Development of the Method for Territorial Community Formation Based on Multi-criteria Swarm Algorithm Approach

Abstract

The object of research is the formation of territorial communities based on swarm intelligence. In the process of research, a problem is identified that arises in the formation of territorial communities inUkraine, namely the unstable political situation due to the introduction of many reforms.In order to solve this problem, the aim is creation of an automated approach to the formation of territorial communities according to certain evaluation criteria.The proposed method is used on the example of Zastavnivsky district of the Chernivtsi region (Ukraine) on such criteria as: the availability of hospitals, fire departments, police departments, kindergartens, and social institutions. With the help of swarm algorithms, 5 administrative centers and 19 settlements are created, satisfying the conditions of the task. The gray wolf and the bats algorithms formed a community and the center is determined, and the method of multi-criteria optimization optimizes the parameters of administrative units.Geo-information technologies, statistical data of settlements of the Zastavnivskyi district of the Chernivtsi region, gray wolf and bats algorithms and the method of multi-criteria optimization make it possible to obtain the result of the process of formation of territorial communities of the proposed method. Due to these aspects, an automated process of forming territorial communities is obtained
