TAYE-based Inclusive Digital Disaster Mapping Project is being prepared.

The project "Increasing Risk-Based Planning and Community Resilience with an Inclusive Digital Disaster Mapping Model Based on the Assembly Area Adequacy Index (AEA)," prepared within the scope of the PACE Program, aims to develop a more resilient, inclusive, and data-driven approach to disasters.

Within the scope of the project, the Disaster Assembly Area Adequacy Index (DAA) will be developed, which will enable the evaluation of existing disaster assembly areas based on multi-dimensional criteria such as accessibility, capacity, security, infrastructure adequacy, and the extent to which they meet the needs of disadvantaged groups. Thanks to this index, not only the existence of assembly areas but also their functionality and inclusiveness during a disaster will be revealed with scientific and measurable data.

The digital disaster mapping model to be developed will be integrated with local risk analyses, providing decision-makers, local governments, and relevant stakeholders with risk-based planning opportunities. It also aims to increase public awareness of disasters and ensure citizens have access to reliable and up-to-date information in a digital environment.

The project centers on an inclusive disaster management approach that considers the needs of all segments of society, especially children, the elderly, people with disabilities, women, and other disadvantaged groups. It aims to increase the community's preparedness for disasters and strengthen community resilience through education, information, and participatory methods.

This innovative project aims to contribute to disaster risk reduction, enable more effective planning at the local level, and take a significant step towards creating sustainable and safe living spaces.
