Abstract
If natural disasters are mainly caused by hazards and social vulnerability, then public security incidents are mainly caused by social risks brought about by social transformation and development, including focusing on a single social development goal, unbalanced social structure, imbalance of interest relations, and proliferating social conflicts. At present, many social conflicts and mass incidents are often associated with NIMBY facilities, employee-employer relationship, and community-level conflicts. Dealing with these problems, coordinating these relationships, and resolving conflicts at their rudimentary stages are of great positive significance for easing social conflicts and resolving social risks.

The concept of disasters used by the international community often includes both natural and man-made disasters, such as accidents in production. However, since ancient times, Chinese distinguish natural disasters from man-made disasters, the concept of disasters only refers to natural disasters.
