With the developing technology and trade volume, the concept of time becomes one of the most
important concepts affecting the cost. For this reason, logistics and freight village concepts are
important concepts to be considered to maintain order in trade and increase speed while
reducing costs. In addition to literature surveys on this subject, action plans and strategic plans
of public institutions were also examined. Accordingly, the logistics sector was identified as
one of the priority sectors to work in Turkey. In this respect, the case study of the "Improving
Investment Environment with Geographic Information Systems" project, which was prepared
under the supervision of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, was conducted on the
logistics sector. The project aimed to determine the most suitable areas for sectoral facility
investments. The results of the literature were examined in determining the factors affecting the
location of the logistics centers. In the analysis phase of the project, the interface developed
based on the integration of GIS and spatial MCDM techniques was used. In this study, the AHP
method was used as the MCDM method. Through this interface, many GIS operations were
implemented in a hierarchical sequence and cost surface maps were created. Besides, a
workflow chart and methodology for site selection across the case study is presented.
