<p dir="ltr">Due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the creation of conditions contrary to normal life routines, analyzing the impacts of the virus and crisis-management methods can support planning and policy-making. Given the wide variation in research approaches and the lack of integration in findings, this article adopts a meta-analysis strategy. A total of 45 articles, selected based on expert review, formed the basis of this study. The findings highlight the increasing necessity for resilience across different regions due to rising disasters and epidemics. Spatial information technologies represent an effective tool for controlling and managing the crisis by collecting spatial data and providing analytical support. Furthermore, most studies lack practical suggestions and solutions, indicating the need for both fundamental and applied research to develop effective responses for future pandemics and crises.</p>
