Abstract

Emergency shelters are commonly utilized as a means of disaster adaptation. Rural China is vulnerable to disasters. While a considerable amount of practical and theoretical work has been conducted regarding urban emergency shelters in China, a comprehensive assessment of the challenges faced by rural communities is lacking. Our systematic review concerning rural emergency shelters (RESs) identified 45 policies and 56 studies. We answered four main questions: 1) What are the top-level approaches for RESs in national policy? 2) How to plan and design RESs? 3) What is the status of RES implementation? 4) How can stakeholders engage in the RES process? To enhance rural resilience, the current limitations were summarized: neglect of rural special needs; imitation of urban planning and design; ambiguity in the implementation of RESs; and one-sided process of stakeholder engagement. This review can help to lay the groundwork for practices to better promote sustainable rural development.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
