“…Jadwal tersebut berupa jadwal khusus untuk para sukarelawan yang bersifat spesifik untuk masalah tesebut. Garcia & Rahadi [14], [15] juga mengoptimalkan penugasan sukarelawan menggunakan kombinasi constraint programming dan goal programming, sedangkan [3] dan [20] mengoptimalkan penugasannya menggunakan goal programming. Dalam penelitian ini, masalah penugasan 256 sukarelawan di Kabupaten Purworejo diformulasikan ke dalam bentuk integer programming dan diselesaikan menggunakan software LINGO.…”

Kabupaten Purworejo termasuk salah satu kabupaten rawan bencana di Jawa Tengah. Daerah rawan bencana membutuhkan banyak tenaga sukarelawan ketika bencana terjadi. Saat ini, sukarelawan di Kabupaten Purworejo memiliki latar belakang profesi yang beragam dan masih terbatas jumlahnya. Keberagaman profesi dan keterbatasan jumlah tersebut membutuhkan pengaturan yang baik sehingga sukarelawan dapat bekerja secara optimal. Penelitian ini membahas penjadwalan tenaga sukarelawan di Kabupaten Purworejo yang dimodelkan menggunakan integer programming. Fungsi objektif masalah ini adalah memaksimumkan preferensi sukarelawan terhadap sektor kerja, shift waktu, dan jarak antara lokasi domisili sukarelawan dengan titik lokasi bencana. Penyelesaian masalah ini menggunakan software LINGO 17.0 menghasilkan jadwal sukarelawan selama satu periode yang memenuhi semua kendala dan memaksimumkan preferensi sukarelawan.

“…Most of the uncertainties that affect post-disaster operations also affect the planning and scheduling of manpower" (p. 11). Even less is published on planning and scheduling of volunteer labor, with a few exceptions (Mayorga et al, 2017;Lassiter et al, 2015;Falasca and Zobel, 2012;Garcia and Rabadi, 2011;Sampson, 2006;Gordon and Erkut, 2004). Volunteer labor assignment problems are different from traditional labor assignment problems as methods that work with paid labor cannot be easily adapted to unpaid labor especially in emergency scenarios by non-profit organizations (Sampson, 2006).…”

“…However, it was tailored to the festival activities making it less applicable to other events and organizations. Garcia and Rabadi (2011) developed constraint and goal programming models to enable a church schedule its weekly operations utilizing volunteer teams. Each team has its own scheduling objective: either to maximize participation or the amount of time each volunteer has "off."…”

Purpose Every year volunteers play a crucial role in disaster responses around the world. Volunteer management is known to be more complex than managing a paid workforce, and this is only made worse by the uncertainty of rapidly changing conditions of crisis scenarios. The purpose of this paper is to address the critical problem of assigning tasks to volunteers and other renewable and non-renewable resources simultaneously, particularly under high-load conditions. These conditions are described by a significant mismatch between available volunteer resources and demands or by frequent changes in requirements. Design/methodology/approach Through a combination of literature reviews and interviews with managers from several major volunteer organizations, six key characteristics of crisis volunteer resource allocation problems are identified. These characteristics are then used to develop a general mixed integer programming framework for modeling these problems. Rather than relying on probabilistic resource or demand characterizations, this framework addresses the constantly changing conditions inherent to this class of problems through a dynamic resource reallocation-based approach that minimizes the undesirable impacts of changes while meeting the desired and changing objectives. The viability of this approach for solving problems of realistic size and scale is demonstrated through a large set of computational experiments. Findings Using a common commercial solver, optimal solutions to the allocation and reallocation problems were consistently obtained in short timespans for a wide variety of problems that have realistic sizes and characteristics. Originality/value The proposed approach has not been previously addressed in the literature and represents a computationally tractable method to allocate volunteer, renewable and non-renewable resources to tasks in highly volatile crisis scenarios without requiring probabilistic resource or demand characterizations.

“…Personal and social characteristics influence individuals' beliefs in organizational goals, values, and abilities, as well as their efforts to achieve these goals [16]. This explained how volunteers' personal and social features could be regarded as fundamental criteria related to action plans required for disaster management [17].…”

Background: Hospitals need volunteers to help the injured people during disasters. Thus, it is necessary to prepare some criteria for selecting volunteers. The purpose of this study was to determine and prioritize individual and social criteria for selection of local volunteers in hospitals before disasters, the volunteers who provide health services for victims in disasters. Materials and Methods:This was an analytical descriptive study in which a researchermade questionnaire was used to collect the data in 2015. The statistical population consisted of emergency and health managers and experts in hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The sample were selected using Cochrane methodology and calculated as 180 subjects. The data were analyzed through calculating mean, standard deviation, 1-sample t-test, and Friedman test using SPSS.Results: Based on the results, most personal and social criteria were significant (P≤0.05) and important in volunteers' selection. The results showed that the most important personal criteria were physical ability and fitness, practical expertise, and voluntary attendance experience with the mean ranks of 4.03, 3.94, and 3.77, respectively. Also among social criteria, prompt response with the mean rank of 7.26, responsibility with 6.25, and conscience with 6.06 have been determined as important factors in the selection of volunteers for health services of hospitals in disasters.Conclusion: Hospitals could select volunteers based on the determined criteria. Personal criteria of physical fitness and practical expertise along with social criteria of prompt response and responsibility were reliable norms that based on them, the best volunteers could be chosen to perform health duties and decrease injuries in relief and health services.
