Abstract

Abstract:

To achieve the modernization of the emergency management system and capacity, this paper systematically expounded the disciplinary, academic and discourse system of emergency science. Centering on the theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge of emergency science, it explored the construction logic and practical paths of the independent knowledge system of emergency science in China. The findings show that construction logic of the independent knowledge system of China's emergency science takes the disciplinary system as foundation, the academic system as core, and discourse system as link. Among them, the core concepts of disciplinary system are divided into three categories: disciplinary ontology, management system and emergency behavior. Its research paths cover three paradigms: political-social, organizational-institutional and engineering-technical paradigm. The academic system of emergency science includes the evolutionary logic, theoretical framework and application of cutting-edge methods of independent knowledge production in emergency science. Its evolutionary stages are divided into the experience-drawing stage, practice-reflecting stage, theory-reshaping stage and system-constructing stage. Its theoretical framework comprises three dimensions: scenario deduction, system modeling and concept refinement, and its research methods cover the integrated application of multiple methods and intelligent information technologies. The discourse system of emergency science features the narrative characteristics of problem orientation, systematic thinking and practice guidance. China's emergency science has made important discourse contributions to the governance philosophy, cooperative mechanisms and knowledge production of global emergency governance. In terms of future prospects, resilient governance and intelligent emergency response jointly constitute the practical paths of the independent knowledge system of emergency science.

Key words: China's emergency science, independent knowledge system, construction logic, practical paths, disciplinary system, academic system, discourse system
