......As communication technology develops, social media can fill coordination gaps in unpredictable situations, especially in bridging the exchange of information as transport expands its geographical reach. This paper looks at the role of social media in supporting intimate neighborhoods, filling coordination gaps, and forming social cohesion, and how these communication technologies have gained a structural position in society by reviewing the studies "Twitter as a Navigator for Stranded Commuters during the Great East Japan Earthquake", "Tweet Me Home: Exploring Information Use on Twitter in Crisis Situations", and "Microblogging for Crisis Communication: An Examination of Twitter Use in Response to a 2009 Violent Crisis in the Seattle-Tacoma, Washington Area". Individuals now rely on mobile phones as the primary means to communicate and coordinate with each other.
