“…Charmaz [ 54 ] defined grounded theory as a systematic, inductive, and comparative approach to conducting an enquiry to construct theory. Zhang et al [ 55 ] used grounded theory to construct a theoretical model of crowdsourcing in tourism and explored its mechanisms through semi-structured interviews. Although it is important to construct theoretical models, grounded theory is not very applicable to online texts because of the limitation of massive data.…”

Novel coronavirus pneumonia has had a significant impact on people's lives and psychological health. We developed a stage model to analyse the spatial and temporal distribution of public panic during the two waves of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We used tweets with geographic location data from the popular hashtag ‘Lockdown Diary’ recorded from 23 January to April 8, 2020, and ‘Nanjing Outbreak’ recorded from 21 July to 1 September 2021 on Weibo. Combining the lexicon-based sentiment analysis and the grounded theory approach, this panic model could explain people's panic and behavioural responses in different areas at different stages of the pandemic. Next, we used the latent Dirichlet allocation topic model to reconfirm the panic model. The results showed that public sentiments fluctuated strongly in the early stages; in this case, panic and prayers were the dominant sentiments. In terms of spatial distribution, public panic showed hierarchical and neighbourhood diffusion, with highly assertive expressions of sentiment at the outbreak sites, economically developed areas, and areas surrounding the outbreak. Most importantly, we considered that public panic was affected by the 17 specific topics extracted based on the perceived and actual distance of the pandemic, thus stimulating the process of panic from minimal, acute, and mild panic to perceived rationality. Consequently, the public's behavioural responses shifted from delayed, negative, and positive, to rational behavioural responses. This study presents a novel approach to explore public panic from both a time and space perspective and provides some suggestions in response to future pandemics.

“…Grounded theory is a bottom-up method of establishing a substantive theory, that is, searching for core concepts that reflect social phenomena on the basis of systematically collecting data and then constructing relevant social theories through the connections between these concepts. Grounded theory must be supported by empirical evidence, but its main strength is not in its empirical nature but in that it abstracts new concepts and ideas from empirical facts (Zhang et al, 2021).…”

“…The study interviewed 24 (48%) managers as samples. Following ethical procedures (Strandberg, 2019), referring to the research of scholars such as Hicks et al, 2018, Zhang et al, 2021, all interviewees and their organizations in this paper are anonymous. The basic information of the interviewees is shown in Table 2.…”

“…This method can involve a single case or multiple cases, and it can combine qualitative and quantitative approaches to data collection. As so little is known about the design strategies that are utilized during hackathons and other innovation competitions, this approach has been put into practice [32][33][34].…”

Despite the fact that hackathons and digital innovation contests have emerged as substantial intermediaries in open innovation and entrepreneurship, knowledge about how hackathons and digital innovation contests impact innovation in cities is restricted. There is also a scarcity of models that aid in the organization of digital innovation contests. Based on the existing frameworks for contest organizations, the aim of this article is to present a case study which develops a framework for hosting and evaluating open data hackathons. The hackathon framework is developed from the organizer’s viewpoint, and it has been executed in three digital innovation competitions in Thessaloniki. The suggested scheme adds new knowledge to the field of open data and digital innovation competitions while also providing practitioners with opportunities to host digital contests. Moreover, this framework offers hackathon organizers with regulations and resources to help them plan innovation contests that contribute to the betterment of an open data ecosystem.
