B. Y. Kara
There have been decades of research in the field of humanitarian logistics, and academics in the field of logistics are becoming more and more interested in it. That being said, we still acquire insight and identify new problems with each disaster.
We have also observed various humanitarian logistics applications during Covid-19, e.g. for PCR test sites and vaccination centers. Unfortunately, the recent earthquake in Turkey has led us to re-evaluate the response cycle of disaster management. Close inspection reveals that this response phase actually leads to a variety of new applications of distribution logistics problems.
We investigated the potential decision problems and linked these problems with OR literature.
During this talk we will explain the general framework and then we will focus on “Fair allocation of In-Kind Donations”
Keywords: Humanitarian Logistics, Donation Management
