Reviews of past studies on interorganizational networks (ION) following a disaster revealed some shortcomings. First, the past studies have provided us with insufficient information about determinant factors of ION patterns. The second is a problem due to a characteristic of a blockmodel analysis, which has been often employed in the recent studies. A study with a blockmodel analysis cannot point out structural defects of ION in a practical fashion, though it seems effective for seeking an actual configuration of ION. A study, a conceptual framework of which had been suggested by the author in 1981, was conducted on interorganizational responses to Japanese natural disasters. In the study, ten determinant factors of an ION, which were pigeonholed in (1)characteristics of a disaster agent, (2)characteristics of a community, (3)task properties, and (4)characteristics of an ION, were taken into account. Some methodological problems were disclosed in terms of the study, such as how to describe an ION, how to strictly tell "coordinating center" from "cognitive center", how to sufficiently measure the degree of concentration, and the like. Meyhew's discussion on the hierarchy's disruption potential was introduced, so that we can partly settle the problems.
