“…Multi-hazard studies are based on the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique, which combines information from multiple levels to result in a single evaluation index [ 19 ]. To conduct a multidimensional analysis, it is necessary to employ a scientific methodology that enables the integrationof a large number of indicators that serve as conditioning factors or alternatives [ 20 ] to generate an evaluation index. Therefore, the method based on using a Geographic Information System (GIS) by integrating MCDM techniques allows combining geographic data with value judgments to obtain information for decision-making [ 21 ].…”

“…The research of criterion weights only with the AHP method can be considered as a direction that needs to be developed in the study [21]. Albulescu et al (2022) studied MCDM approaches to assess the systemic risk to earthquakes of urban centers in the Southeast region of Romania.…”

Earthquake is one of the most destructive disasters for people, both materially and morally. Some precautions to be taken before an earthquake reduce this harmful effect. Earthquake risk assessment is one of these precautions. Earthquake risk assessment, which is an interdisciplinary topic, is a problem suitable for clustering and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, as it includes more than one criterion and alternative. In this study, decision model was proposed for earthquake risk prioritization of twenty-nine provinces with high earthquake risk in Turkey. In the proposed model, provinces were clustered via Two-Step Cluster Analysis. Indicators determined in the Two-Step Cluster Analysis were defined as criteria, and criteria weighting was made via SWARA method. After weighing the criteria, the ELECTRE I method was used for earthquake risk ranking of the clustered provinces. In the proposed model for earthquake risk assessment, the similarity of provinces can be defined, and the impact of indicators can be examined. For this purpose, as the innovative aspect of this paper, while evaluating the clustering success, it was proposed to examine the coefficients of variation for continuous variables. In the Two-Step Cluster Analysis, clusters were formed in different ways and the risk rankings for provinces divided into six sub-clusters in total were presented. As a result of the Two-Step Cluster Analysis, two clusters consisting of six provinces, two clusters consisting of five provinces, one cluster consisting of four provinces and one cluster consisting of three provinces were obtained. The rankings of these provinces within clusters were obtained via ELECTRE I method. The aim of the study is to guide the decision makers working on earthquake risk assessment in the practical world by providing the hybridization of the specified clustering and multi-criteria decision-making methods.
