目的-本文的目的是强调社会性别主流化到减灾决策的重要性，减少灾害的脆弱性的妇女，一个高度脆弱的群体灾害的一种方式。设计/方法/方式-本文建立了一个讨论周围的减灾，社会性别主流化的重要性，在减灾和社会性别主流化的方式的基础上，文献综述。它回顾了学术文献以及联合国国际减灾战略（UN/ISDR）和其他机构的文件和报告，结果-该文件强调了减少灾害风险的一种手段，通过考虑妇女的需求和关注的重要性，减少性别主流化的作用。此外，根据所审查的文献，本文强调，为了了解减灾政策和措施对性别角色的可能影响，需要在减灾决策中加强性别平衡。该文件为确定如何在建筑方面实现性别主流化铺平了道路，因为建筑与独创性/价值-该文件试图通过强调需要将性别问题纳入减灾决策过程的主流，并减少妇女的灾害脆弱性，以减少灾害。在此背景下，本文深入探讨了将性别观点纳入建筑业减灾工作主流的必要性。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of gender mainstreaming into disaster reduction decision making as a way of reducing disaster vulnerabilities of women, a highly vulnerable group to disasters.Design/methodology/approach - The paper builds a discussion around disaster reduction, the importance of gender mainstreaming in disaster reduction and the ways of mainstreaming gender based on a literature review. It reviews academic literature as well as papers and reports produced by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) and various other institutions.Findings - The paper highlights the importance of the role of gender mainstreaming in disaster reduction as a means of reducing disaster risk through considering women's needs and concerns in particular. Further, on the basis of the literature reviewed, the paper emphasises the need for enhancing gender balance in disaster reduction decision making in order to understand the possible effects of policies and measures developed for disaster reduction on gender roles.Practical implications - The paper paves the way forward to identify how gender mainstreaming could be achieved in the context of construction as construction has a significant relationship with development that could create or reduce disaster risk.Originality/value - The paper attempts to contribute to disaster reduction through emphasising the need for mainstreaming gender into the disaster reduction decision-making process and also towards reducing disaster vulnerabilities of women. In this context, the paper brings an insight into the necessity for mainstreaming gender in disaster reduction in construction.
