Abstract

Individual's behavior and sentiment in online environments have become increasingly reactive to disaster events. Monitoring and analyzing these behaviors and sentiments in the context of manmade disasters provides valuable insights for crisis management professionals. These analytical processes help develop a comprehensive understanding of evolving situations, support effective response strategies, and contribute to societal stability. Employing appropriate methodologies and tools enables the capture and tracking of semantic shifts in social media communications, offering a means to observe their evolution over time.
In this study, we present research conducted on the Manchester Arena Bombing incident in the United Kingdom, which occurred on May 22, 2017, focusing on leveraging data from Twitter (now X). Using Orange, a text-mining analysis software, we explored key discussion topics and their dynamics from messages published immediately after the incident up to a week and a month later. The results demonstrate the evolution of emotional expressions in citizens’ messages during each disaster phase analyzed, including the prevalence of negative and positive sentiments during the recovery phase.
不断演变的情绪:追踪曼彻斯特竞技场爆炸事件后的社交媒体叙事
个人在网络环境中的行为和情绪对灾难事件的反应越来越强烈。在人为灾难的背景下监测和分析这些行为和情绪为危机管理专业人员提供了宝贵的见解。这些分析过程有助于全面了解不断变化的局势,支持有效的应对战略,并有助于社会稳定。采用适当的方法和工具可以捕获和跟踪社交媒体通信中的语义变化,提供一种观察其随时间演变的方法。在这项研究中,我们介绍了对2017年5月22日发生在英国曼彻斯特竞技场爆炸事件的研究,重点是利用Twitter(现在的X)的数据。使用文本挖掘分析软件Orange,我们从事件发生后立即发布到一周和一个月后的消息中,探索了关键的讨论主题及其动态。结果表明,在每个分析的灾难阶段,公民信息中的情绪表达的演变,包括在恢复阶段的消极情绪和积极情绪的流行。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
