“…The STPA method can construct an effective control feedback system. STPA analyses complex systems' structure, function, and behaviour in the engineering industry, identifies safety hazards and risk points, and formulates safety constraints and requirements [41]. STPA can help transportation departments or enterprises analyze transportation systems' control structure and process, discover the causes and consequences of transportation accidents, and develop safety control measures and plans [42].…”

The construction of emergency hospitals is crucial for ensuring medical service provision during disasters. Assembled buildings have emerged as the preferred choice for large-scale emergency hospitals due to their rapid construction and high quality. However, the construction of emergency hospitals involves the collaboration of multiple departments, and there is a lack of research on the management of such construction projects. Given the urgent need for emergency hospitals, analyzing potential hazards in the construction process from a systemic perspective is essential to manage their construction effectively. In this study, the SWOT and STPA methods are employed to investigate the construction management of emergency buildings, with the Wuhan Vulcan Mountain Hospital in China serving as a case study for emergency management analysis. This study can provide ideas for emergency hospital management and a basis for controlling possible emergency construction accidents.

“…24 However, an expanding literature on networks, complexity, and complex adaptive systems theory has been developed to support the SE approach to complex systems. 15,[24][25][26][27][28] As with any expanding field of knowledge, the "theory -practice gap" is known, that is, busy systems engineers and project managers rarely have the time to keep up with the literature, which often is diffused across the many interdisciplinary applications of complex systems science. 29 An early description of complexity appeared in Weaver's seminal paper in 1948, titled: "Science and complexity", in which the concept of organized and disorganized complexity was introduced.…”

The last decade has seen a growing interest in the benefits of applying project management (PM) and system engineering (SE) in an integrated way toward complex projects and programs. The concept of project complexity dimensions, with roots in both disciplines, is suggested as a component of an integrated project complexity narrative. This paper investigates how such a project complexity narrative is reflected when informants talk about the role of PM and SE in two academic organizations. Most informants address uncertainty and social-political risks as part of their work, but any consistent use of a project complexity narrative is related to environmental and technical systems.The findings also indicate difficulty differentiating between the concepts of complicated and complex. The paper further contemplates how these findings inform efforts to manage complex research projects and programs.
