“…Moreover, emergency decisions may have potentially serious risks since a wrong decision may result in unexpected catastrophic consequences [5,39,65]. Therefore, a lot of studies have been performed on emergency management and the EDM problems have attracted more attention from both researchers and practitioners in the past few years [2,11,14,16,33,34,66,69].…”

When an emergency occurs, effective decisions should be made in a limited time to reduce the casualties and economic losses as much as possible. In the past decades, emergency decision-making (EDM) has become a research hotspot and a lot of studies have been conducted for better managing emergency events under tight time constraint. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on this topic. The objective of this paper is to provide academic community with a complete bibliometric analysis of the EDM researches to generate a global picture of developments, focus areas, and trends in the field. A total of 303 journal publications published between 2010 and 2020 were identified and analyzed using the VOSviewer in regard to cooperation network, co-citation network, and keyword co-occurrence network. The findings indicate that the annual publications in this research field have increased rapidly since 2014. Based on the cooperation network and co-citation network analyses, the most productive and influential countries, institutions, researchers, and their cooperation networks were identified. Using the co-citation network analysis, the landmark articles and the core journals in the EDM area are found out. With the help of the keyword co-occurrence network analysis, research hotspots and development of the EDM domain are determined. According to current trends and blind spots in the literature, possible directions for further investigation are finally suggested for EDM. The literature review results provide valuable information and new insights for both scholars and practitioners to grasp the current situation, hotspots and future research agenda of the EDM field.

“…One of the significant characters of the emergency response is timeliness, which means that the rescue teams are asked for taking effective actions during a short time [ 5 , 6 ]. In the process of dealing with an emergency event, inadequate decision information and tight time pressure make it difficult for decision makers to make a reasonable and efficient choice under an unpredictable decision environment [ 7 , 8 ]. Consequently, it is of great significance to develop systematic and reliable EDM methods for determining the optimal response to an emergency event to minimize economic losses and casualties [ 1 , 9 , 10 ].…”

New method for emergency decision making with an integrated regret theory-EDAS method in 2-tuple spherical linguistic environment

et al. 2022

With the frequent occurrence of various emergency events, emergency decision making (EDM) has become an important research focus recently and many studies have been conducted to decrease the negative impact of emergencies. Normally, it is essential for decision makers to make satisfactory and reasonable emergency decisions in the shortest possible time as inappropriate decisions may result in enormous economic losses and serious social consequences. To ensure that an emergency response can be made efficiently, we propose a new EDM method by integrating regret theory and evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method within the 2-tuple spherical linguistic environment. First, the 2-tuple spherical linguistic term sets (TSLTSs) are employed by decision makers to express their uncertain and vague evaluation information on emergency alternatives. Then, an integrated EDM method based on regret theory and EDAS method is proposed to rank emergency alternatives and find out the optimal one. Besides, the criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation (CRITIC) method is used to determine criteria weights objectively in the EDM process. Finally, the proposed regret theory-EDAS method is applied to select the optimal response solution for a public health emergency in China. The superiority and practicality of the designed method are further justified through a comparative analysis with other EDM methods.

The dual probabilistic linguistic (DPL) term sets are considered superior to probabilistic linguistic term sets. The power average operator can lessen the effects of the extreme assessing data from some decision-makers with prejudice. Further, the Dombi operators are quite flexible with the general parameter during the aggregation process. Moreover, based on deviation from the maximum consistency by the exclusion of the concern of the redundancy of the comparisons made in criteria pairs, FUCOM (full consistency method) is utilized as a subjective criteria weight computing model. Besides, MARCOS (Measurements alternatives and ranking according to compromise solution) method is based on the determination of utility degrees according to the distance from anti-ideal and ideal solutions and their aggregations. In this study, we combine the merits of power average operator, Dombi operator, FUCOM technique and MARCOS for dealing with multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems under a DPL setting where rank of the alternatives are obtained through MARCOS method. For aggregating decision-experts preferences, we propose two types of operators, namely- DPL Dombi power weighted averaging and DPL Dombi power weighted geometric aggregation operators. We discuss the elegant properties of these proposed aggregation operators. We provide a case study regarding open source software learning management system selection to focus the practicability and usefulness of the proposed approach. Furthermore, we perform a sensitivity assessment on diverse criteria weight sets in order to test the stability of our developed intriguing approach. To this effect, we also provide a comparison between our approach with various extant methods.
