Abstract

Disasters are events that occur outside of human control, which may lead to loss of life and property. Turkey is one of the countries signiŞcantly affected by natural disasters, especially earthquakes, floods and landslides. Effective disaster management is needed to reduce the impact of natural disasters. As a part of risk management, the determination of the locations of the facilities to be used for disaster response personnel, materials, vehicles, etc. is a strategic level decision that can directly affect the success of intervention after the disasters. In this study, the problem of locating of distribution center for three provinces in TRA1 Region Erzurum, Erzincan, Bayburt was addressed in order to determine the most suitable distribution center location within the scope of disaster logistics. In this context, Stochastic Multiple Criteria Admissibility Analysis-2 SMAA-2 method was utilized in this study due to difficulties in expressing the preferences of the experts in the interviews and also because the criteria weights and the exact criterion values of alternative province couldn't be reached

AFET LOJİSTİĞİ TESİS YERİ SEÇİMİ PROBLEMİ: TRA1 BÖLGESİ İÇİN BİR UYGULAMA

Abstract

Afetler, büyük oranda insan kontrolü dışında gerçekleşen, can ve mal kayıplarına neden olabilen olaylardır. Türkiye, başta deprem, su baskını ve heyelan olmak üzere doğal afetlerden önemli ölçüde etkilenen ülkeler arasındadır. Doğal afetlerin etkilerini azaltmak için etkin bir afet yönetimine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Risk yönetiminin bir parçası olarak, afetlere müdahalede kullanılacak kaynakların personel, malzeme, araç, vb. bulunacağı tesislerin yerlerinin belirlenmesi, afet sonrasındaki müdahalenin başarısını doğrudan etkileyebilecek, stratejik seviyede bir karardır. Bu çalışmada, afet lojistiği kapsamında en uygun dağıtım merkezi yerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla TRA1 Bölgesi’ndeki üç il Erzurum, Erzincan, Bayburt için dağıtım merkezi yer seçimi problemi ele alınmıştır. Bu kapsamda uzmanlarla yapılan görüşmelerde uzmanların tercihlerini net olarak ifade etmekte zorlanmaları, kriter ağırlıklarının ve alternatif illerin kesin kriter değerlerine ulaşılamaması nedeniyle bu çalışmada, Stokastik Çok Kriterli Kabul Edilebilirlik Analizi-2 SMAA-2 yöntemi kullanılmıştır
