• Abstract:

  This paper proposes a new

  methodology for a multi parameter approach

  using the p-median. The optimized solution

  must fulfill the following criteria: It must minimize

  distances between cities without a university to

  a city that has a university; It must prioritize cities

  with a higher population; It must prioritize cities

  with a lower United Nation Human Development

  Index. The use of a multiparametric approach

  was only possible by introducing the concept

  of a generalized distance. The results compare

  the existing distribution of campuses of the

  Federal system with the best location resulting

  from the multi parameter method proposed

  here. Locations for expansion of the current

  established university in Amazonas State,

   

  Brazil, are proposed.
