Configuration Attribution of Government Responsiveness from Emergency Management Departments during Major Emergencies
The international situation is turbulent,causing countries to face many unforeseen emergencies.To ensure that countries can respond quickly and effectively to crises and protect the lives and property of their citizens,governments ur-gently need to improve their emergency management capabilities.In view of the current differences in the responsiveness of emergency management departments in different provinces and the incompleteness of single-factor analyses of govern-ment functions,the websites of emergency management departments in 31 provincial administrative regions were selected for this study to obtain public data.The fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA)was used to conduct a multi-factor attribution analysis of government responsiveness.Simulation results were obtained through experimental data and agent modeling technology.The study findings showed that the strong government response of emergency management de-partments could be divided into three types—"both financial and quantity,""sourcing-oriented,"and"strategizing"—while the poor government response could be divided into two types—"disaster impact"and"time tight responsibility."On the ba-sis of the government-public opinion model,when the response time is mainly considered and a deviation between govern-ment processing time and public waiting time is observed,the cross-cycle point difference between the two is nearly 44 days,which provides a reference for government emergency management departments to respond effectively to the public.
