The current review critically evaluates the concept of adhocism in crisis response architecture. This involves revisiting historical precedents and thoroughly examining case studies and examples to understand their effectiveness and limitations. Analyzing factual cases such as Hurricane Katrina, the Nepal Earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic helps the review illustrate the points on which smart strategies are based. Lessons learned encompass sustainability and long-term planning, coordination and communication, resourcefulness and innovation, as well as adaptability and flexibility in crisis response. The review emphasizes integrating crisis-led actions into established procedures to enhance the resilience and adaptability of future crisis solutions. This article questions how adhocracy operates within the crisis response architecture and its role in crisis management. It investigates how adhocism's adaptable approach diverges from the inflexible frameworks of conventional crisis response systems and how it adapts to the complexity and uncertainty of crises. It emphasizes that while traditional models are effective in routine emergencies, they fail to manage complex or evolving crises. Adhocism emerges as a promising, flexible, and resilient approach to tackle such uncertainties. Therefore, this research aims to elucidate how this adaptable strategy functions and to assess its role within the crisis response system.
In conclusion, the article highlights the limitations of traditional approaches and the flexibility of adhocism. It suggests embracing a more flexible, collaborative approach and integrating adhocism into standard practices for a more resilient crisis response system in the future.

KRİZ YANIT MİMARİSİNDE ADHOSİZM: VAKA ÇALIŞMALARI VE ALINAN DERSLER

Öz

Bu makale, kriz müdahale mimarisinde adhosizm kavramını eleştirel bir şekilde değerlendirmektedir. Aynı zamanda tarihsel emsallerin gözden geçirilmesini, vaka çalışmaları ve örneklerin detaylı bir şekilde incelenmesini içerir. Katrina Kasırgası, Nepal Depremi ve COVID-19 pandemisi gibi somut vakaları analiz ederek, akıllı stratejilerin temellendiği noktaları ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Ortaya çıkan veriler; sürdürülebilirlik ve uzun vadeli planlama, koordinasyon ve iletişim, kaynak yaratma ve yenilikçilik, kriz müdahalesinde uyum ve esneklik gibi konuları kapsar. Çalışma, kriz kaynaklı eylemlerin, gelecekteki kriz çözümlerinin dayanıklılığını ve uyarlanabilirliğini artırmak amacıyla yerleşik prosedürlere entegrasyonunun önemini vurgular. Bu makale, adhokrasi’nin kriz müdahale mimarisinde nasıl işlediğini ve kriz yönetimindeki rolünü sorgulamaktadır. Adhosizm'in uyarlanabilir yaklaşımının, geleneksel kriz müdahale sistemlerinin katı çerçevelerinden nasıl ayrıldığını ve krizlerin karmaşıklığına ve belirsizliğine nasıl uyum sağladığını araştırır. Geleneksel modellerin rutin acil durumlarda etkili olduğunu, ancak karmaşık veya gelişen krizleri yönetmede başarısız olduğunu vurgular. Adhosizm, bu tür belirsizliklerle başa çıkmak için umut verici, esnek ve dayanıklı bir yaklaşım olarak ortaya çıkar. Bu nedenle, bu araştırma, bu uyarlanabilir stratejinin nasıl işlediğini açıklamayı ve kriz müdahale sistemi içindeki rolünü değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Sonuç olarak, makale geleneksel yaklaşımların sınırlamalarını ve adhosizm'in esnekliğini vurgulamaktadır. Daha esnek, işbirlikçi bir yaklaşım benimsemeyi ve adhosizm'i standart uygulamalara entegre ederek gelecekte daha dayanıklı bir kriz müdahale sistemi oluşturmayı önermektedir.
