Abstract

Studying community structure has proven efficient in understanding social forms of interactions among people, quantitatively investigating some of the well-known social theories and providing useful recommendations to users in communities based on common interests. Another important feature for community structure is that it allows for classification of vertices according to their structural positions in clusters such that some vertices may have an important function of control and stability within the community while others may play an important role of leading relationships and exchanges between different communities. Studying the community structure of Flight MH370 will help us finding patterns that emerge from that structure which can lead to demystify some of the many ambiguous aspects of that flight. The aim of this study is to analyze the mesoscopic and macroscopic features of that community using social network analysis. Pajek, which is a program for social network analysis, is used to generate a series of social networks that represent the different network communities.
