Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which have become increasingly widespread, stand out as accessible, cost-effective, useful, and efficient options for many different tasks, such as search and rescue, monitoring, tracking, mapping, and dispatch in emergency logistics operations. However, in this process, driving forces and obstacles determine the status of UAVs in disaster management. In this study, in order to identify these factors, 8 drivers and 8 barriers created as a result of the literature review were analyzed using the Graph Theory Matrix Approach method. According to the findings obtained, the most important drivers of UAVs in emergency logistics operations are high-tech solutions, followed by air surveillance and mapping. The most important barrier is instability against various weather conditions and regulators. Stakeholders of emergency logistics operations optimally interpret drivers and barriers in the involvement of UAVs and contribute to economic, technical or legal corrective actions.

应急物流作业中无人驾驶飞行器的驾驶员和障碍物

无人驾驶飞行器（uav）已经变得越来越普遍，在许多不同的任务中脱颖而出，如搜索和救援，监测，跟踪，绘图和紧急后勤行动中的调度，具有可访问性，成本效益，实用性和高效率。然而，在这一过程中，动力和障碍决定了无人机在灾害管理中的地位。在本研究中，为了识别这些因素，使用图论矩阵方法分析了文献综述产生的8个驱动因素和8个障碍。根据所获得的研究结果，无人机在应急物流行动中最重要的驱动因素是高科技解决方案，其次是空中监视和测绘。最重要的障碍是对各种天气条件和监管机构的不稳定性。应急物流业务的利益相关者最佳地解释无人机参与的驱动因素和障碍，并为经济、技术或法律纠正行动做出贡献。

期刊介绍： Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
