Abstract: There is a growing body of literature in sustainability that analyzes stakeholder perceptions of climate change and associated impacts. However, significant research has not been documented from the spectrum of Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Survey Analysis using a chi-square test for homogeneity, that examine local and regional (State-level) stakeholders’ climate-impact perceptions. In this paper, authors explore the types of climate-related information sources that local, regional, and non-profit stakeholders use. The authors also develop and examine the map of the flow of climate-related impact perceptions. Additionally, the researchers determine whether there are observable patterns in the stakeholders' approaches for securing climate-related information. The Social Network Analysis results present the relationship and the map of climate-impact perceptions among critical stakeholders in Florida that are involved in climate issues. Comparing and examining the SNA results with that chi-square constitute the final finding of the network pattern.Abstract: There is a growing body of literature in sustainability that analyzes stakeholder perceptions of climate change and associated impacts.
