Abstract(s)
Sectorization can be regarded as a division of a territory into smaller regions
to deal with a complex problem involving multiple-criteria.
Resectorization intends to achieve another sectorization, according to some
new conditions but avoiding substantial changes.
An example of this can be the distribution of geographical areas by fire
brigades. In Portugal, fire brigades must protect and rescue the population in
the areas surrounding their fire stations. So we will use the current sectorization,
the geographic and population characteristics of the areas and the fire brigades’
response capacity to provide an optimised resectorization, in order to decrease
rescue time.
To achieve that, we will use a decision support system using different optimisation
methods, such as Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA
II), which provides an effective sectorization concerning compactness and equilibrium
criteria.
