“…In fact, decision making has a significant role in disaster management. On the temporary shelters selection and location problems, the lack of suitable criteria may bring about unpredicted factors which, in turn, may endanger the logistics operational quality as a whole (Nappi and Souza 2015). For example, the lack of criteria may cause people to refuse to accept the site, or it may also lead to other consequences such as subsequent secondary disasters, cultural and climatic unsuitability, social problems, lack of safety, delays related to the shelters' procurement, discovering sites, and lack of organizational services (Omidvar et al 2013).…”

The aim of this study is to determine and prioritize the factors affecting optimal location of temporary accommodation sites. Using the opinion of experts and the Fuzzy Delphi method, three main criteria including infrastructural factors, access, and sustainability and 11 subcriteria are identified. To specify the weight of the identified factors, the fuzzy DEMATEL-based analytic network process (FDANP) method is used. After applying this technique, it is determined that the main criterion of access has the greatest weight among the main criteria. Finally, District 6 of Tehran Municipality has been considered as a case study to represent the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method. According to conducted research on different scenarios of earthquake activity in Tehran, the number of displaced people requiring shelters, the area of required space, and suitable places for the construction of temporary shelters are determined. The alternative locations have been ranked using the linear assignment method, and the best prioritized sites to establish temporary shelters for two assumed cases of temporary accommodation are presented. ; separate discussions must be submitted for individual papers.

“…There has been a rich body of literatures about hierarchical facility location problem (HFLP), as seen in the recent reviews [1,2]. The HFLP models are now mainly employed in the following areas: health care system [3][4][5], education system [6], disaster management [7,8], solid waste management [9], and telecommunications network [10,11], and so forth. However, the HFLP models have not been applied in the location problem of THUAA.…”

“…Constraints (6) state that different-level demands served by a hub in each period do not exceed the maximum capacity. Constraints (7) limit that a hub can only serve the demand points in its coverage area. Constraints (8) guarantee that a hub cannot be downgraded once it is opened.…”

With the rapid urbanization in developing countries, urban agglomeration area (UAA) forms. Also, transportation demand in UAA grows rapidly and presents hierarchical feature. Therefore, it is imperative to develop models for transit hubs to guide the development of UAA and better meet the time-varying and hierarchical transportation demand. In this paper, the multiperiod hierarchical location problem of transit hub in urban agglomeration area (THUAA) is studied. A hierarchical service network of THUAA with a multiflow, nested, and noncoherent structure is described. Then a multiperiod hierarchical mathematical programming model is proposed, aiming at minimizing the total demand weighted travel time. Moreover, an improved adaptive clonal selection algorithm is presented to solve the model. Both the model and algorithm are verified by the application to a reallife problem of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region in China. The results of different scenarios in the case show that urban population migration has a great impact on the THUAA location scheme. Sustained and appropriate urban population migration helps to reduce travel time for urban residents.

“…On the other hand, several studies are worth citing regarding location decisions. A recent study by Nappi and Souza (2015) presents hierarchical selection criteria for temporary shelter locations. One of the first studies on disaster relief transportation was carried out by Knott who used a routing model developed in 1987(de la Torre et al 2012.…”

Istanbul, the economic capital and most populated city of Turkey, is highly prone to earthquakes. When an earthquake occurs, required relief items are expected to be supplied from national and international sources. To alleviate human suffering following an earthquake, in this paper, we propose an intermodal relief item distribution model for Istanbul involving sea and land transportation with identified road vulnerabilities. The proposed mathematical model utilizes the seaports of Istanbul for maritime transportation and allows for the transportation of relief item between Istanbul's European and Anatolian sides. We also use the seabasing concept for providing supplies to demand areas. The use of maritime transportation and seabasing provides flexibility for humanitarian logistical activities and the proposed model provides an effective and reliable disaster relief system for Istanbul as well as other disaster-prone cities with significant maritime transportation components.
