“…The riverbank erosion caused by the flood is the reason for the fragile village ecosystem. The flood leads to the reduction of arable land, the displacement of farmers, and food insecurity [ 70 ]. Unreasonable human activities, such as increased rainfall in the upper reaches of the river, poor agricultural practices and sand mining, will increase the exposure and sensitivity of villages in the middle and lower reaches of the river to river floods [ 71 ].…”

Under the background of global environmental change, a huge impact has been made on the village ecosystem, which leads to disorder of structure and function of the village ecosystem. The current management measures of the village have failed in allowing the village to achieve sustainable development. Research on the vulnerability and resilience of the village ecosystem is helpful in regards to the ecological restoration of the village. The research status and progress in regards to the vulnerability and resilience of the village ecosystem are not clear, and the summary of research results and problems is insufficient. Based on 87 related literatures, this paper focuses on the current status and progress of village ecosystem vulnerability and resilience research, and reveals the current research results and shortcomings of village ecosystem vulnerability and resilience. We found that: (1) the research on vulnerability and resilience of the village ecosystem is on the rise; (2) the research mainly focuses on the index system, monitoring and assessment, mechanism research and strategy research. The monitoring and assessment research is the most prominent, which mainly discusses the research methods, the vulnerability and the resilience of the village ecosystem; (3) the study area is mainly concentrated in Asia, North America and Africa. Research institutions are mainly institutions of higher learning and research institutes (centers). Finally, this paper finds that major scientific and technical studies such as the construction of indicator systems and the study of governance strategies in the study of vulnerability and resilience of village ecosystems are lagging behind. In future research, we should deepen the research on the concept and connotation of vulnerability and resilience. We must establish a scientific and reasonable research framework for vulnerability and resilience of the village ecosystem. We should also strengthen and improve the index system of vulnerability and resilience of the village ecosystem. We should strengthen research on the impact mechanisms and governance strategies of vulnerability and resilience, and apply the research on vulnerability and resilience to the planning and governance of the village ecosystem.

“…People who are forced to leave their homes face economic hardships, such as the loss of their homestead land and jobs, and they are frequently driven into poverty or become involved in criminal activity ( Iqbal, 2010 ). Moreover, there is a long-standing problem of riverbank erosion caused by families migrating to new settlements in search of better medical care and educational opportunities for their children ( Ahmad and Afzal, 2021 ).…”

“…As a result of these and other problems, such as the loss of social security, deteriorating physical and mental health, and others, people's social status has declined ( Akter et al., 2019 ). Ahmad and Afzal's (2021) research on IDPs due to riverbank erosion in the Indus River runs through the southern Punjab area of Pakistan, a very erodible riverside zone. According to their findings, riverbank erosion has a negative impact on the social, cultural, economic, and well-being of IDPs.…”

“…These risks do not often occur, but once occurred, they will bring huge harm to the whole supply chain. Through an empirical questionnaire, Ahmad and Afzal ( 2021 ) demonstrated that the impact of natural disasters on the social and environmental aspects of SSC is significant. According to Xin et al ( 2020 ) findings, the losses caused by natural disasters will rise from $11.8 billion in 2006 to $110 billion in 2011.…”

The global spread of COVID-19, international trade protectionism, geopolitical conflicts, and climate change presents challenges and risks to sustainable supply chains (SSCs). In recent years, scholarly interest in sustainable supply chain risk management (SSCRM) has continued to rise. A helpful literature review is necessary to enable supply chain practitioners to apply empirical findings from academic research or conceptual frameworks to their operations to maintain the stability and competitiveness of sustainable supply chains. The knowledge map of SSCRM is explored in this study using both quantitative and qualitative analysis. A total of 793 articles were retrieved to reveal the knowledge map of SSCRM. Scientometric and context analysis are combined in quantitative analysis to identify the intellectual structure of risk management research related to SSC. Then, a critical review is conducted in qualitative analysis to summarize and analyze the motivations, strategies, approaches, and tools of SSCRM. Combining the quantitative and qualitative analysis results, a conceptual model is constructed for SSCRM from three aspects: (1) risk identification, (2) risk assessment, and (3) risk mitigating and responding. Finally, future research directions are suggested based on the conceptual model for guiding the theories and practice of SSCRM. This study can work as a roadmap for providing appropriate risk management policies and toolkits to SSC, which could advance theoretical thinking on how to mitigate SSC risks.
