Abstract
Community governance needs a small group discussion among community people to identify their concerns, to share them each other and to generate better alternatives for solving problems. A planner should manage the discussion to achieve these objectives. This study analyzed the small group discussion in the community disaster risk management by using text mining. Correspondence analysis was applied to the text data of the discussion. Analytical results revealed the characteristics and effects of small group discussion.
