5. Conclusions
- USA, China, United Kingdom, and Japan dominate the publication production in the researched area as countries;
- The analysis did not find a specific organization that stands out in the field of sustainable PDPC shelters research, but it was found that most of the involved organizations operate in the fields of architecture and civil and environmental engineering;
- Co-authorship Analysis identified 1092 authors who contributed to the literature in the field, of whom 12 had provided at least four papers;
- According to the keyword analysis, most research outputs which were conducted prior to 2012 had concentrated on disaster preparedness, healthcare, and environmental design and management. Studies in recent years begin to address sustainable design and eco-design aspects, but with a higher association with shelter design and planning;
- Generally, the link between the engaged institutions in research is relatively weak. It can be noted that most active institutions were universities and research centers and, therefore, lacked the extensive collaboration with stakeholders, non-governmental organizations, and governmental entities that generate shelter responses.
