Cultivation effects of mass and social media on perceptions and behavioural intentions in post-disaster recovery - The case of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake

Cheng, John W.; Mitomo, Hitoshi; Otsuka, Tokio; Jeon, Stefan Y.

Telematics and Informatics 33(3) p.753 - 7722016/01-2016/01

ISSN：07365853

Outline：© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Prior research has found that both mass and social media can play an influential role in post-disaster recovery. In particular, media information has been found to encourage people to support the recovery efforts. However, the mechanisms underlying this process have not been thoroughly investigated. Such knowledge is essential for both governments and non-governmental organisations so that they may apply these findings in post-disaster recovery. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to conduct an in-depth investigation on how mass and social media can influence people's perceptions of a disaster and their behavioural intentions with respect to post-disaster recovery activities. This study uses the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake as a case study, and employs structural equation modelling with a data set of 2047 samples collected from an original Internet survey. Through the lens of cultivation theory, we find that mass and social media can play different roles and exert different influences on people's perceptions of the disaster. Mass media, specifically television is found to be the most influential, especially on those not directly affected by the disaster. Social media, on the other hand, although with a much weaker effect, can resonate more with those who were directly affected. Further, a positive perception of strong bonds in families and society as a result of media exposure is found to be the most effective in increasing the intention to participate in activities related to recovery such as boosting civic communications, taking altruistic actions and preparing for future disasters. The findings have implications for post-disaster recovery, in that they can provide a roadmap on how information via mass and social media can be used to motivate and connect the general public and the disaster victims.

The Smart Revolution Towards the Sustainable Digital Society: Beyond the Era of Convergence p.1 - 3862015/07-2015/07

Outline：© Hitoshi Mitomo, Hidenori Fuke and Erik Bohlin 2015. All rights reserved. The objective of this book is to present a comprehensive evaluation of the smart revolution, including its social and economic impacts. It proposes a modern framework to help assess how recent information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to societies as a whole. The authors offer a guide to how advanced network technologies have led to a greater variety of applications and social networking services. These allow people to connect with each other both at a more personal and global level, and will ultimately herald a new era of ICTs that will shape the "digital society".

Analysis of the Internet users incentives to conduct "multi-task usage"

KONDO Masanori;NAKAMURA Akihiro;MITOMO Hitoshi

Journal of Information and Communication Research 32(4) p.35 - 442015-2015

ISSN：0289-4513

Outline：In recent years, it has been observed that many internet users engage in so-called "multi-task usage" or accessing the Internet while doing something else such as watching TV, or listening to the radio or music. This phenomenon is of particular interest for the way in which time is used concurrently for different tasks but it is difficult to estimate the benefit derived from this activity by using an ordinary maximizing utility framework under budget constraints including time allocation. In this study, we consider the "multi-task usage" of the Internet as a "new service" which becomes available because of new developments in technology. We used methods of evaluating a consumer surplus when there is a new product or service in the market. Based on the data available, our estimate indicates that the surplus amounts to about JPY 3,500 a day for an average user and that this can be greater within the current smart phone usage environment.

A Proposal for a Sustainable Broadband Service in Rural Japan

MITOMO Hitoshi

Journal of Information and Communication Research 33(1) p.37 - 462015-2015

ISSN：0289-4513

Outline：This paper outlines a proposal for a new framework for the provision of a universal service aimed at solving the various issues inherent in community informatization, and goes on to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed framework and review its feasibility. In order to ensure that telecommunications services are universally accessible, in less favored areas, a universal service is currently provided for analog landline telephones by using a universal service fund system to supplement a portion of the costs of the qualified telecommunications carriers. With the development of optical networks, optical IP phones have also been included as a technology for which universal service is provided, but at the same time dependence on landline phones is decreasing due to the popularity and convenience of cell-phones. As this is accompanied by developments such as the fact that almost 100% of Japanese households now have broadband access, there is a pressing need for radical review of the system from a technical perspective. Additionally, given that consumers organizations and other bodies strongly oppose the fact that carriers pass on the burden of their universal service fund contributions so that the full amount of contributions is shared among telephone number users, it is also necessary to reconsider the approach to how cost burdens are shared. At the same time, while 2.5 GHz band regional Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) has been made available for providing broadband in rural areas, its level of usage is low and ensuring its utilization is a matter of urgency. This paper will deal with these issues collectively, and propose a framework for maintaining and developing community informatization.

The Effects of the Use of Web 2.0 Applications and Television on Social Capital in Post-Disaster Recovery:A Case Study of the Great East Japan Earthquake

CHENG John William;JEON Stefan Yonggyun;OTSUKA Tokio;MITOMO Hitoshi

Journal of Information and Communication Research 32(2) p.51 - 662014-2014

ISSN：0289-4513

Outline：The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of the use of new and traditional media in post-disaster recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake using data collected from the disaster area in March 2013. This study found that the use of both new (Web 2.0 applications) and traditional (informative television programmes) media can create some positive but indirect effects on the development of social capital elements that are critical for post-disaster recovery such as bonding trust, bridging networks and civic participation. These effects are mediated by online civic participation, which itself can be encouraged by the complementary use of television and Web 2.0 applications. By showing the effects and the mechanisms of the use of media on social capital development, the findings have some important implications for researchers as well as authorities and NGOs that are working on post-disaster recovery.

ISSN：0289-4513

Outline：As the smartphone market grows rapidly, communication via smartphones is getting more popular and widespread in the world. Among others, use of mobile based Social Networking Services (SNS) has become a major communication method even with mobile phones. Especially, the Twitter, 140 character text-based SNS, well matches with the smartphone characteristics of instant Internet access with limited bandwidth, thus being the center of mobile based SNS usage especially by the young generation in East Asian metropolises such as Seoul and Tokyo. This paper explores the influence of smartphonebased Twitter usage by these young consumers through their smartphones on their social and interpersonal relations. It analyzes how the usage affects the relationships among college students by applying a cause-effect model with several latent factors, namely the usage of mobilebased Twitter, social network building, individual factors and social influence, which are composed of several observable variables. A structural equation model successfully visualized the correlations among the latent and observable variables. The result shows that the usage of smartphone-based Twitter in the young generation in Seoul and Tokyo has a limited influence on the social and interpersonal relationships in real life, and that persons having expertise have more social influence than celebrities having more Twitter followers.

Outline：© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Smart wearable devices offer much potential to assist citizens in disasters. To the general public, however, using these devices for disaster applications is still a novel concept. In disasters, most people are reluctant to rely on unfamiliar technologies. Thus, for these devices to become truly useful in disasters, it is important to understand factors that affect their acceptance by the public. Previous studies show that perceived usefulness is a clear antecedent of people's acceptance of smart wearable devices. However, the underlying factors that affect perceived usefulness itself are not clearly known. Thus, the aim of this study is to fill this gap, and by doing so, to derive some practical implications for solution developers and governments. This study used structural equation modelling to analyse survey data collected from 647 respondents in Japan. We found that the respondents’ perceived usefulness of the current applications of smart wearable devices was a strong predictor of their perceived usefulness of using these devices for disaster applications. Although indirect factors such as the ownership of ICT gadgets and the usage of social media also had some influences, most of their effects were mediated through increasing the respondents’ perceived usefulness of the current applications. In other words, through appreciating the functions of the current applications of smart wearable devices, people can visualise the usefulness of these devices in disaster situations. That being said, we found that in parallel, people also had concerns on the privacy issues of these devices. These findings shed light on the promotion and development of this fast growing technology for disaster applications.

Effects of Media Information on Collective Resilience in a Disaster-A Case Study of the Crisis of Stranded Commuters in Tokyo During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake

Outline：© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd and Asian Association of Social Psychology. This article examines the relations between media information and collective resilience-collective solidarity behaviours that emerge from a crowd-in a disaster. It uses the crisis of stranded commuters in Tokyo during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake as a case study with data collected from an original survey. Using a cluster analysis and a multinomial logistic regression, it is found that media information is positively related to the characteristics of collective resilience, such as shared identity and mutual help. Specifically, among those who felt threatened by the disaster, people who had received more information from media, particularly from social media and mobile telephones, were more likely to display higher levels of these characteristics. It is contended that this is because media information can help people to feel more empowered and, thus, more willing to interact with and help others.
