Abstract

This article examines the role of cross-sectoral collaboration in disaster management, specifically in waterlogging mitigation in Tianjin and Chongqing, China. Utilizing complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory, content analysis, and social network analysis (SNA), it finds both cities display hybrid forms of hierarchical and network governance in their collaboration efforts. Tianjin’s collaboration is primarily among public sectors, whereas Chongqing should enhance public-private sector ties to boost collaboration effectiveness. The study highlights the significance of adapting collaboration strategies to enhance disaster management efficiency, offering insights into overcoming collaboration challenges and improving governance dynamics in disaster situations.
