“…This paper analyzes the research trends and approaches to the geotechnics-disaster relationship from a systematic review and bibliometric analysis. Disasters are a complex social phenomenon representing a danger to the human population, causing damage and significant impact [72]. Based on this term, its evolution over time, and the different areas of knowledge in the literature, the keywords "disasters" [73][74][75][76] and "catastrophe" [77][78][79] are defined.…”

Landslides, earthquakes, and other natural events can change the landscape and generate human and economic losses, affecting transportation and public service infrastructure. In every geotechnical project, the investigation phase plays a fundamental role in reducing the risk of occurrence and mitigating catastrophes. As a result, governments have created entities to study disasters and identify triggering factors that generate huge losses worldwide. This research aims to conduct a systematic review of the relationship between geotechnics and disasters through bibliometric techniques, scientific production evaluation, and case studies analysis to recognize key topics, methods, and thematic development of the research worldwide. The research methodology consisted of three steps: (1) Database analysis, selection, and combination, (2) bibliometric analysis, and (3) systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The systematic review with bibliometric analysis collected data from 1973 to 2021, with 1299 academic publications indexed in the Scopus and WoS database. These results indicated a growing trend of annual publications on disasters and their relationship with geotechnical studies, highlighting current issues and technological innovation. The main research trends in disaster risk assessment were topics mainly linked to landslides, earthquakes, liquefaction, and inappropriate analysis models with applications of geophysical methods, laboratory tests, remote sensing, and numerical models.

Further Hierarchies of Loss: Tracking Relationality in Pregnancy Loss Experiences

The article extends Robson and Walter’s concept of hierarchies of loss by describing further factors which afford differential social legitimacy to death-related losses. Drawing on our separate research with women in England who have experienced pre-viability pregnancy loss through different types of miscarriage and termination for foetal anomaly, we note that closeness of relationship to the object of loss does hierarchise pregnancy loss. However, other relational elements are also implicated, including ontological positions on what it was which was lost, in relation to other individually and socially experienced losses. Hierarchies are both imposed and agentially used by those who are implicated. This wider analysis extends the concept of hierarchies of loss so it can include experiences which do and do not involve grief and bereavement, and experiences of social recognition alongside those where loss is disenfranchised, marginalised, or ungrievable.

The Faultline of Kokoro no Kea: Mental Distress and Post-Disaster Psychosocial Care After the Great East Japan Earthquake

The Japanese concept of “ kokoro no kea” (care for the heart/mind) plays a crucial role in shaping disaster mental health response systems. Following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear plant accident, the government quickly implemented kokoro no kea initiatives. However, many locals reported reluctance to seek support from kokoro no kea teams. This article explores therapeutic governance in response to these disasters, a multifaceted, disavowed, and diffusive mode of governing. It highlights how recovery politics emphasized solidarity—referred as “kizuna” (social bonds)—while also gendering and pathologizing women’s fears and anxieties regarding radiation exposure. Through a narrative review of ethnographic studies, this analysis demonstrates that kokoro no kea is not simply a static post-disaster mental health and psychosocial support system; rather, it is an open, fluid, and evolving process where diverse actors—such as politicians, men, women, health professionals, and religious practitioners—interact with socio-political forces and cultural values, creating unique pathways for individuals and communities to foster connections, build trust, and nurture resilience in coping with psychological pain and loss.
