Quantification and Analysis of Group Sentiment in Electromagnetic Radiation Public Opinion Events
This research focuses on developing a sentiment-based system to analyze public opinion on electromagnetic radiation in online networks. Issues related to EMR, such as the NIMBY effect and negative public sentiment, can lead to health crises, social conflicts, and challenges in decision-making. This study addresses limitations in existing research, including inaccurate data collection and a lack of systematic analysis. By incorporating Jieba Chinese word segmentation technology, this study introduces an innovative data collection method based on topic similarity, significantly improving data accuracy. Additionally, this research establishes a comprehensive public opinion analysis framework that integrates user follower counts, geographical distribution, and interaction data. This framework facilitates the identification of sources of negative sentiment and the development of effective response strategies. As a case study, the dissemination patterns of EMR-related public opinion on Weibo are analyzed, focusing on group sentiment and social interaction. The proposed system achieves a 65.85% improvement in data collection accuracy, demonstrating its effectiveness. Furthermore, this study provides actionable recommendations for relevant departments and governments to monitor, analyze, and respond to EMR-related public opinion. By enhancing decision-making and protecting public interests, this study highlights the role of technology in improving social governance and substantial development.
