“…What counts as risk may vary among these actor groups. Whether an overlapping consensus evolves about what requires consideration as a relevant risk depends on the legitimacy of the selection rule (Renn & Klinke, 2014).…”

“…Researchers conduct tests in the form of short case studies, applying the framework to different risks, including those related to genetically modified organisms, stem cells, nature-based tourism, and the European gas infrastructure (all case studies are described in detail in Renn & Walker, 2008a). The results from these tests have given input to several revisions to the framework (Renn & Klinke, 2014).…”

Risk governance is used to refer to a body of scholarly ideas and concepts for collective decision making involving uncertain consequences of events or actions. The risk governance concept developed by the International Risk Governance Council in Geneva provides guidance for constructing comprehensive assessment and management strategies to cope with risk. Its crafters integrate three types of scientific input: classic, curiosity-driven research; strategic, goal-oriented research: and catalytic, process-related investigations. In this paper, I demonstrate how these three knowledge pools can assist risk assessors and managers to improve their understanding of complex risk situations.

“…For this reason, it is essential to take into account the risk experiences, perceptions, assessments, and considerations of the relevant actors in the integrated ecological risk mitigation and management plan through the participatory planning approach (Galantini, 2018). The participatory approach has been studied in the risk mitigation literature within the risk governance framework (Renn & Klinke, 2014). The risk governance framework, which is defined as the management of the wide effects of the risks in an integrated way, combines risk communication, risk assessment, and risk management steps, which were examined individually in the previous studies (Sellke & Renn, 2010).…”

This study aims to develop an integrated spatial planning methodology with a participatory planning approach for building resilient settlements against complex ecological risk factors. Düzce Province is selected as a case study because of its complex ecological characteristics as witnessed many times in past. The methodology consists of four phases. (1) The first phase of the methodology joins the ecological planning aims. In the (2) second phase, ecosystem services (ES) integrated land suitability maps was produced by combining natural hazard risks and landscape vulnerabilities with the risk of degradation of valuable ES. The (3) third phase, is participatory risk governance approach, which consists of three components namely, (a) risk communication, (b) risk assessment, (c) risk management that conducted between the local and regional stakeholders within the multi-scale approach. In the (4) fourth phase, comprehensive outputs for spatial risk mitigation was provided by the integration of ecological risk synthesis and participatory planning findings. Results show that participants prioritized earthquake, landslide, and flood as the highest natural hazard risks and erosion, habitat vulnerability, and water infiltration as the highest ecological vulnerability risks respectively. Results of risk governance analysis show that, at macroscale, central government institutions have the highest responsibility predominantly for proactive roles. At mesoscale local institutions of central governance have mainly reactive responsibilities. Thus, this integrated ecological risk assessment methodology can contribute to the decision-making process of ecological risk mitigation plans in a more comprehensive way through a multi-spatial and temporal scale approach. Moreover, this method can be applied in other provinces. However, in order to disseminate the results of participatory risk governance at provincial level, participation level and diversity should be increased in future studies.

“…Оценка рисков должна осуществляться с учетом природно-климатических особенностей отдельных территорий [9]. В дальнейшем климатические риски должны быть интегрированы в единую систему управления рисками [14] в целях повышения надежности функционирования транспортных систем северных регионов России.…”

Theme. Infrastructure of transport systems of the permafrost zone of Russia, operated in conditions of global warming. Objectives. To quantify the risks of disrupting the functionality of transport infrastructure facilities, taking into account the soil and natural and climatic features in the territory of their operation. Methodology. Modeling the temperature dynamics of the soil massif, including the upper seasonal thawed layer and the lower layer of permafrost soil, identifying changes in its strength and deformation properties under the accepted scenario of climatic changes, assessing the impact of changes in the soil massif on the operational state and safety of various types of infrastructure facilities of transport systems (taking into account the appearance of additional precipitation of thawing soil and a decrease in its bearing capacity), determination of the values of predicted risks on a scale that is uniform for all types of objects. Results. New data have been obtained on the negative consequences of climate change for the infrastructure of transport systems in the permafrost zone of Russia. Under fairly conservative assumptions about a warming of 2 degrees Celsius, the risk of functional impairment for the road profile is predicted to be from 86 to 294 points on a 1000-point scale, and climatic risks increase with an increase in the temperature of permafrost. The magnitude of the expected risks in relation to the aerodrome pavement is approximately at the same level; these two types of objects are distinguished by the greatest resistance to climatic changes. Pile foundations are subject to risk ranging from 143 to 529 points. The most vulnerable to warming are strip and columnar foundations, for which the lowest risk value obtained during modeling is 389 points, and under unfavorable conditions (high-temperature permafrost in combination with low soil moisture), the risk increases to the maximum possible value of 1000 points. Implications. The risks of disrupting the functionality of infrastructural objects of the permafrost transport systems, predicted at warming up to 2 degrees Celsius, should be considered significant. With risks up to 400 points (road profile, airfield coverage), it is advisable to limit ourselves to monitoring the current state of the facility and, if necessary, restore its functionality. With risks from 400 to 600 points, it is recommended, and in case of risks over 600 points, it is mandatory to carry out preventive engineering and technical measures aimed at stabilizing the temperature regime of soils and preventing a sudden loss of functionality of individual elements of the transport system.
