Site selection of temporary housing after earthquake by GIS and AHP method Case study: Region 6 of Shiraz

Extended abstract1- IntroductionCrisis management is a useful science that by observing the crises systematically and analyzing them is in searching for the equipment that can prevent the crises or if they have happened, in order to decrease the effects of it, it could assist and improve the situation enormously. In other words, the goal of crisis management is planning, organizing and doing the jobs in the way that decreases disaster effects on damaged people and environment. One of the most important matters that responsible organizations in crisis management always consider is choosing a place for emergency or temporary establishments of damaged masses from the events. Every year all over the earth planet, much people due to incidence of the natural events like earthquake and flood lose their lives and homes. Providing appropriate places for establishing the assistance centers after the earthquake and housing wanderers is one of the important items in planning and crisis management. In this research, the sixth region of Shiraz Municipality has been chosen and studied because of its high seismic potential as the sample of preparation of place database in order to locate temporary housing of damaged masses caused by probable earthquakes. 2- Theoretical basesHabitation is one of the human's primary requirements. So after each disaster that causes losses and harms to the permanent settlements, and since building home for wanderers needs much time and cost, the discussion of temporary housing has been introduced. In fact, the temporary housing is residential units with low price or free that is given to stricken people and they can continue living there for the required time until gaining the necessary facilities for rebuilding their normal and permanent home. So for selecting appropriate places for site selection of these temporary residential units, we must consider several criteria and standards. The sociological studies of disasters and the existing experiments show that the damaged masses of people have some tendencies about their selective place for temporary shelter that approximately mentioned below: Primarily damaged masses prefer to stay close to the damaged houses, even ruined and their life stuffs. The temporary shelters beside the ruined houses are the most desirable shelter model for damaged masses. Some of the damaged masses due to friends', families' and their facilities go to the families' and friends' homes and often one of the family members comes back to visit and protect the remained stuffs. Thirdly, damaged masses are ready to live
