Assist. Prof. Dr. Ezgi Atalay | Disaster Management | Research Excellence Award

Assistant Professor Doctor | Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University | Turkey

Assist. Prof. Dr. Ezgi Atalay is a disaster management scholar whose research integrates disaster science, public health, and social policy with a strong focus on the resilience and needs of vulnerable populations, including older adults, women, and individuals with disabilities. Her work contributes to the development of disaster resilience measurement tools, phenomenological analyses of disaster experiences, and assessments of risk perception and community preparedness. She has published widely in international peer-reviewed journals on themes such as elderly disaster resilience, flood disaster experiences, the psychological power of women in disaster contexts, the role of community pharmacists during emergencies, and bibliometric evaluations of disaster and wildfire studies. Her conference presentations span disaster communication, evacuation challenges, volunteer issues in disaster organizations, and migrant women’s health. She has authored influential book chapters on artificial intelligence in disaster management, disaster education, cultural heritage protection, and search-and-rescue techniques. Dr. Atalay has contributed to several national and international research projects focusing on disaster awareness training, earthquake response evaluation, inclusive disaster strategies for visually impaired individuals, and community-level resilience development. With an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented research approach, she advances evidence-based frameworks that enhance preparedness, response, and societal resilience in the face of disasters.
