自20世纪80年代以来,自然灾害研究中的致灾因子论逐渐被脆弱性理论所取代,灾害脆弱性成为了国内外防灾减灾研究新的热点。目前,自然灾害社会脆弱性成为了灾害脆弱性研究的新范式。本文认为自然灾害社会脆弱性即社会群体、组织或国家在灾害暴露中潜在受到伤害的程度及应对能力的大小。人类社会受灾的原因不仅是由自然因素所造成, Since the 1980s, the theory of disaster hazard in natural disasters has gradually been replaced by the theory of vulnerability, and disaster vulnerability has become a new hot spot in disaster prevention and reduction research at home and abroad.
