ABSTRACT

The Sewol Ferry accident in 2014 had a significant impact on Korean society. In response to the national-scale disaster, there was a limit to what a single institution can do to facilitate an effective recovery of the society. This study aims to analyze the cooperative relations of 38 organizations which have participated in psychosocial support activities after the Sewol Ferry accident. The results from the social network analysis (SNA) showed that cooperative relationships among those institutions were generally low. Specifically, the degree of cooperation among the institutions was found to be lowest for human resources, but relatively high with respect to information/data transfer. The results from the centrality analysis indicated that ‘Ansan Mental Health Trauma Center’ played the most central role in disaster support network. In addition, the major players in this network were mainly public institutions, while private agencies or local community organizations were somewhat limited in their ability to mobilize support. Based on the findings, the implications on disaster support systems were discussed.
