ABSTRACT Objective: Crisis management in major accidents requires the collaboration among different organizations. One of the most important problems of crisis management is the lack of coordination between executive organizations. The aim of this study was to examine the structural characters and problems of interorganizational network during crisis in the petrochemical industry and provide solutions to achieve the highest performance in crisis management. Methods: The organizations involved in crisis management were identified through interviews and questionnaires. Gephi (0.9.1) software was used to examine interorganizational relationships. Results: In this study, the crisis management team consisted of 25 public and private organizations and non-governmental organizations. The highest betweenness centrality was observed in Crisis Management of Provincial Government (CMPG) (142.16) and Fire Department of Petrochemical Complex (FDC) (89.3). The highest closeness centrality was observed in FDC (0.77), CMPG (0.7), Shazand Governorate (0.7), and Crisis Management of University of Medical Sciences (0.7). Conclusions: Coordination between organizations plays an important role in crisis and emergency management, and social network analysis helps identify strengths and weaknesses of organizations involved in crisis management, overcome those weaknesses, and consequently achieve the best performance in crisis management.

Kabupaten Buru sejak 1970 dikembangkan sebagai daerah transmigrasi. Nuansa pertanian menjadi karakteristik Kabupaten Buru sehingga ditetapkan sebagai daerah lumbung beras nasional. Namun sejak ditemukan emas di Gunung Botak dan Gogrea pada 2011, Kabupaten Buru berubah menjadi daerah pertambangan emas ilegal. Akibatnya terjadi kerusakan dan pencemaran lingkungan yang masif disebabkan penggunaan sianida dan mercuri oleh penambang ilegal. Mengatasi persoalan ini, Pemerintah Provinsi Maluku bekerjasama dengan pihak ketiga (swasta) melakukan normalisasi dan perbaikan lingkungan di bekas tambang ilegal tetapi kerjasama dimaksud diduga rawan korupsi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melakukan pencegahan korupsi disektor ini. Metode penelitian menggunakan Social Network Analysis, datanya bersifat kualitatif. Temuan penelitian yaitu kerjasama antara pemerintah Provinsi Maluku dengan pihak ketiga (swasta) yang diduga rawan korupsi dapat dicegah dengan melakukan pemetaan kerawanan korupsi untuk mengetahui pola relasi antar aktor kerjasama yang dapat cendrung mudah disuap sehingga diperoleh model kerjasama yang tidak berimplikasi korupsi.

The policy of payment for forest environmental services (PFES) has been implemented in Vietnam since 2011 and in Hoa Binh province since 2013. Governmental agencies have conventionally implemented PFES at central, provincial, and district levels. However, there areshared responsibilitiesof the governmental organizations and otherstakeholders at different levels in reality. Using social network analysis (SNA) indicators shows that the provincial Forest Forest Protection and Development Fundplays the most important role among involving stakeholders. Both density and centrality measurements have shown that the stakeholders in the PFES implementation network in Hoa Binh province have good coherence. Additionally,district-level governmental organizations and Viettel TelecomCompany have showntheir powerlessnessin the policy implementation network

Abstract Social systems are complex structures that consist of different sub-systems. Therefore, understanding social systems is more difficult than comprehending electronic or mechanical systems. What makes social systems more complex than other systems is that society is not simply the sum of each individual in the society. In the current global system, the countries, which have become small villages, try to meet national security needs by converting the unknown to known and identifying the correlation among political, military, social and economic events. The current crisis management concepts are conducted through systematic approaches. Besides, the management of social, economic and political crises need to be conducted in a holistic approach covering all sub-systems. At this point, the function of Social Network Analysis (SNA) emerges. SNA, which forms the main subject of this paper, is a tool for examining the structure of a crisis through correlating the sub-elements. The aim of this study is to show how SNA can be used in crisis management. First, SNA is performed on a generic crisis situation and the results are presented. Then, the additional critical data requirements are put forward to manage the crisis effectively.

Social Network Analysis (SNA) has become the most demanded relational approach in the field of basic science and applied science in the last 20 years. Researchers and professionals from traditional social, natural, and exact disciplines agree on the interest in what some identify as the paradigm across the field of traditional sciences problems. While SNA deepens and grows in its developments, analysis, and tools, the demand for courses of graduate and postgraduate academic training increases; as well as the instances of professional updating in both public and private development and management sectors. Based on the supposition that both sectors are related with research work trajectories rooted in institutional and current issues, in this work we aim to present the basic guidelines of our strategies for putting together courses about SNA. Considering three levels based on epistemological, methodological, and transference criteria for the resolution of problems, we propose five lines to be taken into consideration in order to know, develop and apply relational research. The procedures for the design of tools that will allow the collection and construction of databases or the identification of appropriate information for a study of SNA. The analytical path must be explained both in its complexity of combined methods and in the strategies for the identification of patterns as well as the construction of models. Finally, the problems and study frameworks, the research procedures, and the transference instances can be controlled and assessed by testing results and model approximation. Academic and professional training courses provide tools for the appreciation of SNA conceptual fields together with the approximation and delimitation of feasible empiric problems to be studied by SNA.

Collaboration in tourism is widely perceived as a solution for achieving success and for ensuring sustainability in tourist destinations. However, collaboration is a complex and dynamic process, and although there is a growing interest in understanding its mechanisms, much remains unexplored on the matter. The aim of this paper is to operationalise a network approach in analysing characteristics of collaboration in tourism and then to reveal structural weaknesses and strengths from a destination management perspective. The background for analysis is a well-known tourist destination in Romania (Vatra Dornei) that can be considered illustrative for a large spectrum of Eastern European destinations. Methodologically, Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques were employed, centred on matters related to density and centrality of the tourism network. The results reveal a series of deficiencies inside the network, which have to be addressed by policymakers: (i) a general low level of collaboration; (ii) poor communication between public and private sectors; (iii) a reduced number of central stakeholders but high diversity regarding their fields of activity. The study contributes to the literature by advancing knowledge on particularities of collaboration among tourism stakeholders, while also adding evidence to the utility of SNA in understanding relational dynamics specific to tourism destinations.

Crisis Prevention

AbstractThis article examines risk communication and perception differences via social media in the context of crisis management. Based on data from the Shifang Protest, this study constructed a relational matrix identifying how critical actors facilitated risk communication and interactions. In addition, the article identified measures of network structure and risk perception differences with Social Network Analysis (i.e. density, centralization, structure holes and subgroups) using UCINET software program along visual structures with NetDraw. Key findings of this study include: a) ranked actors controlled most of the information resources and threat diffusion; b) the level of interaction between government users and others users is extremely low; and c) divergence occurred between personal (informal) and official (formal) nodes in the context of risk perception.
