Travellers today face many challenges from risk and safety issues.
Focusing in particular on risk and safety issues faced by visitors
to holy sites, this book looks at the unique challenges raised,
where annual religious festivals are commemorated with mass
gatherings lasting for days and large crowds require detailed
disaster management plans. Beginning with a general section on risk
management, covering areas such as disaster management, terrorism,
crime and security, the book then delves deeper into specific
issues and challenges. It reviews important topics such as
understanding the behaviour of crowds, how to perform a risk
assessment for a sacred space, and travelling in what some would
regard as an increasingly hostile world. Examining critically all
risk and safety challenges in this area of management, the book: -
Includes a full section of global case studies, as well as
discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to
translate theory into good practice. - Offers critical thinking on
risk, vulnerability and long-term development for mass gatherings.
- Covers the importance of disaster management practices and offers
practical advice for ensuring attendees' safety. Mitigating risk at
mass gathering events and festivals is an area that still needs
further research, but this book brings together current thought and
provides a valuable reference for those studying religion, tourism
and events, as well as event organizers, emergency and hospital
services, and local authorities.
I'm pleased to say that after five years in the making, I believe
that you will find this book to be most interesting and insightful.
OUR SURRY HILLS OUR HOME takes you back to a time when everything
was once in black and white. Cities are like dreams where images
and sentiment occur in our minds while we sleep, but living in
Surry Hills and Sydney certainly came as no dream to me as it
created all that a magical dream contains. Many great cities of the
world have their own stories to tell, but I have always believed
that Sydney stands tall above them all. Sydney, and for that matter
Surry Hills, has many unbelievable stories to tell, some of which I
mention in this book.
