Decision-making under risk assessment involves dealing with the matter of uncertainty, especially in projects such as tunnel construction. Risk control should include not only measures to reduce the possible consequence of incident, but also exploration measures (information collecting measures) to reduce the uncertainty of the incident. The classical risk assessment model in engineering is R =...

this study aims at evaluating the completeness of the content of the ecological part in environmental impact assessments (eias) and environmental impact statements (eiss) on content review basis. the requirements of the ecological content as stated in the of five sets of thai’s eia guidelines, namely the specific guidelines for power plants, industrial projects, dams and harbors and the gene...

in developing countries, it is common to site (or locate) industries without environmental impact assessment. in this study the impacts of two food processing industries on land use and land capability, noise and vibration, environmentally sensitive areas and visual quality as environmental elements were investigated. the research method adopted was the investigative survey research approach (i...

CORAS is a research and technological development project under the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme (Commission of the European Communities, Directorate-General Information Society). One of the main objectives of CORAS is to develop a practical framework, exploiting methods for risk analysis, semiformal methods for object-oriented modelling, and computerised tools, for a precis...

Over the last 20 years, there has been much research aimed at improving environmental risk assessment of transgenic crops. Despite large amounts of data, decisions to allow or prohibit the release of transgenic crops remain confused and controversial. We argue that part of the reason for confusion is the lack of clear definitions of components of the environment that should be protected, and, a...

The paper concerns the ValueSec methodology and tool which support decisions related to the security measures selection in different application contexts. The ValueSec project, financed by the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), considers security measures which properly affect risk, are cost effective, bring benefits and are free of different restrictions (political, social,...
