“…Key operational issues have been studied by researchers and linked to the broader operations research literature by referring to well-known location decision problems in collaboration with the Turkish Red Crescent [14]. A recent study thoroughly summarized various types of facility location challenges according to aspects such as the location space (continuous, network-based, discrete), the type of facilities (suppliers, distribution centers, shelters), the critical decision-makings criteria (equity, cost, reliability), and source of uncertainty (supply, demand, network) [15]. Although facility location problems have theoretically been addressed in isolation, in practice, location decisions and positioning challenges are coupled with allocation, inventory, distribution, and routing decisions in disaster relief operation settings [15].…”

Although facility location problems have theoretically been addressed in isolation, in practice, location decisions and positioning challenges are coupled with allocation, inventory, distribution, and routing decisions in disaster relief operation settings [15]. As it relates to accommodating and processing displaced populations at international borders, scholars must address the same positioning challenges while accounting for the specific aspects of the associated intricacies and corresponding planning complexities.…”

“…In such a case, there exists little market information that can be used for accurate demand forecast, and companies may choose to take multiple steps to locate all car parking spaces and/or charging stations for electric vehicles, rather than commit all the resources up front using estimated demand. Lastly, in humanitarian logistics, due to unpredictable and occurring natural disasters, it is often crucial to build temporary health centers, distribution centers, or shelters in a multi-period planning horizon under uncertain demand, supply and network connectivity (Dönmez et al 2021). In this problem context, a two-stage model will decide the facility locations and inventory pre-positioning for all the time periods (in days or weeks) a priori and then adapt the routing and allocation decisions to different scenarios realized in the second stage.…”

“…Even though equity in allocation of scarce public resources has been a concern of academics and practitioners for decades, there is no consensus on how to mathematically model this concept within humanitarian logistics optimization. Ultimately, the concept of equity per se is subject to different interpretations and is very much context-dependent (Dönmez et al, 2021). However, scholars have identified three key aspects that can guide decision makers and reduce their subjective biases in choosing an appropriate equity modelling approach: identifying an equity metric, constructing an equity function, and formulating an equity objective.…”
