AHP and FAHP Decision Making Techniques with Application to Selection of Disaster Storage Location in Denizli

Earthquakes which happened in the world caused financial and emotional damages and these damages are closely associated with development level of a country. As a developing country, Turkey have lots of provinces which are situated in first-degree seismic zone. By virtue of this case in the last century there were 193 devastating earthquakes endangered Turkey with respect to economical. In 1999 in Golcuk, more recently in Van and Simav there were massive earthquakes have been affected region and all of Turkey.
