“…40 Besides that, earthquake assembly areas should be designated where people can gather to be better protected from secondary disasters. 41 Disadvantageous groups of society, such as patients with schizophrenia, should receive more frequent and specific training to give them the individual skills they need to react appropriately during and immediately after an earthquake. We found that higher self-blaming scores were associated with a PTSD diagnosis in healthy subjects, while higher self-blaming and religious coping, and lower seeking for emotional support scores were associated with a PTSD diagnosis for patients with schizophrenia.…”

Objectives High rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been observed in earthquake survivors even many years after the event. However, its prevalence among patients with schizophrenia is largely unknown. This study, which was conducted two years after the 2020 Elazığ earthquake, sought to identify risk factors of earthquake-related PTSD for patients with schizophrenia and healthy subjects. Methods Adult patients with schizophrenia ( N = 103) and healthy subjects ( N = 103), who had all survived the earthquake, were recruited from affected areas in the Eastern Anatolian Region of Turkey, Elazığ. A detailed questionnaire of earthquake-related risk factors, Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Clinician-Administered PTSD scale for DSM-V (CAPS-5) scales were administered to participants. Results Twelve percent of the patients with schizophrenia and 25% of the healthy subjects had earthquake-related PTSD diagnoses two years after the 2020 Elazığ earthquake. Healthy subjects had a significantly higher rate of earthquake-related PTSD diagnosis when compared with patients with schizophrenia. Religious coping, self-blaming, less emotional support seeking, and going to a safer place on the night of the earthquake were found to be associated with PTSD diagnosis in patients with schizophrenia. History of traumatic events, self-blaming, and less social support from family were found to be associated with a PTSD diagnosis in healthy subjects. Conclusions The earthquake in Turkey created a situation such that significant symptoms of PTSD remained present at two years following the event in both patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and healthy subjects. The patients with schizophrenia have different risk factors for the development of PTSD when compared with healthy subjects. Taking into consideration risk factors, coping strategies, and perceived social support, clinical interventions should be implemented to prevent earthquake-related PTSD.

“…MCDM methods are popular in spatial studies of various natural hazard and climate extreme events distribution. Aman and Aytac [89] used the AHP method for city scale post-earthquake assembly studies in Turkey. The AHP method is also popular for mapping flood hazard in urban areas based on different flood sources [90][91][92].…”

Mapping Heat Wave Hazard in Urban Areas: A Novel Multi-Criteria Decision Making Approach

2022

Global population is experiencing more frequent, longer, and more severe heat waves due to global warming and urbanization. Episodic heat waves increase mortality and morbidity rates and demands for water and energy. Urban managers typically assess heat wave risk based on heat wave hazard, population exposure, and vulnerability, with a general assumption of spatial uniformity of heat wave hazard. We present a novel analysis that demonstrates an approach to determine the spatial distribution of a set of heat wave properties and hazard. The analysis is based on the Livneh dataset at a 1/16-degree resolution from 1950 to 2009 in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. We then focused on neighborhoods with the most frequent, severe, earlier, and extended periods of heat wave occurrences. On average, the first heat wave occurs 40 days earlier in the eastern part of the county; the northeast part of this region experiences 12 days further extreme hot days and 30 days longer heat wave season than other regions of the area. Then, we applied a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tool (TOPSIS) to evaluate the total hazard posed by heat wave components. We found that the northern and central parts of the metropolitan area are subject to the greatest heat wave hazard and that individual heat wave hazard components did not necessarily indicate heat hazard. This approach is intended to support local government planning for heat wave adaptation and mitigation strategies, where cooling centers, heat emergency water distribution networks, and electrical energy delivery can be targeted based on current and projected local heat wave characteristics.

“…The results showed that practical and rapid management, in addition to playing a decisive role in reducing casualties and material damage, can minimize the problems that occur in the medium and long term after the earthquake. [ 15 ] evaluated seven neighborhoods in Istanbul using 15 criteria in order to determine areas of safe accumulation after the earthquake. Their research novelty was a multi-criteria decision-making approach, GIS and a hierarchical analytical process.…”
