Public opinion analysis for COVID-19(COVID-19舆情分析)

Introduction: In December, 2019, there was an outbreak of pneumonia associated with the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei province in China. On the afternoon of January 30th, Geneva, World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus outbreak in China as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). As a growing number of confirmed cases of infections is reported, the Chinese government have taken prompt response measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Public risk communication activities have been carried out to improve public awareness and adoption of self-protection measures. With the rapid development of Internet, more and more people like to express their opinions and views on social media ( e.g. Sina-Microblog), which provides an innovative approach to observe public opinion under emergencies in disaster events. The Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge Service System of IKCEST analyzes public opinion during the novel coronavirus outbreak through integrating the social media analytics and GIS methods.

Microblog (http://us.weibo.com), a Twitter-like microblogging system, is the most popular microblogging service in China. Through the permitted data API of sina Microblog, original Microblog messages are collected with “coronavirus” and “pneumonia” as the keywords since 00:00 on January 9, 2020. The following information was extracted: user ID, timestamp (i.e., the time when the message was posted), text (i.e., the text message posted by a user), and location information. Then, we analyzed the Microblog texts related to the novel coronavirus outbreak in terms of space and time. The temporal changes within an hour and one day intervals are investigated. The spatial distribution on provincial levels of epidemic-related Microblog are analyzed. And we performed a kernel density estimation using ArcGIS to identify the hot spots of public opinion.

Safety of Built Environment (Policy Analysis) (建筑环境安全(政策分析))

Introduction: This course introduces the role of UNESCO in Disaster Risk Reduction, which promotes international and interdisciplinary cooperation in many aspects of Disaster Risk Reduction. In terms of earthquake disasters, this course analyses the current situation of earthquake disasters and concludes that the main cause of death in earthquakes is the collapse of buildings. In order to raise the awareness of policy makers in earthquake-prone countries of publishing earthquake hazards caused by building collapse, UNESCO collects information on strategies in building environment through questionnaires and analyses the status quo and evening extent of anti-earthquake and disaster strategies in a country or region through various ways. Finally, the existing classical cases are introduced, and possible suggestions on the overall approach/priority and cross-border cooperation are put forward.

Use of Earth Observation Technology for Disaster Mitigation(利用地球观测技术减轻灾害)

Introduction: This course is intended to provide an overview of selected existing methodologies and tools for disaster risk management and studies and build capacities on the remote sensing methodology for identifying and reducing risks related to disasters and climate change (Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks for sustainable development). A series of case studies will be present to help all the participants understand main threats of the human society from disasters and climate change (Strengthen the understanding of disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels). The course will build up a common understanding of the main challenges of the human society to disasters and climate change, and main lessons from past experience (Post disaster damage is linked to pre-disaster vulnerability due to lack of maintenance and loss of knowledge).
