Analysis of the Cooperation Network between Government and Non-governmental Organizations in Public Crisis Response Based on Social Network Theory---A Case Study on 4 . 20 Ya-an Earthquake
The wide spread, serious harm and many other characteristics of public crisis have put forward higher require-ments to the crisis response participants. Therefore, in order to deal with public crisis effectively, it becomes more and more significant to establish the cooperation network between government and non-governmental organizations in the public crisis response. On the basis of the 4. 20 Ya-an seismic events in 2013, Social Network Analysis is employed to explore the cooperation network structure characteristics and the role of each node in crisis response. The network viscosity, rele-vance, centricity and cohesive subgroups were measured according to the adjacency matrix data. The results both qualita-tive and quantitative indicate that, the attributes of nodes affect the position, function and behavior choice of the organiza-tions in the network. The stationary, authoritative core institutions responding to crisis should be set up in the cooperation network to be in charge of coordinating relations between organizations and designing flexible incentive systems. The real effective cooperation between the non-governmental organizations should be strengthened in the network.
