Description

The study applies a network-centric method to investigate wildfire responder networks in Canada and Sweden. It investigates actor collaboration when addressing interdependent tasks, and assesses how certain network structures of actors-and-tasks relationships influence task effectiveness.

The published article describes the data in-depth. The data consists of collaborative relationships between the actors that participated in the wildfire responses, and the actors' assessments of their own effectiveness in addressing their tasks. The data has been analysed in order to evaluate if and how the collaborative relationships have effected the actors' effectiveness in addressing their tasks. The method is thoroughly described in the article. An R script made available together with the data files also described the analyses.
