الوصف: The Tsunami that took place in Sumatra Island on December 26, 2004 has brought tremendous loss to coastal areas of most of South East Asian countries, including Thailand. Despite substantial contributions from various governmental and non-governmental organizations, conflicts still remain, especially with regard to the resource allocation and policy decision making. The main problems found are: resource mismatching, aid duplication, unfair distribution, and inefficient resource uses. In this paper, we propose a new resource optimization model to manage the complexity of resource conflict and to define efficiently fair resource allocation schemes. While two well-known resource allocation theories - utilitarian and egalitarian - are employed, this model also considers that an increase in the benefits of victims can vary based not only on an amount of resources provided, but also the characteristics of resources. Finally, we have integrated the models in our prototype system developed for spatial resource allocation purpose; then it has been examined by using the historical data gathered from tsunami affected area in Thailand. Compared to the current resource allocation schemes made by aid agencies, the result has shown that schemes generated by this system could increase the social welfare of the area affected by tsunami. Some assumptions and limitations of models are also discussed in this paper.
