Public experience with risk communication differs greatly from
country to country in Europe and there has been little opportunity
for the transfer of experience and learning between countries. This
is especially true for the many new European States, including the
countries in transition from centralised to market economies. This
book presents case studies on risk communication. One of its
unifying concepts is the role of risk communication in the risk
management process. Technical and philosophical introductions to
risk communication and risk management and research in risk
communication are given. The case studies themselves occupy the
central portion of the book, each one covering a particular hazard,
risk or situation seen from a particular point of view. The issue
of the special circumstances for environmental and health risk
communication in central and eastern Europe is also addressed
through a separate presentation and discussion of an appropriate
case study. A different approach to risk communication is taken by
examining how it forms part of the risk management process at the
local level. Research into risk perception, a field that forms an
important foundation for many aspects of risk communication, is
summarised and practical guidelines for risk communication are
reviewed. These include discussions on how to carry out public
information programmes and methods for increasing public
involvement in risk management decisions.
