Every year, more than 400 natural disasters affect global population. Adopting a resilient approach strengthens communities to survive and recover well from destabilizing events. Disasters destroy or damage houses and infrastructure, which calls for arrangement of temporary establishments to provide immediate evacuation and shelter to affected population. These sites are vital for an effective relief and must be strategically planned. Communities living in disaster-prone areas should prepare themselves well in advance for any future catastrophic event. This study adopts a hybrid group decision support approach for emergency shelter site selection problem. Initially, relevant factors for locating potential sites are identified by reviewing extant literature and through consultation from a panel of disaster management experts. Next, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process theory and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution have been used to prioritize identified criteria and to evaluate potential locations for displacement sites. A case study of the recent Nepal earthquake has been used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. The model offers a resilience building approach to prepare communities for any future contingency by proposing and prioritizing a set of planned displacement sites.

使用混合多准则决策方法确定紧急避难区的优先级：一个案例研究

每年，有400多起自然灾害影响全球人口。采用弹性方法可增强社区的生存能力，并能从破坏稳定的事件中恢复良好。灾害摧毁或破坏房屋和基础设施，这要求安排临时机构，以向受影响的人口提供立即疏散和庇护。这些地点对于有效救济至关重要，必须进行战略规划。生活在易受灾地区的社区应为任何未来的灾难性事件做好充分的准备。本研究针对紧急避难所选址问题采用了混合群体决策支持方法。最初，通过回顾现有文献并通过灾害管理专家小组的咨询来确定定位潜在地点的相关因素。下一个，用于通过与理想解决方案相似的顺序进行偏好的模糊分析层次过程理论和技术已被用于对已确定的标准进行优先级排序并评估位移位点的潜在位置。以最近尼泊尔地震为例，说明了该模型的有效性。该模型提供了一种复原力构建方法，可通过提议并优先考虑一组计划中的流离失所地点来为社区将来的任何突发事件做好准备。
