“…These studies shed light on both the effectiveness and the challenges inherent in government communication strategies during public health emergencies. Research conducted by Hou et al [27] and Zhang et al [28] both focused on environmental policy, discussing how public demands for environmental quality influence environmental regulation and green technology innovation. In terms of accountability, research by Berliner et al [29] revealed public demands for government transparency and accountability mechanisms, while Fan and Meng [30] demonstrated that effective governance mechanisms can enhance the quality and utilization of open data, strengthening government accountability.…”

This study aims to enhance governmental decision-making by leveraging advanced topic modeling algorithms to analyze public letters on the "People Call Me" online government inquiry platform in Zhejiang Province, China. Employing advanced web scraping techniques, we collected publicly available letter data from Hangzhou City between June 2022 and May 2023. Initial descriptive statistical analyses and text mining were conducted, followed by topic modeling using the BERTopic algorithm. Our findings indicate that public demands are chiefly focused on livelihood security and rights protection, and these demands exhibit a diversity of characteristics. Furthermore, the public’s response to significant emergency events demonstrates both sensitivity and deep concern, underlining its pivotal role in government emergency management. This research not only provides a comprehensive landscape of public demands but also validates the efficacy of the BERTopic algorithm for extracting such demands, thereby offering valuable insights to bolster the government’s agility and resilience in emergency responses, enhance public services, and modernize social governance.
