This article aims to establish the state of the art of the types of materials used in constructions within PTCs for socioenvironmental refugees through a systematic literature review (SLR). Through the SLR, 20 relevant articles aligned with the research topic were selected from the Capes Periodicals Portal. The results showcased the most cited articles, authors, and journals on the discussed subject, as well as the main application trends within the knowledge area. The research concluded that the use of natural materials is a sustainable strategy for socioenvironmental refugees as it contributes to their quality of life and resilience, while also providing bibliometric data from publications. However, the need for further studies on the social, cultural, and economic aspects involved in this process is evident.
