Determination and Prioritization of Sub-Logistics Fields within the Scope of Earthquake Disaster Logistics

Öz

Earthquake disaster is among the natural disasters of sudden onset, and the larger the disaster, the more difficult it becomes to intervene and carry out relief operations. In order to increase the success of this challenging response process, planning, coordination and control of pre-disaster preparations and logistical activities during the response process are important. For this purpose, the concept of earthquake disaster logistics and its sub-logistics fields must be well understood. Based on this, in this study, which was conducted to determine and prioritize earthquake disaster logistics fields and sub-logistics fields, the relevant logistics fields were determined with the help of expert opinion and literature and priority values were reached with the fuzzy DEMATEL method. According to the results obtained, earthquake disaster logistics fields and sub-logistics fields were divided into three priority groups. The first priority group included information logistics with a priority value of 23,3%. The second priority group included health logistics, team shipping and equipment logistics, while the third priority group included textile logistics and food logistics. It is expected that the results of the study will contribute to relevant individuals and organizations in the pre-earthquake preparation and earthquake response process.

Deprem Afet Lojistiği Kapsamında Alt Lojistik Alanların Belirlenmesi ve Önceliklendirilmesi

Öz

Deprem afeti, ani başlayan doğal afetler arasında yer almakta ve dağılımı ne kadar büyükse, müdahalesi ve yardım operasyonlarının gerçekleştirilmesi de o kadar zorlaşmaktadır. Bu zorlu müdahale sürecinin başarısının arttırılabilmesi için afet öncesi hazırlıkların ve müdahale sürecindeki lojistik faaliyetlerin planlanması, koordinasyonu ve kontrolü önem arz etmektedir. Bunun için deprem afet lojistiği kavramının ve alt lojistik alanlarının iyi anlaşılması gerekir. Buradan hareketle, deprem afet lojistiği alanları ve alt lojistik alanlarının belirlenmesi ve önceliklendirilmesi amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada, uzman görüşü ve literatür yardımıyla, ilgili lojistik alanlar belirlenmiş ve bulanık DEMATEL yöntemi ile öncelik değerlerine ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre deprem afet lojistiği alanları ve alt lojistik alanlar, üç öncelik grubuna ayrılmıştır. Birinci öncelik grubunda %23,3 öncelik değerine sahip olan bilgi lojistiği yer almıştır. İkinci öncelik grubunda %19,7 öncelik değeri ile sağlık lojistiği, %19,4 öncelik değeri ile ekip sevkiyatı ve %16,3 öncelik değeri ile ekipman lojistiği yer alırken, üçüncü öncelik grubunda %10,8 öncelik değeri ile tekstil lojistiği ve %10,6 öncelik değeri ile gıda lojistiği yer almıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarının, deprem öncesi hazırlık ve deprem anı müdahale sürecinde ilgili kişi ve kuruluşlara katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.
