TI  - A decision support model for unmanned aerial vehicles assisteddisaster response using AHP-TOPSIS method
AB  - The main objective of disaster response is to secure lives and livelihoods at first. However, policymakers need accurate informationregarding disaster areas to make a quick decision right after the disaster. Especially at a large scale disaster, it is much more importantto respond to it quickly due to the number of affected people. In the uncertain atmosphere of the disaster, decision-makers can utilizeUAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to gather instant images of the disaster area for Search and Rescue Mission (SAR) and damageassessment. Also, it will be used as a communication tool between emergency units and the command center. This paper discusses theusage of UAV in a possible İstanbul earthquake. Considering the damages that may occur after a possible Istanbul earthquake, fivecriteria have been determined. These criteria have been weighted within the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method, and the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) method has prioritized the districts of Istanbul according to thesecriteria (number of casualties, number of injured people, number of damaged buildings, number of hospitals and number of criticalfacilities). With the help of this ranking, when the Istanbul earthquake occurs, if a different duty was not given to UAVs, it was tried tobe determined which districts should first look for the UAVs SAR mission.
