Artificial Intelligence in Disaster Management: Approaches, Methods and Applications

Abstract

In disaster management, new methods, techniques, and approaches are being developed every day. Among these new methods and techniques, artificial intelligence has gained significant importance, making its presence felt in nearly every field today. This study addresses disaster management and its approaches in general, with a specific focus on artificial intelligence in disaster management. The aim of the study is to reveal the importance and potential of artificial intelligence in disaster management with current developments and examples from around the world. The main claim of the study is that with artificial intelligence, there has been a transformation from traditional disaster management understanding to artificial intelligence-supported technological disaster management understanding. In the study, it was concluded that artificial intelligence has a strong potential in disaster management, is adaptable to every stage of disaster management, its use is becoming increasingly widespread and brings an up-to-date perspective to disaster management.

Afet Yönetiminde Yapay Zekâ: Yaklaşımlar, Yöntemler ve Uygulamalar

Abstract

Afet yönetiminde her geçen gün yeni yöntemler, teknikler ve yaklaşımlar geliştirilmektedir. Bu yeni yöntem ve teknikler arasında günümüzde hemen hemen her alanda kendini gösteren yapay zekâ önemli bir konuma erişmiştir. Çalışma buradan hareketle genel olarak afet yönetimi ve afet yönetimindeki yaklaşımları, daha spesifik olarak da afet yönetiminde yapay zekâyı ele almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı afet yönetiminde yapay zekânın önemini, potansiyelini, dünyadaki güncel gelişmeler ve örnekler eşliğinde ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın temel iddiası, yapay zekâ ile birlikte geleneksel afet yönetimi anlayışından yapay zekâ destekli teknolojik afet yönetimi anlayışına doğru bir dönüşüm yaşandığı şeklindedir. Çalışmada afet yönetiminde yapay zekânın güçlü bir potansiyele sahip olduğu, afet yönetiminin her aşamasına uyarlanabilir olduğu, kullanımının giderek yaygınlaştığı ve afet yönetimine güncel bir bakış açısı getirdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
