## 4 Application of the Proposed Methodology Under Uncertainty
### Ranking Cities  
The 30 metropolitan cities in Turkiye are listed in this section by applying the method stated in the previous section. Table 4 presents the application results of the proposed integrated method. While the first column corresponds to the metropolitan cities in the country, the first row presents the results of the proposed method according to all criteria and each criterion separately. In other words, the second and third columns present the results of all indicators; the rest columns correspond to the results of each criterion separately. With an overall OPS of 0.602 out of a maximum 1, Istanbul is one of the most favorable environments for logistics centers based on all criteria. Istanbul ranks highest on legal risk, transportation infrastructure, information technology infrastructure and social pillars. On the other hand, it performed the lowest performance on the safety, hazards risk and environmental impact and utilization main pillars. It is followed by Konya (score of 0.411) and Ankara (score of 0.342). On the contrary, Tekirdag ranks lowest with a score of 0.261. Kayseri (score of 0.268) and Eskisehir (score of 0.269) are computed as the least conducive environments. \begin{table}

**Cites** & **OPS** & **Rank  
Considering the economic criterion, Ankara ranks first (score of 0.705), followed by Istanbul (score of 0.624) and Antalya (score of 0.467), respectively. The main reason for the fruitful economic environment of these cities is that the sub-criteria of domestic material consumption, investment volume, maintenance costs and number of businesses have better values. Moreover, Mardin, Hatay and Kocaeli rank lowest performance in terms of economic criterion due to higher energy consumption, higher disposal costs of hazardous wastes and lower number of enterprises. Regarding the safety criterion, Mardin stands out as one of the safer environments, with an overall OPS score of 0.997. It is followed by Erzurum (score of 0.977) and Van (score of 0.974). At the other end of the spectrum Istanbul (score of 0.0), Ankara (score of 0.659) and Izmir (score of 0.661) are among the least safe locations in terms of occupational safety and accidents.
