Track: Logistics

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the challenges that hinder the Humanitarian Logistics (HL) process of natural disasters, the causes of the challenges that often arise from natural disasters, and the methods applied to solve these problems. The methods used in this research are a Systematic Literature Review, Publish or Perish 7 application (data analysis method), and the Scopus Search search option. The researchers found that the challenges hindering the process of HL are location, network, waste management, and financial funds. Causes of these challenges are generally uncertainty, constraints and immobility, limited resources, and failure of minor problems (such as lack of appropriate responses, delay times, personnel shortages, injustice, and conflict/competition). Methods that are applied to these challenges mostly consist of mathematical models, the articles that don't use mathematical models usually focus on potential solutions, or already have clear solutions.
