“…Facility location research in humanitarian relief contexts has been extensively carried out in the past decade using advanced operations research techniques. According to Kılcı, Kara, and Bozkaya (), facilities are in the form of relief material warehouses, emergency medical centres, and shelter sites. Warehouse location models have been proposed by Rodríguez‐Espíndola, Albores, and Brewster (), Duran, Gutierrez, and Keskinocak (), Balcik and Beamon (), and so forth.…”

This paper explores the location and relocation decision problem of temporary shelters under uncertain damage situations in humanitarian relief contexts. The article proposes a multicriteria decision support framework based on fuzzy sets, analytic hierarchy process, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution, and weighted goal programming to address the issue of temporary shelter planning. The paper formulates a multiobjective location–relocation model that considers multiple objectives of risk, number of sites, unmet demand, qualitative suitability of locations, unmet demand, and nature of land ownership while generating solutions under different scenarios of earthquake damage. The robustness and performance of the proposed model are illustrated using a real case study of 2015 Nepal earthquake. The framework can benefit governments and humanitarian agencies in high‐seismic areas for adequate shelter planning under damage uncertainties.

“…Ng et al [25] propose a hybrid bi-level model to minimize both the total evacuation time and the individual evacuation time. Kılcı et al [26] formulate a model which incorporates both the distance and capacity constraints of a shelter. Their model determines the location of shelter areas while taking shelter area utilizations into account.…”

Abstract:In recent years, extreme natural hazards threaten cities more than ever due to contemporary society's high vulnerability in cities. Hence, local governments need to implement risk mitigation and disaster operation management to enhance disaster resilience in cities. Transforming existing open spaces within cities into emergency shelters is an effective method of providing essential life support and an agent of recovery in the wake of disasters. Emergency shelters planning must identify suitable locations for shelters and reasonably allocate evacuees to those shelters. In this paper, we first consider both the buildings' post-disaster condition and the human choice factor that affect evacuees' decision, and propose a forecasting method to estimate the time-varying shelter demand. Then we formulate an integrated location-allocation model that is used sequentially: an emergency shelter location model to satisfy the time-varying shelter demand in a given urban area with a goal of minimizing the total setup cost of locating the shelters and an allocation model that allocates the evacuees to shelters with a goal of minimizing their total evacuation distance. We also develop an efficient algorithm to solve the model. Finally, we propose an emergency shelters planning based on a case study of Shanghai, China.

“…The analysis results in their studies can be utilized by the government as a decision-support tool for decision makings in earthquake recovery and reconstruction programs. Kılcı et al (2015) explored the need to locate temporary shelter areas in an earthquake disaster. They introduced a new methodology for selecting the location of temporary shelter sites for Kartal, a district of Istanbul, Turkey.…”

This article introduces a framework for the multi-criteria satisfaction assessment of the spatial distribution of urban emergency shelters. A GIS-based analytic hierarchy process approach was utilized to conduct the assessment based on selected criteria layers for daytime and nighttime scenarios, respectively. The layers were generated from high-precision land use data based on highresolution aerial images and census data. Considering the uncertainty in criteria weighting, a spatial sensitivity analysis was undertaken for deriving more accurate results. The feasibility of the framework was tested on a case study in Jing'an District, Shanghai, China. The assessment results show that both at nighttime and during daytime, even if all potentially available shelters are open, the demand in large areas can only be marginally satisfied or not satisfied, especially in the northern, eastern, and central parts of Jing'an District. The quantitative analysis of the satisfaction conditions of the buildings or land parcels and the affected people, especially children and the elderly, shows a low satisfaction level of shelter services in these areas. The satisfaction assessment of emergency shelters can help government decision makers find low satisfaction areas of sheltering services and support further locationallocation optimization of urban emergency shelters.
