“…As shown in Table 4, the final aim of the vulnerabilities assessment is to establish the compatibility of Seveso plants and to define specific areas around them in order to ensure a safe cohabitation of both industrial and urban activities: the classes of accepted territorial activities range from more vulnerable A (hospitals, schools, high density populated areas, etc.) to less vulnerable F (industrial complexes) as better detailed in Demichela et al (2014).…”

In order to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of land use planning and emergency planning policies and strategies in EU, the Italian regulations and guidelines are used as example to discuss the distance between the European and national regulation and the disaster management and post-disaster procedures, that together with the land use planning are often conceived for a Municipal scale. Both anthropic and natural risks are dealt with in the emergency planning, but risk information derive from very diverse sources, with different levels of detail-from the risk assessment of major risk plants to the representation of risks provided by sectorial plans, each one focused on a single type of risk (i.e. flood, seismic, fire…). Emergency plans should aim at correlating the various risk evaluations, thus being able to provide a comprehensive emergency programme, both for people and territorial safety, but indeed the land use is often regulated by a completely different legislation and designing system. This lack of linkage between the procedures for Emergency and for Land Use Planning makes the emergency management less effective towards the achievement of a real safety of territories, as proved by recent disastrous events in the European territory. In order to solve these critical issues, the paper aims at providing hints on how to achieve a different approach both in land use and emergency planning, conceiving risk assessment as part of an integrated process composed by many important and interrelated phases, not only post-disaster emergency, but also structural interventions for the long-term prevention.

“…21 Named after the 1976 accident at a chemical plant manufacturing pesticides and herbicides in Seveso, Italy, this cornerstone Directive was amended several times. The latest Seveso Directive -the Seveso III Directive 22 -which entered into force on 13 August 2012, will, as of 1 June 2015, replace the current Seveso II Directive 23 (Walker et al, 1999;Demichela et al, 2014). The Seveso III Directive contributes to implementing the Aarhus Convention by considerably strengthening provisions relating to the information of the public, public participation in decision-making regarding land-use planning projects related to Seveso plants, and access to justice regarding Seveso-related information and Seveso-related decisions subject to public participation (see Articles 14,15,17(e) of the formerly fragmented EU water legislation.…”

“…These methods are not necessarily contradictory, and in most cases a combination of them are employed (hybrid methods). Comprehensive reviews and comparisons of conventional LUP methods adapted within European countries have been discussed by Papazoglou et al [24], Christou et al [6,8], Cozzani et al [9], Basta et al [3], Demichela et al [12], Pasman and Reniers [26].…”

Land use planning (LUP) as an effective and crucial safety measure has widely been employed by safety experts and decision makers to mitigate off-site risks posed by major accidents. Accordingly, the concept of LUP in chemical plants has traditionally been considered from two perspectives: (i) land developments around existing chemical plants considering potential off-site risks posed by major accidents and (ii) development of existing chemical plants considering nearby land developments and the level of additional off-site risks the land developments would be exposed to. However, the attempts made to design chemical plants with regard to LUP requirements have been few, most of which have neglected the role of domino effects in risk analysis of major accidents. To overcome the limitations of previous work, first, we developed a Bayesian network methodology to calculate both on-site and off-site risks of major accidents while taking domino effects into account. Second, we combined the results of risk analysis with Analytic Hierarchical Process to design an optimal layout for which the levels of on-site and off-site risks would be minimum.
