Study On The Emergency Management Of The Local Universities

Emergencies can bring the property damage and personal injury, and induce greatersocial and political conflicts.In recent years, there are many emergencies such as foodpoisoning, student suicide, academic corruption et al.in the universities. Local universities is agathering place for all types of emergencies, for it is a major component of higher educationin China. Local universities have to respond to and manage these unexpected eventsactively which not only related to the stability of the local universities, but also ensured andpromoted stability, harmony and development to the economy and society. After years ofefforts, progresses have been made in the laws, regulations, technical measures and platformconstruction of emergency management in China. But the theory of emergency managementis not comprehensive enough, especially emergency management capacity has not formed asystematic and scientific management theory and methods of local universities. Based onthese, the paper studies the Local Universities’ Emergencies(LUE) formation mechanism,emergency management capability index system, emergency management capability indexevaluation model, and emergency management countermeasures around emergencymanagement capability assessment and coping strategies.The primary works and conclusionsare:(1)Analyzed the classifications, characteristics and reasons of the LUE, uncovered themechanism of LUE, and built the theoretical basis of emergency management capacity oflocal universities.Firstly, the paper defined the terms including, Local Universities’ Emergency (LUE),Local Universities’ Emergency Management (LUEM) and the Capability of LocalUniversities’ Emergency Management (CLUEM). Secondly, the paper made the classificationof LUE from the perspective of the nature and the reason of emergency. Thirdly, the papersummarized, refined and resolved the characteristics of the local universities based on thestatus quo and the former studies. Finally, the paper analyzed the reason of LUE, and discussed the mechanism of LUE. Through the studies of these content, the paper built up atheoretical foundation of the CLUEM.(2)Built the indicator system of CLUEM.Firstly, the paper established construction principles and processes of emergencymanagement evaluation index system. Secondly, the paper established6first-class indicatorsinclude capability of emergency planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, controllingand resource assuring based (1). Then, the6first-class indicators subdivided into37second-class indicators which had been detailed description in the paper. And the indicatorsystem of CLUEM was formed. Finally, the paper test the indicator system of CLUEMthrough questionnaires and empirical testing methods.(3)Set up the assess model of the indicators for CLUEM.Firstly, the paper established specific quantitative criteria to37secondary indicators onthe basis of five rating degree. Secondly, the paper built pairwise judgment matrices byAnalytic Hierarchy Process(AHP), calculated the initial value of the index weight by surveydata and expert judgment, and determined the weight of each index value by using EntropyValue Correction Method(EVCM). Finally, assess model of the indicators for CLUEM wasset up by using the Multi-level Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Model(MFCEM).(4)Proposed the solutions for LUEM.In terms of the characteristics and problems of LUE, the paper proposed the strategy ofLUEM from the functions of external relevant bodies and internal measures of localuniversities. The external level included the government motivating, the interactions betweenuniversities, and guiding multimedias for positive campaign and leading the public sentimentout of negative reports. The internal level included assuring the resource sufficiently andimprove every aspect of the emergency management capability steadily.(5)Proved the assess model of the indicators for CLUEM through case study.With the assess model for CLUEM, the paper analyzed the emergency managementcapabilities of three typical local universities. The consequent showed that result of assessmodel is consistent with the actual situation of three universities of emergency management.The model also found that they all need improvements in aspects of risk analysis, hiddendanger checking, propaganda and education, training and practice, information collection andpropagation capability, cooperation capability, emergency plan application capability,information system assurance capability and etc.Above study the studies provided theoretical and practical supports in respect of LUEM,the application of study findings will continue to safeguard the security and stability of universities, build a harmonious campus environment, and make contributions for socialdevelopment. It also provide a reference of other areas of emergency management.
