ABSTRACT

Destructive earthquakes in urban or rural areas around the world have caused severe damage to local societies. Pre-disaster prevention and post-disaster reconstruction can significantly reduce the impact of earthquakes on communities. To explore the popular research topics and trends in this area, CiteSpace was used to develop a knowledge map visualization. It was found that the main research into earthquake disaster prevention and reconstruction has been focused on disaster risk reduction planning, disaster mitigation knowledge, participatory disaster governance, and community resilience building. In this Special Issue, there were six distinctive earthquake disaster research papers that covered scientific, social, and institutional aspects. It was concluded that to reduce the effects of earthquake disasters, an interdisciplinary research approach and systems thinking is needed. The investigation also revealed that there has been a paradigm shift from post-disaster reconstruction to pre-disaster prevention to build community and urban resilience.

摘要

世界各地的城市或农村地区发生的破坏性地震对当地社会造成了严重破坏。灾前预防和灾后重建可以大大减少地震对社区的影响。为了探索该领域的流行研究主题和趋势，CiteSpace被用于开发知识图可视化。结果发现，对地震灾害的预防和重建的主要研究集中在减少灾害风险的计划，减灾知识，参与性灾害治理和社区抗灾力建设上。在本期特刊中，有六篇独特的地震灾难研究论文涵盖了科学，社会和机构方面。结论是，为了减少地震灾害的影响，需要一种跨学科的研究方法和系统思维。调查还显示，从灾后重建到灾前预防已发生了范式转变，以建立社区和城市的抗灾力。
