Optimization of Medical Relief Shelter Location in Disaster Condition: A Case Study in Jakarta, Indonesia

Nora Nisrina, Komarudin, Muhammad Mustafa Ismail Turner

[ABSTRACT ]

Indonesia, like many other countries, frequently faces natural disasters, and its capital, Jakarta, does not stray from this trend. Despite this, Jakarta's budgetary priorities often prioritize other areas over disaster relief. Consequently, one significant impact of natural disasters is the emergence of victims requiring accessible health services. which are often insufficient. This combination of budget constraints and healthcare service inadequacies intensifies the demand for accessible medical relief shelters that can be deployed within a certain budget. Integer programming is used to model a Facility Location Problem that meets these criteria. An optimal solution is found using this model. However, there are some shortcomings of the current model that can be improved in future research.
