dc.description.abstractFacilities Management (FM) is a practice that seeks to optimally harness the interaction of resources (which are people, place, processes and technology) with a view to creating a built environment that is enabling yet, conducive. Upon all efforts towards effective FM practice, reported disasters to the built environment are characterised by leaving some effect to the resources managed within the confines of FM practice. Although such effect on the resources managed is most often than not consequential, the magnitude of the consequence is dependent on the vulnerability present in the FM system practiced. Based on the evolved approaches to managing disasters, optimizing the vulnerability to 'would-be' affected facilities in the event of disaster could be by adopting The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).Core among the mandate of this frameworkis the full understanding of vulnerability(alongside hazard and capacity) in all its ramifications. Although researches specifically in the Nigerian built environment have attempted to assess vulnerability, not much is available that identified the manifestation of vulnerability relative to the core themes ofFM (which are a place, people, processes and technology).Hence, this study seeks to contextualise the manifestations of vulnerability in managing the built environment with a view to enhance FM practice of the built environment.This research is exploratory in nature whereby secondary data was obtained using a systematic review technique. Results and findings are also reported qualitatively whereby, the identified primary manifestations of vulnerability are grouped relative to the secondary manifestations which are: human related (people); management related (process); and technology related vulnerabilities. It is worthy to mention that these secondary manifestations are considered to being FM themes (often cited in conceptualising the definition of FM). The implication of this research is not only easing the identification of the manifestation of vulnerability in FM practice in Nigeria, but clustering thematic related manifestations for actions geared towards reducing vulnerability thus improving DRR. This could be beneficial to property owners, Facility Managers and other stakeholders in the Nigerian built environment.
