Today, logistics is effective in almost every field and plays a major role in saving time and providing financial gain. For an active logistics center, location is important as well as infrastructure. It is necessary to determine the best possible location in order to make a profit in a short time from logistics centers made with large investments. Many evaluations are made while determining the location of the logistics center. In this study, provinces with railway, port and airport connections have been selected with Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to make more effective multimodal transportation in logistics centers in our country. In order to increase the economic vitality, the criterias of "Foreign Trade (import and export quantities)", "Organized Industrial Zones", "Agricultural Organized Industrial Zones" and "Border Gates" have been determined and these criteria have been evaluated according to the opinions of experts in the field of logistics. Provinces obtained according to scenarios in GIS have been ranked using the AHP technique in line with these evaluation results and the criteria data obtained from the relevant institutions for the most appropriate logistics center location.
