Network analysis and GIS enable the presentation of meaningful data about organizational relationships and community characteristics, respectively. Together, these tools can provide a concrete representation of the ecological context in which coalitions operate, and may help coalitions identify opportunities for growth and enhanced effectiveness. This study uses network analysis and GIS mapping as part of an evaluation of the One Strong 'Ohana (OSO) campaign. The OSO campaign was launched in 2012 via a partnership between the Hawai'i Children's Trust Fund (HCTF) and the Joyful Heart Foundation. The OSO campaign uses a collaborative approach aimed at increasing public awareness of child maltreatment and protective factors that can prevent maltreatment, as well as enhancing the effectiveness of the HCTF Coalition. This study focuses on three elements of the OSO campaign evaluation: (1) Network analysis exploring the relationships between 24 active Coalition member organizations, (2) GIS mapping of responses to a randomized statewide phone survey (n = 1,450) assessing awareness of factors contributing to child maltreatment, and (3) Combined GIS maps and network data, illustrating opportunities for geographically-targeted coalition building and public awareness activities.
网络分析和 GIS 分别能够呈现有关组织关系和社区特征的有意义数据。这些工具一起可以为联盟运作的生态背景提供具体的表示形式,并帮助联盟确定增长和提高效率的机会。本研究使用网络分析和 GIS 制图作为对“一个坚强的大家庭”(OSO)运动评估的一部分。OSO 运动于 2012 年通过夏威夷儿童信托基金(HCTF)和欢乐之心基金会之间的合作伙伴关系发起。OSO 运动采用合作方法,旨在提高公众对虐待儿童和预防虐待的保护因素的认识,并提高 HCTF 联盟的效力。本研究侧重于 OSO 运动评估的三个要素:(1)探索 24 个活跃联盟成员组织之间关系的网络分析,(2)对全州随机电话调查(n=1450)的响应进行 GIS 制图,评估导致虐待儿童的因素的认识,以及(3)结合 GIS 地图和网络数据,说明针对地理区域的联盟建设和公众意识活动的机会。
