	%X In an urban area the location allocation of emergency
services mobile units, such as ambulances, police patrol cars must be
designed so as to achieve a prompt response to demand locations.
In this paper the partition of a given urban network into distinct
sub-networks is performed such that the vertices in each component
are close and simultaneously the sums of the corresponding
population in the sub-networks are almost uniform. The objective
here is to position appropriately in each sub-network a mobile
emergency unit in order to reduce the response time to the demands.
A mathematical model in framework of graph theory is developed.
In order to clarify the corresponding method a relevant numerical
example is presented on a small network.
