This paper addresses the problem of locating a telephone switching center at new establishing city or town. There have been several studies on the location of telephone switching center at an existing telephone network to cope with the expanding subsciber's demand, in most of which only the economic factors were considered and was determined where the switching center is established in order to minimize the total cost. This paper, However, deals with the social factors as well as the economic ones. We develop a location model considered these two factors simultaneously by using a fuzzy approach. Finally, we apply the model to locate a new telephone switching center at the Haeundae where the Pusan City intends to construct a new town.
