Risk communication
Risk communication
Effective risk communication and sensitization and adequate risk management can help to correct negative effects from public risk (mis-)perception and hazard over- and underestimation, which is also essential for the legitimacy of urban planning. Risk management by authorities has to be coherent with societal risk perception and views.[1] This makes the issue a cultural factor. Effects of changing risk characteristics to societal reactions must be comprehended, and approaches and perspectives should be understood to be influenced by changes in social and political systems. Risk management must react to such phenomena. Urban planning thus can be seen to form a part of the risk and crises management cycle.
