are analyzed with the AHP method. AHP is a method that evaluates the criteria numerically by considering complex decision-making processes in a hierarchical structure. With this method, it is aimed to express the priority ranking of the factors related to the selection of construction site locations problem numerically and consequently to support the decision with mathematical data.
