Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we focus on facility location problems that arise in the public sector. In particular, we consider selected problems in transportation, health care, and education—important sectors of public service. The adequate consideration of demand in these models is of core interest in this chapter. Besides a discussion of selected model formulations we provide a quantitative and qualitative overview of recent publications in the field.
