An Application of Cooperative Grey Games to Post-Disaster Housing Problem

This paper shows that cooperative grey game theory can help us to establish a fair cost share between private organizations for supporting the temporary housing problem by using facility location games under uncertainty. Temporary accommodation might be a method that ought to get started before a tragedy happens, as a preventative pre-planning. In spite of being temporary constructions, the housing buildings are one of the most essential parts to produce in emergency situations, to contribute to the reconstruction and to recover better. Our study is based on a default earthquake in Izmir of western Turkey. A number of tents are being built in three cities near Izmir. Two companies are selected to distribute the tents in a fair way between the three cities. For this purpose, we use cooperative grey game theory to help us define a fair cost allocation between private organizations for supporting the housing problem by using facility location games under uncertainty.
