A spatial decision support model is proposed in this study to determine the prioritized construction sequence of urban fire stations. Two simulation environments were established: one with only existing fire stations and another with both existing and proposed stations as fire service supply points (FSSPs). Response times were simulated using real-time traffic data. The construction urgency of the proposed fire stations was assessed using the construction sequence scoring equation. To validate the model, a case study of Shaoyang City, China, was conducted. A total of 30,968 fire service demand points were gathered, with 20 existing fire stations and 13 proposed fire stations designated as FSSPs. Twenty-five evaluation scenarios were established, resulting in 1,297,025 valid simulation results. The scoring results revealed a maximum score of 119,320, a minimum of 23,420, and an average of 61,412. Based on these results, recommendations for the construction sequence of proposed fire stations in Shaoyang City were made, and the improvements in fire protection levels were calculated. By prioritizing the construction of higher-performance fire stations, this model maximizes resource efficiency and enhances public safety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi14060229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]],"date-time":"2025-06-10T09:59:14Z","timestamp":1749549554000},"page":"229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Spatial Decision Support Model for Fire Station Construction Prioritization Under Resource Constraints"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, China University of Mining and Technology, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9836-9871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dingli","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, China University of Mining and Technology, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diping","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, China University of Mining and Technology, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2876-2993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guohua","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, China University of Mining and Technology, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, China University of Mining and Technology, Shenzhen 518057, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"7552601","article-title":"Smart city public safety intelligent early warning and detection","volume":"2022","author":"Sha","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sci.
