Abstract  

[Objective] This paper explores the dissemination laws of online public opinion during emergencies (OPOE), aiming to help governments guide and regulate such information.[Methods] First, we used “Xiangshui Explosion Accident in Jiangsu Province” as an example and introduced unique variables for this type of events. Then, we constructed a system dynamics model for OPOE. Third, we simulated and analyzed the proposed model with Vensim software. Finally, we adopted the government-related variables as control variables to discuss the impact of government behavior on online public opinion.[Results] For the simulation experiment, the MAPE values of the online posts and news were 18% and 27%. Thus, the simulation model is feasible and could effectively describe the developing trends of online public opinions. More importantly, the government reactions also posed significant effects to the dissemination of public opinions.[Limitations] Some of our data were from questionnaires and expert scoring, which might be biased.[Conclusions] The OPOE generally rises rapidly to the peak and then slowly declines. The government response time, level of reactions and transparency of official news posed positive, negative and negative effects to evolving of public opinions.

1 网民微博发帖量 INTEG(微博发布增加量-微博发布减少量,160) 网民一天内在微博上的总发帖量,公式由系统自定义。
2 网民微博发布增加量 网民微博发帖量×EXP(-网民关注度) 有关事件的所有微博在一天内的增加量。
3 网民微博发布减少量 微博沉寂系数×网民微博发帖量 网民微博发帖量降低的速率和网民微博发帖量相乘即为微博发布减少量。
4 网民微博沉寂系数[20] 0.23 由于网民关注度下降、时间流逝等种种原因,使得水污染事件不再受到关注。沉寂系数是指网民微博发帖量降低的速率。
5 网民参与度[21] 100-34.8×EXP(-0.000 083 88×网民微博发帖量) 模型假设网民微博发帖量能够代表网民参与度,其中权重值参考文献[21]。
6 网络舆情热度[15] 0.5036×网民参与度+0.3067×网媒参与度-0.1897×网民对政府满意度 网络舆情热度受到这三个因素的直接作用,三个因素的权重由专家打分法得到,最终权重结果采用各个专家平均值。
7 网民关注度 水体污染程度×(0.10×政府关注度+0.40×网媒参与度+0.25×网络舆情热度-0.25×网民对政府满意度) 网民关注度受到这5个因素的直接作用,其中的权重值由专家打分法得到,最终权重结果采用各个专家平均值。
