Disasters caused by natural hazards or socio-political crises pose widespread damage on built environment resulted with loss of housing. To meet accommodation needs of disaster victims, temporary accommodation units are a common solution not only to bridge the gap until permanent housing are ready to use but also to provide physical and psychological rehabilitation. As post-disaster accommodation units are absolutely diversified from the housing production in usual conditions with respect to necessity of prompt readiness and instant as well as extensive response, the management of provision, design and construction of them require rapid and organizational evaluation. In an ideal disaster management process, it is critical to define decision criteria of temporary accommodation units in ‘preparedness’ period to achieve a rational decision-making process in limited time of ‘reconstruction’ and ‘recovery’ phase. In literature, there are several studies on decision criteria of temporary accommodation units, yet they generally concentrate on a particular feature. The aim of this study is to generate an extensive and holistic decision criteria matrix to guide decision makers in evaluation of post-disaster temporary accommodation units.

Evaluation of temporary housing units with multi-criteria decision making methods Akdede, Nil; Ay, Bekir Özer; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018) Disasters caused by natural hazards or socio-political crises pose widespread damage or mass migration on built environment resulted with loss of housing. To meet accommodation needs of disaster victims, post disaster temporary accommodation units, including temporary sheltering and temporary housing units, are common solutions not only to bridge the gap until permanent housing are ready to use but also to provide physical and psychological rehabilitation. As post-disaster accommodation units are absolutely...
Pre-Positioning Disaster Response Facilities and Relief Items RENKLİ, Cigdem; Duran, Serhan (2015-07-04) Large-scale disasters cause enormous damage to people living in the affected areas. Providing relief quickly to the affected is a critical issue in recovering the effects of a disaster. Pre-disaster planning has an important role on reducing the arrival time of relief items to the affected areas and efficiently allocating them. In this study, a mixed integer programming model is proposed in order to pre-position warehouses throughout a potential affected area and determine the amount of relief items to be h...
An experimental study on the behavior of box-shaped culverts buried in sand under dynamic excitations Ülgen, Deniz; Özkan, M. Yener; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) Seismic safety of underground structures (culvert, subway, natural gas and water sewage systems) plays a major role in sustainable public safety and urban development. Very few experimental data are currently available and there is not generally accepted procedure to estimate the dynamic pressures acting on underground structures. This study aims to enhance the state of prevalent information necessary in understanding the dynamic behavior of box culverts and the stresses acting under dynamic excitations thr...
A Proposal for a Comprehensive Approach to Safer Non-engineered Houses Narafu, Tatsuo; Ishiyama, Yuji; Okazaki, Kenji; Ando, Shoichi; Imai, Hiroshi; Pribadi, Krishna S.; Dixit, Amod Mani; Ahmad, Najib; Ali, Qaisar; Türer, Ahmet (Informa UK Limited, 2010-11-01) Reducing earthquake disasters in non-engineered houses is an acute issue because they are a main cause of human casualties worldwide. Since non-engineered houses differ from engineered houses in many respects, the authors conducted a comparative study and clarified the characteristics of the former. Based on this study, they found that reducing disasters in non-engineered houses would require appropriate seismic technologies to be adopted by communities and effective channels to disseminate technical knowle...
An Optimization-Based Decision-Support Tool for Post-Disaster Debris Operations Lorca, Alvaro; Çelik, Melih; Ergun, Ozlem; Keskinocak, Pinar (2017-06-01) Debris generated by disasters can hinder relief efforts and result in devastating economic, environmental, and health problems. In this study, we present a decision-support tool employing analytical models to assist disaster and waste management officials with decisions regarding collection, transportation, reduction, recycling, and disposal of debris. The tool enables optimizing and balancing the financial and environmental costs, duration of the collection and disposal operations, landfill usage, and the ...
