Abstract

The Turkish Straits Sea Area, encompassing the Sea of Marmara, the Strait of Canakkale, and the Strait of Istanbul, presents exceptional challenges due to its constricting and winding shape, making it one of the world's most difficult, busy, and hazardous waterways. The surge in marine traffic density in this vital waterway has raised concerns about collision risks. This study addresses two main problems: evaluating the adequacy of current Search and Rescue station locations for swift emergency response and identifying potential improved locations, if necessary. The research adopts a novel approach by utilizing neutrosophic data sets, a recently developed statistical method suitable for complex or indeterminate environments. This contributes to the advancement of alternative and contemporary techniques that enhance optimized decision-making. Notably, this study is the first to focus on the location and prioritization of emergency response points in the Çanakkale region, offering unique insights and original contributions to the field.
