7th International Conference on Computer Simulation in Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation, Algarve, Portugal, 13 - 15 September 2010
This study examines the mutual relations between risk, risk society and types of disaster, after having defined risk and the risk society, then proceeding to analyze a range of disaster management models that are currently applied in Turkey and other countries. An empirical survey about the last major disaster that occurred in Turkey is carried out. Consequently, a new, effective and functional integrated disaster management model for Turkey is proposed.
