Article Citation - Scopus: 1Digital Solutions for Disaster Management: Analyzing the Impact of the February 2023 Earthquake in Türkiye(Ankara University, 2024) Nazlıoğlu, S.; Kalem, G.; Yazıcı, A.This research investigates the involvement of information technologies, including communication platforms and social media solutions, in managing earthquake disasters, specifically focusing on the February 2023 earthquake in Türkiye. In order to achieve this, a comparative framework is constructed, which incorporates four main categories, namely goal, providers, target phase, and platform. The data is gathered from diverse sources, and a total of 130 solutions are identified immediately following the February 2023 earthquake in Türkiye. After conducting a thorough examination of these solutions and removing any duplicates and irrelevant options, the final dataset comprises 89 unique solutions sourced from 82 providers. According to the study's findings, the solutions employed in mitigation and preparedness phases prioritize proactive measures and planning, while the ones in response phase witnesses a significant increase in activities related to aid campaigns, emergency response, information dissemination, and support services. The solutions in recovery phase further intensifies support services to aid affected communities. Web-based platforms are predominantly used during different phases of disaster management, with mobile platforms playing a crucial role in communication and on-the-ground activities. Private organizations exhibit strong involvement in developing IT platforms, while public entities and NGOs contribute to a lesser extent. © 2024, Ankara University.

Thus, the country is always in danger of an earthquake. Moreover, due to the unpredictability of the location and time characteristics of earthquakes, there is always a high risk that residences and work environments will be severely damaged. Therefore, the performance of buildings and structures during and after an earthquake is an important evaluation criterion. In this study, the concerns and expectations of users (consumers) concerning the structural strength of their living and working spaces will be examined and evaluated. The technical features of the buildings that define their living and working spaces, and how information regarding their earthquake resistance reaches users, will constitute the essence of this study. Detailed information about the infrastructure needed to create building identification numbers will be provided, and suggestions will be made with respect to the Turkish context. Creating a conscious consumer base and minimizing the destructive effects and loss of life caused by earthquakes are among the aims of these recommendations. © 2021, Ankara University.
