Abstract
The purpose of this study is to propose new methods for analyzing and evaluating the suitability for location of obnoxious facilities based on distances. We categorized allocation problems of those facilities by objective functions of optimization, then adopted Gini Coefficient as equality index to distance between the facilities and the inhabitants and examined the its behavior on some typical shapes. In addition, we formulated environmental condition such as air pollution and proposed quantitative method of comparison of candidate sites for the facilities in the case of a garbage incineration plant. As a result, parameters of each factor in determining the site for the new plant can be estimated at Meguro Ward in Tokyo by comparing the existing site to the others.
