Logística humanitária: uma revisão sistemática da literatura com contribuições recentes aplicadas à COVID-19

Abstract

The last two decades were decisive for the consolidation of Humanitarian Logistics (HL). Some disasters with large-scale consequences have collaborated to make HL a field of interest to researchers. Among the natural disasters that occur globally, a type of disaster that began in December 2019 is mobilizing authorities worldwide because of its high risk to human lives. This disease was named COVID-19. The present work intends to use the methodology of Literature Systematic Review (LSR), to prospect and present, through literature systematization protocols, the results of several kinds of research in the field of HL to minimize the impacts of natural disasters, and more specifically, those related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this, the study sought to scan HL in databases of journals within the researcher's reach and analyze the results found. As a result, it was possible to map several issues associated with HL and some studies related to the new Coronavirus. We found that there is still a lack of studies that demonstrate HL in support of the COVID-19 crisis management support to minimize the impacts of the new pandemic.
