Study on the Ecological Operation Model of Settlements Based on Social Network Analysis: Stakeholder Perspective

The appropriate ecological operation method is suggested in order to create a harmonious human settlement environment and achieve the sustainable development of residential areas. The key to determining whether the model can be successfully implemented is now the stakeholders. Scholars feel that stakeholders in the urban development process should sustain collaboration, and they suggest collaborative measures because they have successfully identified these parties. Nevertheless, there are distinctions between the specialized research of ecological operation stakeholders and the disregard for internal differences of related groups. In order to examine the relationship strength and network density, structural location, and role interaction, this article employs social network analysis to examine the cohesiveness, relevance, reciprocity, transitivity, hierarchy, and agency of the stakeholder relationship network in the ecological operation. Interest disagreements, solutions, and recommendations among participants encourage the effective application of the ecological operating model. The study demonstrates that there are no factions, and that weak links dominate the stakeholder relationship network in ecological operations, exhibiting a core-periphery relationship structure. High relevance, high reciprocity, and high transmissibility describe the relationship network. Although the network's overall power is dispersed, each group's power is centralized. Residents and social organizations in residential areas are in a poor position, since governments at all levels have strong control over them. In order to optimize relationships and collaborative governance, which is helpful for implementing the ecological operation mode and realizing harmony and oneness between man and nature, the study explored the relationship network structure and features of stakeholders in the ecological operation.
