Abstract

Systematically analyzing the current status and problems of the Community Emergency Management Policy (CEMP) system in China and proposing practical suggestions that are conducive to subsequent policy formulation and improvement are important for improving community emergency management capabilities and levels and promoting sustainable community development. Based on the two-dimensional analysis framework of “policy tools–policy objectives”, this paper draws from content analysis and social network analysis, quantitatively analyzing the CEMP texts at the national level from 2004 to 2024. The results show that the CEMP system in China has essentially taken shape, but there are still some problems, such as the uneven use of policy tools, the unbalanced internal structure of policy tools, the large distribution gap of policy objective elements, and the adaptability between policy tools and policy objectives, which needs to be improved. Given these results, we suggest 1) Appropriately increasing the frequency of using demand-type policy tools and effectively optimizing the internal structure of the three main types of policy tools; 2) Comprehensively deepening the reform of CEMP objectives; and 3) Reasonably improving the adaptability between policy tools and objectives.
