    Selecting Facility Location of Gendarmerie Search and Rescue (gsr) Units; an Analysis of Efficiency in Disaster Response
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Abdulvahitoglu, Adnan; Varu, Danismet; Macit, Irfan
    Disasters, referred to as events that result in physical, economic, and social losses for individuals and disrupt the daily activities of human communities, necessitate ongoing preparedness due to their unpredictable nature. Swift response during and after a disaster is crucial for preserving human life. Hence, it is imperative to initiate planning immediately following a disaster to ensure readiness for various tasks. Given these factors, search and rescue units must carefully select a base location that enables them to promptly reach affected areas. Disasters exhibit unique characteristics across different regions of T & uuml;rkiye. While some regions are prone to earthquakes, others face the risks of landslides, avalanches, or floods. Consequently, the required measures for disaster management vary from region to region. Nevertheless, when the term "disaster" is mentioned in T & uuml;rkiye, earthquakes often come to mind due to their frequent occurrence and significant impact. The Gendarmerie Search and Rescue (GSR) units have been actively responding to these earthquakes, renowned for their exemplary institutional discipline and working methods. This study aims to examine the operations and deployment locations of GSR units, which play a crucial role in mitigating the impact of frequent earthquakes in T & uuml;rkiye, utilizing a SWOT analysis. Additionally, a Multi-Criteria Decision Making-based mathematical model will be employed to optimize task activities and to select the most suitable facility locations for GSR units. The use of mathematical modeling in this context ensures that GSR units are strategically positioned to maximize their operational effectiveness and minimize response times. The results will be evaluated through sensitivity analysis.

    Measuring the Efficiency of Hospitals: a Fully-Ranking Dea-Fahp Approach
    (Springer, 2019) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Oztekin, Asil; Ekong, Joseph; Dag, Ali
    The goal of this study is to present a DEA-based fuzzy multi-criteria decision making model for firms in the health care industry in order to enhance their business performance. The study demonstrates a real-life use of the proposed model, mainly designed for hospitals. Data envelopment analysis enhanced with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process are collectively utilized to quantify the data and structure the model in decision-making. The juxtaposition of the two methods is used to compile a ranked list of multiple proxies containing diverse input and output variables which occur in two stages. This hybrid model provides several benefits, one of which is the ability to make the most appropriate decision considering the value of the weights determined by the data from the hybrid model.
