GAME THEORY APPLICATIONS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT RESEARCH

Year 2022, Volume: 02 Issue: 02, 81 - 95, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Natural disasters are sudden, dangerous events that affect nations and cause disasters in the human life. The research on effective planning and response to natural disasters is vital. Managing effective humanitarian operations is an important part of disaster management. Therefore, research on effective planning and response to natural disasters is quite important. In this paper, the literature on disaster management has been categorized. The studies on disaster management were examined using scopus and web of science databases. Statistical analysis of eligible studies selected according to keywords was made with the VOS viewer. As a result of the article analysis, it was seen that the articles on the subject decreased in the last 2 years, and the analyzes revealed that more studies should be done and that there is a work gap on the subject. It is aimed to present this study as a contribution to disaster management studies and literature.

AFET YÖNETİMİ ARAŞTIRMALARINDA OYUN TEORİSİ UYGULAMALARI

Year 2022, Volume: 02 Issue: 02, 81 - 95, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Doğal afetler, ulusları etkileyen ve insan hayatında felaketlere neden olan ani, tehlikeli olaylardır. Etkili planlama ve doğal afetlerle müdahale araştırmaları hayati önem taşımaktadır. Etkili insani yardım operasyonlarını yönetmek, afet yönetiminin önemli bir parçasıdır. Bu nedenle, etkili planlama ve doğal afetlere müdahale araştırmaları oldukça önemlidir. Bu yazıda, afet yönetimi ile ilgili literatür kategorize edilmiştir. Scopus ve Web of Science veri tabanları kullanılarak afet yönetimi ile ilgili çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Anahtar kelimelere göre seçilen uygun çalışmaların istatistiksel analizi VOS Viewer ile yapılmıştır. Yapılan makale analizi sonucunda konu ile ilgili makalelerin son 2 yılda azaldığı görülmüş olup, yapılan analizler daha fazla çalışma yapılması gerektiğini ve konu ile ilgili bir açık olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmanın afet yönetimi çalışmalarına ve literatüre bir katkı olarak sunulması amaçlanmaktadır.
