Abstract Constructing shelters is one of the most important precautions to reduce human casualties during disasters. The critical point in locating the shelter is the selection of the proper site. Unless shelters are placed in the right locations, they cannot serve as lifesaving tools. In this article, shelter site selection for a conflict area in Syria is taken into account. Notoriously, Syria has been facing these conflicts since 2011 and the intensity of the incidents is varying from region to region. Thus, in this study, Maar Shurin Community of Idlib is chosen as the study area because of its high airstrike/casualty statistics in 2018. A geographic information system (GIS) and its multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) tools are used for determining the shelter site. Four different scenarios based on different criteria weights are generated to provide alternative solutions. It is believed that the outputs of the proposed methodology can help the local administration to solve its real-life problems.

伊德利卜 (叙利亚) Maar Shurin 社区的紧急避难所选址

摘要 建造避难所是减少灾害期间人员伤亡的最重要的预防措施之一。选择避难所的关键是选择合适的地点。除非避难所放置在正确的位置，否则它们不能作为救生工具。在本文中，考虑了叙利亚冲突地区的避难所选址。众所周知，叙利亚自 2011 年以来一直面临这些冲突，事件的强度因地区而异。因此，在本研究中，伊德利卜的 Maar Shurin 社区因其 2018 年的高空袭/伤亡统计数据而被选为研究区域。地理信息系统 (GIS) 及其多标准决策分析 (MCDA) 工具用于确定避难所地点。生成基于不同标准权重的四种不同场景以提供替代解决方案。相信所提出的方法的输出可以帮助当地政府解决其现实生活中的问题。
