近年来,越来越多地使用网络分析来了解协调行动中的行为者和组织之间的关系。审查救灾网络的结构和功能受到特别关注。在网络研究中使用不同的数据收集和分析方法。使用文档作为数据源也获得了吸引力。学者们利用文献的内容分析来揭示网络结构,即,核心“节点”和功能。这在紧急情况和危机管理中尤其重要,因为相关网络涉及来自不同部门和管辖区的一系列复杂行为体,代表们的第一手回忆可能不包括与他们合作的每一次互动和具体行为体。随着利用率的提高,有必要了解文件使用的方法过程,将其作为应急管理中数据分析的主要手段。本研究填补了这一空白,提供了一个系统的文献综述的实证研究,在广泛的主题,讨论了文件收集和使用网络分析。此外,本研究提供了一个详细的例子,文件识别和收集的方法,数据生成和组织过程,以及网络可视化和分析在紧急和危机管理的背景下。该研究的结论是回答,对于灾害响应网络,利用什么类型的文件数据,以及如何使用它们,在利用这种方法中普遍存在的灾害类型,以及进行分析和可视化网络的过程。
The use of network analysis to understand relationships among actors and organizations in coordinated actions has grown in recent years. Examining the network structure and functions in disaster response has gained particular attention. Different methods of data collection and analysis are utilized in network research. The use of documents as a data source has also gained traction. Scholars utilize content analysis of documents to uncover network structure, i.e., core “nodes,” and functions. This is especially critical in emergency and crisis management as the associated network involves complex set of actors from different sectors and jurisdictions, and first-hand recollections of representatives might not be inclusive of every interaction and specific actors they worked with. With augmented utilization, there is a need to understand the methodological process of document use as a primary means of data analysis in emergency management. This study fills that gap by providing a systematic literature review of empirical studies across a broad range of subjects that have discussed document collection and use for network analysis. Furthermore, this study provides a detailed example of the method of document identification and collection, data generation and organization process, and network visualization and analysis in an emergency and crisis management context. The study concludes with answering, for disaster response networks, what types of documentary data are utilized and how they are used, the types of disasters that have been prevalent in utilizing this method, and the process undertaken to analyze and visualize networks.
