Description:
Many environmental hazards and risks span physical and administrative boundaries. Human behaviors, policies, and institutions are capable of dampening or amplifying the shared nature of these risks. Managing risk involves grappling with complex sets of social and environmental interdependencies that evolve over time. Such interdependencies highlight the value of accounting for connections among places and people in the study and practice of risk planning, preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery. In particular, network science offers a set of concepts and analytical tools for evaluating factors that affect risk exposure (e.g., the likelihood that hazard events can be transmitted from one place to another) as well as risk mitigation outcomes (e.g., how collaborative policy networks function to reduce hazard conditions). Despite considerable research on spatial dimensions of hazards and the role of social and policy networks in hazard-prone landscapes, there has been limited research that explicitly integrates spatial and social networks to diagnose and address environmental hazards and risk.
