This paper presents the findings of a review of academic literature concerning the degree to which corruption worsens disasters triggered by natural hazards in the built environment. The research employed a ‘systematic literature review’ methodology to analyse leading academic databases, resulting in a detailed analysis of 59 peer-reviewed, published papers. It found that while much of the literature focuses on earthquakes (relating to building and infrastructure collapse), the quality of governance, and the drivers of corruption, there is presently very limited scholarship on the general scope, reach, and scale with respect to how disasters are worsened by corruption. It is notable that the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 and a number of other high-level reports fail to mention corruption. The paper argues that this serious gap in understanding and expressing how corruption increases vulnerability in the built environment within disaster studies perversely supports the furtherance of corruption in worsening disasters

建筑环境中的腐败和灾难：文献综述

本文介绍了一项学术文献回顾的结果，该研究结果涉及腐败在多大程度上加剧了建筑环境中自然灾害引发的灾难。该研究采用“系统文献回顾”方法来分析领先的学术数据库，从而对 59 篇经过同行评议的已发表论文进行了详细分析。它发现，虽然大部分文献都集中在地震（与建筑和基础设施倒塌有关）、治理质量和腐败的驱动因素上，但目前关于如何处理的一般范围、范围和规模的研究非常有限。腐败加剧了灾难。值得注意的是，《2015-2030 年仙台减少灾害风险框架》和其他一些高级别报告都没有提及腐败。
