Abstract

Very little is known of the resilience of social networks in situations where individuals within a social network remain in situ, but the physical links which enable interaction between them are radically altered. This paper examines the long-term disruption of social networks following the collapse of the Tasman Bridge in Hobart, Tasmania. This accident divided the city in two for almost three years and radically altered normal patterns of mobility and accessibility.
