新冠肺炎疫情是人类迈向风险社会过程中的一次巨大考验。从风险社会学视角来看,它跟人类所处的自然与社会环境以及人类社会行动的未预期后果密切联系,具有突发性、不确定性、紧迫性、复合性和危害性等特征。这种非常态情境的疫情灾害给国家应急管理和风险治理带来了巨大的挑战。为此,必须构建一种与风险社会相适应的“社会治理共同体”,以共同抵御疫情的蔓延和社会风险的扩散。

The Outbreak of COVID-19 and Community Prevention and Control
An Analysis from the Perspective of Risk Sociology
Wen Jun (East China Normal University)
Abstract The outbreak of novel corona virus pneumonia has posed a severe test for mankind in the pro-cess of moving towards the era of risk society. From the perspective of risk sociology, the epidemic is closely related to the natural and social environment of human beings as well as to the unexpected consequences of human social actions with such characteristics as suddenness, uncertainty, urgency, compounding and harmfulness. This kind of epidemic disaster in abnormal situations brings great challenges to national emergency management and risk management. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a “social governance community” that can accommodate the risk society in order to jointly resist the spread of the epidemic and social risks.
Key words COVID-19; sociology of risk; risk society; community governance community; epidemic prevention and control; public safety
