The article titled "The Role of Architects in Search and Rescue Technologies: A Comparative Analysis of Global Examples and Türkiye" by Res. Asst. Mustafa Dallı, one of the faculty members of Istanbul Gelişim University (IGU), Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA), Interior Architecture and Environmental Design (Eng.) Departments was published in the special issue of the 8th Volume of the Journal of Architectural Sciences and Applications.

From the abstract;

"Search and rescue (SAR) operations require the integration of various technologies and expertise, to effectively respond to emergencies. In this study, it was investigated how architects play an essential part in SAR Technologies both globally and in Türkiye contexts. Architects play an invaluable role in designing SAR facilities, by optimizing spatial layouts, assuring structural integrity, integrating advanced technologies, and encouraging sustainability. By conducting an in-depth comparison between international and Turkish SAR examples, this study highlights key similarities, distinctions, and potential areas for improvement. These results emphasize the value of architectural expertise when conducting SAR operations; further providing insight into how Türkiye could enhance its approach to increase SAR capabilities."

We congratulate Res. Asst. Mustafa Dallı and wish him success in his academic studies.
