First Time

As the Covid-19 pandemic also proved, access to health care plays a crucial role in our lives. Public officials, managers and investors should consider many criteria such as public infrastructure, environment, accessibility and demand for selecting the most appropriate site for a new hospital. Thus, the hospital site selection problem is a critical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. This paper is a case study for İstanbul where a recent MCDM methodology, the fuzzy Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method, is applied to this problem for the first time. We used a comprehensive set of five main criteria and 17 sub-criteria found in the relevant literature regarding hospital site selection. These criteria were evaluated by three decision-makers to choose the hospital site from three districts. The recommendation of the fuzzy EDAS method was then compared to the outcome of a frequently used fuzzy MCDM method. The methods resulted in different site recommendations.

The selection of hospital sites is one of the most important choice a decision maker has to take so as to resist the pandemic. The decision may considerably affect the outbreak transmission in terms of efficiency , budget, etc. The main targeted objective of this study is to find the ideal location where to set up a hospital in the willaya of Oran Alg. For this reason, we have used a geographic information system coupled to the multi-criteria analysis method AHP in order to evaluate diverse criteria of physiological positioning , environmental and economical. Another objective of this study is to evaluate the advanced techniques of the automatic learning . the method of the random forest (RF) for the patterning of the hospital site selection in the willaya of Oran.

E-government can benefit developing countries by enhancing the economy, increasing access to health care, improving bureaucracy, and consolidating democracy. Sub-Saharan countries have lagged behind the world in adopting this system of communications. A variety of reasons explain the lag, namely lack of national resources and an illiterate population. Zambia serves an example of democracy on a continent where freedom and peace are lacking, but also as a country where e-government is only beginning. This evaluation is the first to examine e-government there, and is carried out at five distinct levels: Current communication systems; Zambia’s ICT policy; key central e-government websites; e-government at the provincial/municipal level; and at the individual level. As a result, this case study will evaluate how a developing country is struggling to provide government access and enhance the economy and suggests improvements needed if Zambia’s e-government will become adequate and sustainable.
