Özet:
Disasters are events that negatively affect human health, the economy, and the social structure, causing widespread destruction and losses. In order to prevent the adverse impacts of future disasters and to take precautions against such situations, it is essential to implement an effective disaster management plan. In this context, local governments, which are familiar with the local population and aware of their needs, are required to contribute effectively to the processes of disaster risk reduction, response, and recovery. Istanbul, which holds significant economic, cultural, and geopolitical value for Turkey, has been affected by numerous natural disasters throughout history and is currently facing a major earthquake risk. One of the most crucial approaches for addressing potential earthquake risks and mitigating damages is the implementation of effective disaster management. This study aims to assist researchers and local government units working in the field of disaster management by analyzing the current situation, taking into account institutional capacities and resources, and evaluating and prioritizing preparedness for potential disasters. In the first phase of the study, five key criteria highlighted in the literature for effective disaster management against earthquakes were examined. The criteria identified from this review were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process " (AHP) method, in consultation with the opinions of 15 experts working in different district municipalities of Istanbul, and the importance rankings of these criteria were (AHP) method, in consultation with the opinions of 15 experts working in different district municipalities of Istanbul, and the importance rankings of these criteria were determined. In the second phase of the study, a comprehensive mathematical analysis was conducted using inventory data from five district municipalities located in different parts of Istanbul, the criteria identified in the first phase, and the variables affecting these criteria. The analysis data obtained were integrated with the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method, along with the weight values derived in the first phase, to determine the most disaster-sensitive option among the five district municipalities based on their existing local resources and capacity factors. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that disaster management awareness should be increased, and local resources should be strengthened and used more effectively.
