This book offers an overview of social media usage in Japan and
describes its role in society during mid-level disruptions by
natural disasters. Conceived during and after the Great East
Japan Earthquake that devastated large portions of the
north-eastern area of Japan, this volume addresses the links
between Japanese civil society and the social media scene, using
both traditional hypothesis testing, social surveys and
large-scale big data analysis to provide insight into the
development of an online community for connecting citizens.
Considering the connection of civil society organizations,
citizens and local governments through online communication,
notably social media, and how to promote higher levels of citizen
engagement in Japan, it offers solutions for a more prepared,
resilient communication network among citizens in case of another
large scale disaster.
