Abstract:

In order to unify the theoretical achievements of various disaster studies and based on the general fact that all kinds of catastrophes have negative and systematic features, this paper proposed to establish an integrated subject which was named as negative systematology and use it to unify the theories of all kinds of catastrophes. Then, definition and connotation of the negative system as well as the negative systematology were given. The conceptual model and series concepts as well as their definitions of negative systematology were established. The main research contents and methods of negative systematology were expounded. The branches and significance of negative systematology were looked forward to. The results show that negative systematology can become the basic discipline of safety & security and global sustainable safety & security. Negative systematology can promote various catastrophe theories to learn from each other and quickly develop together. Catastrophe research by negative systematology is more professional than that of systematology. Also, in research practice, negative systematology is easier to combine with reality than safety systematology.

Key words: negative systematology, positive systems, safety systematology, catastrophes, fundamental theory
