“…The greater the magnitude of the disaster, the larger the population in need. As evacuation efforts (Berariu et al , 2016a; Uddin et al , 2018; Allahi et al , 2021; Giedelmann-L et al , 2022) are implemented, the need for people is reduced, closing the balancing loop – population evacuated (B8) (Figure 8). The population in need pressures humanitarian actors to provide relief and recovery.…”

“…Lawrence et al (2022) raised awareness of the logistical challenges at the node legs of supply chain connections and the need for synchronisation to ensure an efficient, agile and continuous flow of materials in and out of the disaster zone.

“…Allahi et al (2021) showed that the lack of support from the HO during refugee crises can seriously impact migrant health and education. Uddin et al (2018) believed that their research could be used as a basis for designing future research to understand shelter dynamics and their effective contribution to disaster emergency response. Kosmas et al (2022) were the first to apply SD in SAR operations linked to migration by sea (MBS).…”

Purpose Due to the unknown location, size and timing of disasters, the rapid response required by humanitarian operations (HO) faces high uncertainty and limited time to raise funds. These harsh realities make HO challenging. This study aims to systematically capture the complex dynamic relationships between operations in humanitarian settings. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this goal, the authors undertook a systematic review of the extant academic literature linking HO to system dynamics (SD) simulation. Findings The research reviews 88 papers to propose a taxonomy of different topics covered in the literature; a framework represented through a causal loop diagram (CLD) to summarise the taxonomy, offering a view of operational activities and their linkages before and after disasters; and a research agenda for future research avenues. Practical implications As the authors provide an adequate representation of reality, the findings can help decision makers understand the problems faced in HO and make more effective decisions. Originality/value While other reviews on the application of SD in HO have focused on specific subjects, the current research presents a broad view, summarising the main results of a comprehensive CLD.

“…For example, according to a study conducted in 2018, the use of green spaces as post-disaster shelters disrupt natural ecosystems (Mainka et al 2011). It also prevents access to residential areas after a disaster in the city (Uddin et al 2018). This makes it di cult for people to access necessary materials and services after a disaster.…”

Disasters cause many deaths, leave millions of people homeless, and lead to the loss of billions of dollars in economies every year around the world. The places most affected by disasters are city centers. According to the United Nations World Urbanization Reports, 55.3% of the world's population lives in cities. Due to their growing populations, cities nowadays are places where significant human casualties can occur during disasters. After disasters, people mostly use urban parks and open green spaces as shelter areas. Elazig's Kültür Park is one instance of an urban park that saw heavy use following a disaster. This city park has an area of 180,000 square meters. Following the 6.8-magnitude Elazig earthquake on January 24, 2020, Kültür Park served as a temporary shelter and a disaster management center. Elazig is a city where disasters are experienced intensely. The analyses have also shown that the earthquake intensity in the city is very high. The earthquake intensity analysis used calculations based on Silverman's Basic Rule Bandwidth Estimation Formula. The plan, projects, features, post-earthquake usage, and problems experienced in the use of Kültür Park, which was used as a shelter after the earthquake, were examined. The functionality of the use of the park after the earthquake and the secondary disasters that occurred in the park were investigated. The findings show that Kültür Park and other green spaces are not entirely appropriate for use after a disaster. Suggestions were developed for Kültür Park and other open green areas.
