Risk maps on the Internet: Transparency and the management of risks
Information Polity, 2005In this essay the consequences of the transparency of physical risks through the Internet are explored by posing three questions: do citizens in the Netherlands use risk maps to find out what risks there are in their neighbourhoods, does this enhance their involvement in the management of risks, and, do risk maps on the Internet and citizen involvement

The mapping of risk in coastal areas is an important task for coastal zone management. Recent global climate change brings overwhelming risk to coastal areas by different processes. Several studies have warned that the of coastal societies at large might be at risk of inundation and damage caused by coastal flooding, storm surge, sea level rise and ...

Environmental security involves the geo-referenced assessment of health risks. A straightforward estimation of relative risks can be based on aggregated health data, which are often routinely collected in administrative districts and, therefore, cheap and easily available. Disease maps based on raw data can be misleading, however. The value of the maps

The use of maps to convey information on the environmental burden and accident risks is increasing. This development is associated with the redefinition of environmental problems in terms of spatial planning. The increased use of maps solves a number of communication problems but also introduces others.

In this chapter, the basic procedures, methods, and techniques of the disaster risk map compilation are expounded. The spatiotemporal difference pattern of the disaster risk can be objectively manifested by the technique of map or atlas. The map visualization of the regional disaster system information includes the normalization and standardization of ...

In competitive markets such as the liberalized electricity markets, market risk is an extremely important variable both in day-by-day business activity and in the strategic decision-making process. For this reason its correct definition and assessment is a fundamental issue for companies which operate in those markets.
