Özet:

It is clear that the usual methods do not respond to the problems based on urban activities which are becoming increasingly complicated due to the growth processes observed under the influence of globalization and intensive population mobility. In addition, due to the increase in the number of disasters associated with rapid urbanization processes and global climate change, there has been a significant increase in the problems experienced in the main service areas of cities (environment, health, education, infrastructure, security, etc.). Accordingly, the usage of information technologies effectively become almost an obligation in order to sustain the level of well-being in settlements which have turned into a multi-network in a sustainable manner and to put forward an effective disaster management process. Fom this point, the aim of the study is to emphasize the importance of the usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for reducing and/or eliminating possible disaster losses associated with Disaster Risk Management (DRM) processes. The scope of the study includes the role of risk management in AI applications, the advantages and disadvantages of the usage of AI in the disaster risk reduction process and also application examples. The method of the study is the qualitative research method. As a result of research, it can be said that the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is necessary for DRM which is sustainable, effective in the long term, multi-stakeholder and inter-disciplinary. Moreover, AI plays a critical role in increasing urban resilience.
