“…Ye et al [33] assigned the service radius of the earthquake shelters, with objective of maximizing the coverage of the population demand, analyzing the capacity and allocation situation of current earthquake shelters in the Lujiazui street of Shanghai in China. Zhou and Jian [34] added a new factor, named the second distance, into the maximal covering model and established the location selection model to help provide other choices when the expected shelters could not be used in Taizhong city, Taiwan, China.…”

Constructing natural disaster shelters is important for disaster emergency management, and site selection models provide a feasible technique and method. This paper presents site selection models for natural disaster shelters. A synthesis of the types, objectives, constraints, methods of solutions, targeted disasters and applications of different site selection models for natural disaster shelters is investigated. Shelter location models can be classified as single-objective models, multiobjective models and hierarchical models, according to the objective and hierarchy type. Minimizing the evacuation distance or time, shelter construction cost or number, and the total risk are the general objectives of the models. Intelligent optimization algorithms are widely used to solve the models, instead of the Geographic Information System (GIS) method, due to the complexity of the problem. The results indicate that the following should be the main focuses of future works: How to set a model that can be applied for determining the shelter locations of multiple disasters; how to consider the uncertainty in the models; how to improve the existing algorithms or models to solve large-scale location-allocation problems; and how to develop a new resource-saving model that is consistent with the concept of sustainable development, as advocated by shelter planners and policy makers, which can be applied in real situations. This study allows those undertaking shelter location research to situate their work within the context of shelter planning.

“…The threshold values were determined mainly based on local expert knowledge and the field surveys. We also referred to the literature (Liu et al 2011;Tong et al 2012;Ye et al 2012) to help ascertain some values of the criteria, such as SD and BD. Spatial data of criteria datasets were classified into five classes-highly satisfied (S1), medium-high satisfied (S2), moderately satisfied (S3), marginally satisfied (S4), and unsatisfied (S5)-and converted into integer raster layers based on Table 2.…”

This article introduces a framework for the multi-criteria satisfaction assessment of the spatial distribution of urban emergency shelters. A GIS-based analytic hierarchy process approach was utilized to conduct the assessment based on selected criteria layers for daytime and nighttime scenarios, respectively. The layers were generated from high-precision land use data based on highresolution aerial images and census data. Considering the uncertainty in criteria weighting, a spatial sensitivity analysis was undertaken for deriving more accurate results. The feasibility of the framework was tested on a case study in Jing'an District, Shanghai, China. The assessment results show that both at nighttime and during daytime, even if all potentially available shelters are open, the demand in large areas can only be marginally satisfied or not satisfied, especially in the northern, eastern, and central parts of Jing'an District. The quantitative analysis of the satisfaction conditions of the buildings or land parcels and the affected people, especially children and the elderly, shows a low satisfaction level of shelter services in these areas. The satisfaction assessment of emergency shelters can help government decision makers find low satisfaction areas of sheltering services and support further locationallocation optimization of urban emergency shelters.

“…Disaster management and community planning via public participation have become top priority for the authorities, stakeholders and organizations in many countries all over the world such as in the USA (Pearce, 2003, Haimes, 2012, El Salvador (Bowman and White, 2012), Australia and New Zealand (Gero et al, 2011;Djalante, 2012;Becker et al, 2012Becker et al, , 2013 China (Ye et al, 2012, Shi et al, 2012 and Iran (Amini Hosseini et al, 2009). In Europe there have already been some papers about this subject (Van Assche et al, 2011;Escuder-Bueno et al, 2012;Alexander, 2013), but no relevant studies have been conducted so far in Greece.…”

Abstract. The region of the Sporades islands located in central Greece is at the mercy of many natural phenomena, such as earthquakes due to the marine volcano Psathoura and the rift of Anatolia, forest fires, floods, landslides, storms, hail, snowfall and frost. The present work aims at studying the perceptions and attitudes of the residents regarding how they face and manage natural disasters. A positive public response during a hazard crisis depends not only upon the availability and good management of a civil defense plan but also on the knowledge and perception of the possible hazards by the local population. It is important for the stakeholders to know what the citizens expect so that the necessary structures can be developed in the phase of preparation and organization. The residents were asked their opinion about what they think should be done by the stakeholders after a catastrophic natural disaster, particularly about the immediate response of stakeholders and their involvement and responsibilities at different, subsequent intervals of time following the disaster. The residents were also asked about the most common disasters that happen in their region and about the preparation activities of the stakeholders.
