Critical situations such as man-made disasters, mass migrations, war and natural disasters that occur today bring with them many problems and needs that need to be rehabilitated. Most of the urgent needs that arise are situations that require many additional structures such as shelter, education units and storage. However, the trace that every construction and structuring leaves on our world is too great to ignore. In addition, with increasing environmental damage, climate changes and resource depletion, it has become even more important to reduce the negative effects on our world as much as possible. In addition to the effects of the construction industry on regular buildings, the effects of temporary structures hastily established to create an evacuation system and to meet needs in emergency situations, are even more harmful and important when compared to the lifespan of permanent structures. This is due to the fact that emergency temporary structures are currently designed and constructed without end-of-life planning, and without considering the potential secondary effects of the materials used, aimed for fast construction rather than sustainability. This study aims to serve as a guide for designers and those in the construction industry, ensuring the most effective use of the limited time during the emergency period and assisting in the design of sustainable structures. By creating a design flow through literature reviews, research, data collection and case study design solutions, it is aimed to help designers make the most effective decisions in terms of sustainability and to help the design achieve the result without the need to change each decision later. Thus, emergency temporary structures can be more sustainable designs and the use of the limited time, which is one of the most important factors of emergencies, can be used more efficiently.
