Abstract:

In order to understand the development progress of safety soft science in China, its value and factor contribution rate are comprehensively discussed by taking the branch of soft science in the discipline system of GB/T 13745-2009 safety science technology(620) as the category. Then, it was summarized, commented and viewed from three aspects, namely history and process, evolution and current situation, trend and challenge, as well as in multiple dimensions and perspectives, such as discipline development, discipline system, discipline category, institutional and legal system, regulatory governance, research hot-spots and research frontiers. Finally, development trends and challenges of the safety soft science in theoretical innovation, intelligent safety, safety governance and high-quality development mode were analyzed and discussed. The results show that the whole society needs to strengthen the development of safety soft science which plays a great role in system safety. Research on safety management science, safety system science, safety culture, safety law and other disciplines is comparatively mature, while that on safety history, safety economics, safety ethics, and safety philosophy is not. Moreover, smart safety, smart emergency response, intrinsic safety, safety vulnerability, safety leadership, and the shared responsibility of the party and government will become research hot-spots in the future.

Key words: safety soft science, discipline system, development process, intelligent safety, high quality development
