Evaluation of 110 Emergency Calls of Erzincan with Geographical Information Systems and Modeling with Different Statistical Analysis Methods

The most important criterion for 110 emergency call is the time, which is between the arrival of the teams at the event location after the emergency call and the initiation of emergency response; and called as “response time”. One of the most important problems affecting the intervention time is the problems arising from the station settlement. Today, advanced information technologies and imaging methods are widely used in the determination of the station settlement area. One of the methods used for this purpose is "Geographic Information Systems" (GIS). In the literature, various station settlement determination process in Turkey have been seen in the CBS. In this study, it is aimed to use time series and artificial neural networks to model the geographic information systems and calls to determine the coverage of the existing station locations based on the calls received by the 110 fire stations in Erzincan city center. The current research covers the neighborhoods of Erzincan center and the data were taken from the Erzincan Municipality Fire Department. SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program, MATLAB program and ArcGIS program were used to analyze the data. In order to query the data in ArcGIS, basic geographical data (map) bases were created. Then, the data were digitized in the same coordinate system and transferred to the ArcGIS program. At the end of the research, the most appropriate the fire station were recommended with the locational analysis functions of GIS.
