“…An important aspect of establishing an information worldview is the harmonisation of the fundamental elements of the information environment. One of them is the communication aspect, which has become crucial for the worldview paradigm, as it is a source and translator of information (Burger, 2022).…”

Aims: The purpose of the research is to scientifically define and philosophically comprehend the components of the new information worldview and its positioning in the development strategy of the cultural and historical era. The article reveals the content and format of the information society and its prospects in civilizational progress. The aims of the study are to philosophically and methodologically structure the fundamental and innovative elements of the modern worldview paradigm. While the fundamental clusters of the information worldview are similar to the paradigmatic elements of previous eras, the innovative dimensions have new socio-cultural characteristics. Methodology: The work was based on the analysis of scientific studies of the modern information environment. Information and communication technologies become the main object of research not only from the point of view of scientific and technological but also from the point of view of humanities and science. A separate methodological approach in the study of the information worldview is the philosophical synergetic methodology, designed to use an interdisciplinary approach. Results: The results of the analysis indicate the gradual establishment of the information component as a dominant element of the modern scientific and worldview picture of the world. The paradigm of the information society is distinguished. It is based on fundamental (unchanging) and flexible (changeable) elements. Among the key functions of the information worldview that have a philosophical dimension are: innovative, synergistic, and anthropocentric. The importance of the research results lies in the modelling of socio-cultural development in the context of positioning a person, community, or civilization in the information environment. Information activity determines the status and prospects in the modern technological world. Such guidelines actualise the epistemological, axiological, methodological, and ethical dimensions of the scientific and philosophical study of information technology systems. Information has the potential to be integrated into the scientific picture of the world as a dominant worldview element. Scientific Novelty: A promising area of research into the worldview of the future is the strategy of correlation between the information and technological environment and the socio-cultural space. Information has the potential to become a common denominator for various human-dimensional and technology-oriented components of the socio-cultural space. Conclusion: The modern information worldview paradigm (like any other worldview model from previous eras) has its own philosophical and methodological guidelines that determine its functional potential. Culture, science, and philosophy become the main broadcasters of the information dimension. Information, in its turn, successfully communicates with the public consciousness and individual beliefs about cultural, scientific, and philosophical development. The information worldview performs a number of socio-cultural functions that regulate the interaction between man, society, nature, and technology.

“…Additionally, people with low RP do not initiate vaccination but may cooperate to get vaccinated based on trust in the government, healthcare institutions and society. 45 This implies that continuous attention and adaptation to changes in public RP and trust levels are necessary to ensure sustained vaccination efforts.…”

Vaccination has become the primary means for citizens to prevent severe morbidity and mortality during the pandemic. However, vaccine hesitancy poses a major threat to global public health security. Based on the data from Chinese General Social Survey in 2021, this study aims to explore the socio-political aspects of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, focusing on the relationship between COVID-19 risk perceptions, institutional trust and vaccine hesitancy. Among the samples, 39.8% of the respondents exhibited COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, 48.9% had a high awareness of the risk of COVID-19, and 74.6% presented a high level of trust in institutions. The results showed that higher risk perception and institutional trust are negatively correlated with vaccine hesitancy ( p < .001). Institutional trust had no statistically significant moderating effect on the association between risk perception and vaccine hesitancy, but the role of institutional trust in influencing vaccine hesitancy is more significant at a lower level of perceptions of COVID-19 risk. Furthermore, regional variations in the factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy were demonstrated in China. These findings have important implications for developing strategies to address vaccine hesitancy.

“…Grid management [ 8 ] has greatly changed the dynamics of community governance, favouring information iteration and timely communication. More importantly, it has fostered a positive atmosphere of public trust [ 23 , 24 ], thereby reducing the likelihood of secondary disasters resulting from risk amplification [ 25 , 26 ].…”

Background Against the backdrop of the global public health crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed significant disparities in the supply and demand of risk information related to public health crises, posing severe challenges to risk governance in megacities. Shanghai, China, introduced community WeChat groups for community communication, effectively facilitating the dissemination and response of grassroots information and providing a new path for interactive governance in the community. Methods This study collected 1006 questionnaires from residents of 350 communities in Shanghai through an online survey between June 10 and July 10, 2022. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the impact of different participants (including the community, core residents, and the combined community and core residents) on community risk communication, perceived communication quality, and dissemination themes related to COVID-19 on community communication satisfaction. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 core residents from different types of communities, focusing on the specific methods of risk communication through community WeChat groups and their ability to disseminate information, respond to, and solve problems. Results Perceived information coverage and perceived response efficiency are significantly positively correlated with communication satisfaction. Notably, the speed of community information response has the greatest impact on communication satisfaction. Regarding COVID-19-related information dissemination themes, “community outbreaks, supplies, nucleic acids, outbreak prevention measures, and scientific content” all have a significant impact on communication effectiveness, with “nucleic acid testing information” having the greatest impact. Although the statistical data indicate that the participation of core residents in risk communication does not significantly affect communication satisfaction, it seems to be related to the size of the community, and the interview results further validate this conclusion. Conclusion In the future, grassroots communities should consider the affordances of social media, recognize the significant correlation between risk communication and grassroots trust, and formulate more detailed and targeted risk communication strategies. In particular, incorporating core residents into “semiformal” grassroots organizations can improve community service quality, thereby enhancing community resilience in the face of public health emergencies.
