ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Öz

The rapid development of digital technologies has driven significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) applications, expanding their use across various fields. One notable area is disaster management, where AI is leveraged to strengthen societal resilience and protect communities from disasters. However, some AI projects may fall short of expectations during implementation, often resulting in increased costs, time, and labor due to their inherent complexity. In response, this study presents a model that explores the application of AI throughout the disaster management process, utilizing secondary data sources. The objective is to contribute to both academic literature and disaster management practices by supporting disaster prevention, reducing loss of life and property, and enabling more efficient and timely interventions. Furthermore, this study aims to serve as a valuable resource not only for researchers in the field but also for decision-makers and practitioners, offering a concise reference for more informed, data-driven actions.

AFET YÖNETİMİNDE YAPAY ZEKA DESTEĞİ

Öz

Dijital teknolojilerin artan oranlı gelişimi yapay zekâ uygulamalarının ilerlemesine ve birçok farklı alanda kullanılmasına yol açmıştır. Bu alanlardan biri de afet yönetimidir. Toplumu afete karşı dayanıklı kılmak ve korumak için yapay zekâ uygulamaları kullanılmaktadır. Ancak bazı yapay zekâ projeleri uygulamada beklentileri karşılayamamakta hatta var olan karmaşıklığı ile daha fazla maliyete, zamana, iş gücüne yol açabilmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma ikincil veri kaynakları ile afet sürecinde yapay zekâ kullanımını inceleyen bir model geliştirmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı afetlerin önlenmesine, can ve mal kayıplarının en aza indirilmesine, daha acil ve etkin müdahaleye olanak sağlayan afet yönetim modeline ve literatüre katkı sunmaktır. Bu noktada çalışma, ilgili alanda araştırma yapacak araştırmacılara ek bir kaynak olmanın yanı sıra karar vericiler ve uygulayıcılar için de özet kaynak niteliği taşımaktadır.
