The uncertainty and complexity of natural hazards put forward new requirements for emergency management systems. In order to deal with natural hazards effectively, it is important to build a cooperative network between government organizations and social organizations. The social network analysis method is adopted, the April 2013 Ya’an China earthquake is taken as a case study, the institutionalized emergency organization network before the disaster and the actual response organization network after the disaster are analyzed, and centrality, between centrality, closeness centrality and core-periphery are calculated. Through qualitative and quantitative research, the functions of social organization in the process of natural hazards emergency relief are revealed, the role orientation of social organization in the emergency management network is analyzed, and the influence factors of the social organization participation in the natural hazards relief is pointed out. Research results will help to promote the cooperation between social organization and government, and improve the efficiency of natural hazards emergency relief.

Readers who participate in social reading activities can play a variety of roles. These roles can reflect differences in the behaviors among readers and influence the knowledge sharing and information flowing in the social reading process. This study investigates a community of university students’ roles in the WeChat reading activities. Social Network Analysis approach was adopted for analyzing the data in WeChat reading. Results indicate that different roles have different effects on the connection between subgroups and the dissemination of information, which can cause influences on the generation and development of social reading networks as well. This study offers implications for facilitating readers’ interactions and knowledge sharing in the social reading contexts.

AbstractRecentdecades have witnessed large migration flows from rural to urban China. This chapter explores the potential of social network analysis (SNA) for assessing and understanding social integration in contemporary Chinese cities. We begin by presenting the background and the complex, multi-dimensional and inter-connected factors that typically affect segregation and inequality within urban China. SNA is introduced as a potential analytical approach for characterising and examining the ongoing dynamic social integration process. We discuss some initial findings based upon an exploratory case study in Shanghai on multi-dimensional segregation in the social care sector. We also identify the limitations of SNA as a relatively innovative method for researching social integration and call for a mixed-methods approach towards its application in examining the intricacy and complexity of social integration in contemporary urban China.


We present a case study of an interpretation and application of the measures in the Social Network Analysis (SNA) to comprehend the implementation architecture of a software system. The architectural structure derived from the dependencies of programming elements is considered a social network. Then, the SNA measures such as degree distribution, centrality, clustering, community, and ego network are applied to the software network. The Gephi tool has been used to collect the values of those SNA measures and also for visualization. The values obtained for those measures were interpreted in the terms of potential application area of the software engineering. The interpretation of SNA measures from the case study reveals that it is useful for the developers to enhance their comprehension about the organization of program elements and source.

Patent is one of the lever factors in improving the nation's competitiveness. A reward to an inventor is one way that can be taken to increase the productivity and patent development in Indonesia. The social network analysis on the relationship of co-invention and registered patents can identify inventing actors who deserves the award. Joko Waluyo obtained an actor who is considered central to the co-invention social network relationships of registered patents in LIPI. It is based on the high value of betweeness and closeness to the node Joko Waluyo. In addition, it was found that the prolific inventor does not always mean a central actor in the social network.

This chapter focuses on the general principle of duality, which was originally introduced by Simmel as the intersection of social circles. In a seminal article, Breiger formalized Simmel’s idea, showing how two-mode types of network data can be transformed into one-mode networks. This formal translation proved to be fundamental for social network analysis, which no longer needed data on who interacted with whom but could work with other types of data. In turn, it also proved fundamental for the analysis of how the social is structured in general, as many relations are dual (e.g. persons and groups, authors and articles, organizations and practices), and are thus susceptible to an analysis according to duality principles. The chapter locates the concept of duality within past and present sociology. It also discusses the use of duality in the analysis of culture as well as in affiliation networks. It closes with recent developments and future directions.


Social networks fundamentally shape our lives. Networks channel the ways that information, emotions, and diseases flow through populations. Networks reflect differences in power and status in settings ranging from small peer groups to international relations across the globe. Network tools even provide insights into the ways that concepts, ideas and other socially generated contents shape culture and meaning. As such, the rich and diverse field of social network analysis has emerged as a central tool across the social sciences. This Handbook provides an overview of the theory, methods, and substantive contributions of this field. The thirty-three chapters move through the basics of social network analysis aimed at those seeking an introduction to advanced and novel approaches to modeling social networks statistically. The Handbook includes chapters on data collection and visualization, theoretical innovations, links between networks and computational social science, and how social network analysis has contributed substantively across numerous fields. As networks are everywhere in social life, the field is inherently interdisciplinary and this Handbook includes contributions from leading scholars in sociology, archaeology, economics, statistics, and information science among others.
