The Human Dimension of Risk: Perception, Behaviour & Decision Making in Risk Management
The human dimension of risk is an important and under-explored aspect of risk management issues.
In the second annual meeting of the Centre for Risk Studies, last year’s themes of societal resilience and the failure of complex systems will be further developed through a deeper examination of human society as a complex system.
Human dimensions of risk transcend many boundaries, emanating from risk perception, understanding patterns of behaviour and into the processes of decision-making and policy development.
