The world geography produces disasters, the number of which is increasing day by day due to both geological and climate changes.

After disasters with severe consequences, countries have accelerated their obligatory studies on disaster management in order to strengthen their social and economic structures in a more dynamic and permanent way. As a result of the concept of disaster management supported by scientific data, certain criteria have been established. After the disaster, it is aimed to ensure that the disaster survivors continue their lives in more humane conditions and then integrate them into life after life. As a result of these, it has become necessary to determine the emergency assembly areas for the first stage after the disaster, and temporary shelter areas for the disaster victims.
