Abstract
This study aims to find the desirable location of welfare facilities for the regional demand. As factors of facility planning, travel time to welfare facilities and waiting time for servies are introduced. Waitingtime is calculated based on the queuing theory. We propose the system to search the desirable location of facilities which is obtained by minimizing time to travel and wait for receiving services. The system is applied to Tokushima city and show the location plan of facilities. Also, we compare this result with the location plan which is obtained by another system without considering waiting time. As a result, the facility location based on the objective of minimization of travel and waiting time is more effective than that in consideration of only travel time.
