COVID-19 virüsü tüm dünyayı etkilemiş ve pandemi ilan edilmesine neden olmuştur. Virüsün yayılmasını önlemek için maske ve dezenfektan gibi tıbbi ürünlerin kullanımı teşvik edilmiş ve hatta bazı yerlerde zorunlu hale getirilmiştir. Bu durum, kullanılan tıbbi ürünlerin atıklarını halk sağlığı için bir tehdit haline getirmektedir. Virüs içerme riski nedeniyle kullanılmış tıbbi ürünlerin bertarafından önce nerede toplanacağı önemli bir karar haline gelmiştir. Yer seçimi yapılırken göz önünde bulundurulması gereken birçok kriter bulunabilir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de tıbbi ürünler için bertaraf işlemi öncesi geçici toplama yeri seçimindeki kriterlerin değerlendirilmesini içermektedir. Bu yerlerin seçiminde kullanılmak üzere on değerlendirme kriteri belirlenmiştir. Kriterlerin ağırlıkları, bir çok kriterli bir karar verme yöntemi olan bulanık PIPRECIA yöntemi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre en önemli değerlendirme kriterinin yerleşim alanlarına uzaklık olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının tıbbi atık yönetimine katkı sağlaması amaçlanmaktadır.

Assessment of Site Selection Criteria for Medical Waste during COVID-19 Pandemic

Öz

The COVID-19 virus has affected the whole world, causing it to be declared a pandemic. To prevent the spread of the virus, the use of medical products such as masks and disinfectants was encouraged and even mandatory in some places. This situation makes the waste of medical products used a threat to public health. It becomes an important decision where to depot the used medical products before disposal due to the risk of containing the virus. There are many criteria to consider during the selection of a site. This study includes the evaluation of criteria for the selection of pre-disposal temporary landfill site for medicinal products in Turkey. Eight criteria were determined to be used in the selection of these sites. The weights of the criteria were calculated using the fuzzy Pivot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment (PIPRECIA) method, which is a multi-criteria decision making method. According to the results, it was concluded that the most important evaluation criterion was distance to residential areas. The results of this study are aimed to contribute to the management of medical waste.
