dc.description.abstractPurposeThe study aims to propose a decision-support system to determine the location of a regional disaster logistics warehouse. Emphasizing the importance of disaster logistics, it considers the criteria to be evaluated for warehouse location selection. It is aimed to determine a warehouse location that will serve the disaster victims most efficiently in case of a disaster by making an application for the province of Izmir, where a massive earthquake hit in 2020.Design/methodology/approachThe paper proposes a fuzzy best-worst method to evaluate the alternative locations for the warehouse. The method considers the linguistic evaluations of the decision-makers and provides an advantage in terms of comparison consistency. The alternatives were identified through interviews and discussions with a group of experts in the fields of humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations. The group consists of academics and a vice-governor, who had worked in Izmir. The results of a previously conducted questionnaire were also used in determining these locations.FindingsIt is shown how the method will be applied to this problem, and the most effective location for the disaster logistics warehouse in Izmir has been determined.Originality/valueThis study contributes to disaster preparedness and brings a solution to the organization of the logistics services in Izmir.
