A Study on the Types of Collective Actions in Nature Disasters and Its Forming Logics

In recent years,the sociology of disaster to which the academic circle attached little importance has been the main academic field for scholars because of the frequent occurrence of disaster. How to introduce the major social theory into the diverse nature disasters has been the important issue of future sociology of disaster. From the perspective of collective actions,this paper conducts a basic study on the classification of nature disasters in a descriptive way. It is an important issue in practice and theory which has attracted the attention from the governments and academic circle to display the positive factors of collective actions in disasters instead of its negative ones. In fact,victims are satisfied with the aid from those outside the disaster stricken areas from the perspective of nature disasters,thus promoting the forming of positive collective actions. On the contrary,victims are liable to focus on the man-made reasons from the man-made perspective,which will not only cause a variety of negative conflict and even threat the government’s political stability and social fair and stability. The government should divert the situation definition from manmade factors to nature forces by the way of issuing information of disaster on time and referring to experts suggestions. The paper also argues that besides technological aid,the governments should pay attention to the weak group,establish the trust mechanism,and promote the cooperation between the government and nongovernmental organizations. In addition,the government is expected to deal with disaster in a flexible way and improve its ability to handle disaster crisis in a fair manner. Only in this way,can we achieve our goal in dealing with disaster.
