| Zusammenfassung |
| Networks and networking are important for building social capacities for
natural hazards. However, up to now, it has been an open question which types
of networks contribute to capacity building under certain circumstances. The
paper focuses on the type of a goal-oriented network. The distinction between
goal orientation and goal directedness is used to show the following: goal
directedness of networks to build capacities for natural hazards involves
intensive and continuous processes of "sensemaking" (Weick, 1995) to
specify the network goal. This process of specifying an initial goal
statement is important in small and large networks at the regional level. The
governance form of a lead organization network facilitates goal
specification. The paper illustrates these findings through evidence from two
case studies conducted in the Dresden region in Germany. |
