A new mathematical model for locating a single semiobnoxious facility in the plane is proposed. Three objectives are taken into consideration. The first one maximizes the efficiency of the service provided by the facility to some users, by minimizing the sum of weighted distances between the facility and those users. The second one minimizes the social cost caused by the undesirable effects produced by the facility, by minimizing the sum of the repulsions of the affected people (as they feel it). The third one aims to distribute the repulsions fairly (as equal as possible) among the affected people. To prove that the new model can be tackled in practice, two recent general-purpose multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, MOEA/D and FEMOEA, are suggested to obtain a discrete approximation of its Pareto-front. A computational study shows that both algorithms are suitable to cope with the problem.
