Abstract

In Brazil, the high frequency and types of disasters are symptoms of misguided socioenvironmental public policies. While approximately 25% of municipalities decree emergency every year, over 75% of the occurrences are linked to sanitation issues. Such events range from the lack of urban drainage infrastructure to handle large volumes of rainwater to the insufficiency of backup water supply strategies during prolonged drought, both further impacting other precarious infrasystems such as solid waste management and sewage, with the most heavily and extensively affected group being the citizens facing poverty. Therefore, the issues of disaster, sanitation, and poverty are intertwined in Brazil. Using a network science approach, we investigate how the sociological debate is overcoming the fragmented approach about these subthemes and within the disciplinary fields in social sciences by analyzing the connections between the keywords of the open-access research articles from 2003 to 2022 from four databases. This mini review highlights the main contemporary axes between the themes, identifies the potential for tackling the gap at the interface, and clarifies the needs for future studies given the aims of the Sustainable Development Goals.
巴西的灾害、卫生和贫困:社会学视角
在巴西,高频率和高类型的灾害是被误导的社会环境公共政策的症状。虽然每年约有25%的市政当局颁布紧急状态令,但75%以上的事件与卫生问题有关。这些事件包括缺乏处理大量雨水的城市排水基础设施,以及在长期干旱期间缺乏备用供水战略,这两者都进一步影响了其他不稳定的基础设施系统,如固体废物管理和污水处理,受影响最严重和最广泛的群体是面临贫困的公民。因此,巴西的灾害、卫生和贫困问题交织在一起。使用网络科学方法,我们通过分析四个数据库中2003年至2022年开放获取研究文章的关键词之间的联系,研究了社会学辩论如何克服社会科学学科领域内关于这些子主题的碎片化方法。这篇小型综述强调了主题之间的当代主轴,确定了解决界面差距的潜力,并阐明了鉴于可持续发展目标的目标,未来研究的需求。
