SAŽETAK: Prirodne katastrofe događaju se svuda u svijetu. One predstavljaju mnoge izazove društvu i pojedincima. Ti izazovi zahtijevaju da ljudi i zajednice budu pripravni i sposobni za učinkovit odgovor koji će ubrzati ponovnu uspostavu društvenog poretka i funkcioniranje društva. Učinkovit odgovor neke zajednice uključuje definiranje strategija za smanjenje rizika od prirodnih katastrofa, a one se sastoje od više elemenata: održavanje izgrađenog okoliša, razvoj sustava upozoravanja, razvoj znanja i sposobnosti za zajednički odgovor itd.

Abstract:
Turkish Compulsory Earthquake Insurance (ZDS) introduced after the 1999 Earthquakes aimed to lower financial burdens of the State and to promote safer building construction. High earthquake risk in Turkey necessitates risk mitigation, in line with the priority of the new international policy. Yet, the ZDS system operates without regard to risk mitigation, and it is far from being a compulsory condition. The ZDS system has low penetration ratios due to expectations of State-aid in the event of a disaster, which arise from perceived attributes of ZDS, according to the findings of the Zeytinburnu

Abstract:
Every year many different disasters occur in the world. The numbers of disasters has increased, especially in recent years. Emergency management of contingency has attracted by many researchers, who used analytical methods to find the optimal locations of humanitarian relief distribution center(s). This study sets up a model for humanitarian relief center facility location problem. This model considers some characteristics such as earthquake risk index, population density index, and transportation index to determine the optimal facility location center to respond the victims when an earthquake or disaster occurs. The method is based on a mathematical model for locating facility center. The author applies this model in a city in Turkey, and then the model is solved as an agent based behavior modeling according to the particle swarm optimization. Finally, the results are presented.
