Abstract

In recent years, studies in humanitarian logistics have increased due to the frequency, dimensions and losses caused by disasters. It is possible to be prepared for the negative situations that may occur before disasters occur and to take necessary precautions with an effective disaster management strategy. Making plans by evaluating the dynamic structure of humanitarian logistics processes in disasters plays an important role before and after the disaster. In addition, the failure to analyze and consider the risks in these processes makes it challenging to manage them effectively and efficiently. Although various approaches have been proposed to improve efficiency, there is still a need for a comprehensive literature review that classifies studies according to their methods, decisions, and risk considerations. In this study, a literature review was carried out to provide a risk-oriented decision-making framework for studies on humanitarian logistics. The studies are categorized according to their methods, the decisions, and the risks they address.
