The establishment of emergency medical services and evacuation systems can be said to be part of a direct effort to reduce human damage in disasters and emergencies. In this regard, countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia define and utilize the concept of an assembly point from a variety of disaster situations, and domestic discussions on introduction are progressing in stages. There is a lot of discussion regarding the location selection of shelters, but the development of location selection criteria and methodology must be preceded in order to successfully link the function of the assembly point and the establishment of the evacuation facilities including the existing shelters. This study aims to develop a methodology to minimize transfer time by assembling paramedics and local residents to the appointed place in case of an accident. In addition, it aims to develop a technique for physical positioning of the assembly point to achieve this purpose. According to this research objective, the criteria for physical location selection of assembly points were derived, and a methodology for selecting candidate sites was developed to improve emergency medical services in densely populated areas.
