Abstract
In times of disasters, accessing to shelters by the victims is a vital task in humanitarian logistics.
One of the humanitarian logistics challenges is the difficulty involved in effectively
coordinating large numbers of victims. Especially, the lack of spatial information involved in
the rescue and recovery region is an obstacle for efficient planning. In this paper, a geographic
information system (GIS)-based solution approach is developed to manage the assignments of
victims to the shelters in times of disasters. To do so, the capacitated maximize coverage tool
of ArcGIS is used and tested on the case of Tunceli city. As a result, different scenario analyses
are generated under the distance and time restrictions between victims and shelters. Case results
demonstrate the proposed approach’s ability to support efficient and effective disaster
management.
