Abstract
This article explores the barriers to big data adoption and proposes strategic solutions for improving disaster risk resilience to overcome these barriers in humanitarian supply chains (HSCs). Its theoretical model is grounded on the resource-based view (RBV). Based on a combination of a literature review and interviews with experts from humanitarian organizations, 24 barriers to big data adoption were identified. These barriers span infrastructural, technological, managerial, financial, and human-related factors within the humanitarian supply chain. Additionally, eight strategies were defined as solutions to overcome these barriers. The study uses the Fermatean Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FF-AHP) to obtain the weights of barriers and the Borda Social Choice Function. The findings offer valuable insights into evaluating solutions to address barriers to big data adoption. The study ranks the barriers based on their influence. The most significant barrier is the shortage of facilities to research and develop big data tools. Other critical barriers include high costs, lack of training facilities, data quality issues, and lack of government support. The results show that the most effective solutions for improving disaster risk resilience involve increasing IT infrastructure, developing strategic plans, and securing government support to overcome barriers to big data adoption. A comprehensive understanding of the barriers to big data adoption can provide policymakers and practitioners with a roadmap for enhancing disaster risk resilience and addressing challenges associated with the adoption of big data.

- All proprietary rights other than copyright, such as patent rights.
- The right to grant or refuse permission to third parties to republish all or part of the article or translations thereof. In case of whole articles, such third parties must obtain permission from CDF as well. However, CDF may grant rights with respect to journal issues as a whole.
- The right to use all or parts of this article in future works of their own, such as lectures, press releases, reviews, textbooks, or reprint books.
- The authors affirm that the article has been neither copyrighted nor published, that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere, and that if the work is officially sponsored, it has been released for open publication.
The only exception to the statements in the paragraph above is the following: If an article published in IJAHP contains copyrighted material, such as a teaching case, as an appendix, then the copyright (and all commercial rights) of such material remains with the original copyright holder.
CDF will receive permission for publication of copyrighted material in IJAHP. This permission is not transferable to third parties. Permission to make electronic and paper copies of part or all of the articles, including all computer files that are linked to the articles, for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage.

To republish, to post on servers, or redistribute to lists requires that you post a link to the IJAHP article, which is available in open access delivery mode. Do not upload the article itself.
Authors are permitted to present a talk, based on a paper submitted to or accepted by IJAHP, at a conference where the paper would not be published in a copyrighted publication either before or after the conference and where the author did not assign copyright to the conference or related publisher.
