MASTER AND DOCTORATE RESEARCHES RELATED TO FIRE SAFETY BUILDING IN BRAZIL:

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Considering the research field in Fire Safety, the scope of scientific studies includes a series of approaches, which can be understood as sub-areas of the theme Fire Safety. Under this multidisciplinary research scenario, this article aims to reflect on scientific production in the area of SCI, in order to identify the national panorama in master's and doctoral research and the main study focuses, or subareas, through a Systematic Review. Thus, the Systematic Research method was chosen, which is divided into 3 stages: Planning, Execution and Conduct. The search in the databases, respecting the defined protocol, returned a total of 218 works. The results obtained from the review point out that the main research sub-area refers to studies related to the behavior of materials and structures in fire situations, originating mainly from Postgraduate Program in Civil Engineering, from educational institutions located in the Southeastern and South of Brazil. It is believed that this article can help to compress the stage of scientific production, identification of sub-areas with knowledge gaps, research opportunities and teaching poles in the area.
