The aim of this paper is to show how the paradigm of disaster resilience may help reorienting urban planning policies in order to mitigate various types of risks, thanks to carefully thought action on heritage and conservation practices. Resilience is defined as the "capacity of a social system to proactively adapt to and recover from disturbances that are perceived within the system to fall outside the range of normal and expected disturbances." It relies greatly on risk perception and the memory of catastrophes. States, regions, municipalities, have been giving territorial materiality to collective memory for centuries, but this trend has considerably increased in the second half of the 20th century. This is particularly true regarding the memory of disasters: for example, important traces of catastrophes such as urban ruins have been preserved, because they were supposed to maintain some awareness and hence foster urban resilience - Berlin's Gedachtniskirche is a well-known example of this policy. Yet, in spite of preserved traces of catastrophes and various warnings and heritage policies, there are countless examples of risk mismanagement and urban tragedies. Using resilience as a guiding concept might change the results of these failed risk mitigation policies and irrelevant disaster memory processes. Indeed, the concept of resilience deals with the complexity of temporal and spatial scales, and with partly emotional and qualitative processes, so that this approach fits the issues of urban memory management. Resilience might help underlining the complexity and the subtlety of remembrance messages, and lead to alternative paths better adapted to the diversity of risks, places and actors. However, when it is given territorial materiality, memory is almost always symbolically and politically framed and interpreted; Vale and Campanella had already outlined this political aspect of remembrance and resilience as a discourse. Resilience and the territorialization of memory are not ideologically neutral, but urban risk mitigation may come at that price.

Contemporary consumers interested in fashion develop global tastes regarding consumption and senses on how much certain products cost in the global market place. Demand for foreign brands and products produced a new type of e-tailor called surrogate Internet shopping malls. Due to the unfamiliarity of such retailers, consumers may perceive different types of risks and may show different styles of seeking informations. The research interest of this study was to investigate the differences of risk perception and information search between surrogate e-mall shoppers and general e-mall shoppers. In addition, we examined the influence of these two variables on consumer satisfaction. A survey questionnaire was developed. Measures of three types of e-shopping risks (delivery, transaction, service), information search and satisfaction were included. Data from surrogate e-mall consumers and general e-mall consumers were statistically analyzed. Surrogate e-mall shoppers showed a higher level of product delivery risk and customer service risk than general e-mall shoppers. They also spend more time in seeking information before making purchases. Regression analysis showed that perceived risk had significant influence on information search and consumer satisfaction for surrogate e-mall shoppers, whereas for general e-mall shoppers, no significant influence was detected. The findings should assist marketers and academics in their understanding of the surrogate e-shopping malls.

Background: Radiation is used in a variety of areas, but it also poses potential risks. Although radiation is often used with great effectiveness in many applications, people perceive potential risks associated with radiation and feel anxious about the possibility of radiation exposure. Various methods of measuring radiation doses have been developed, but there is no way for the general public to measure their doses with ease. Currently, many people use smartphones, which provide information about the location of an individual phone through network connections. If a smartphone application could be developed for measuring radiation dosage, it would be a very effective way to measure individuals' radiation doses. Thus, we conducted a survey study to assess the social acceptance of such a technology by the general public and their intent to use that technology to measure radiation doses, as well as to investigate whether such an intention is correlated with anxiety and attitudes toward the use of radiation. Materials and Methods: A nationwide online survey was conducted among 355 Koreans who were 20 years old or older. Results and Discussion: Significant differences were found between the genders in attitudes, perceptions of radiation risk, and fears of exposure to radiation. However, a significant difference according to age was observed only in the intent to use a smartphone dose measurement application. Attitudes towards the use of radiation exerted a negative effect on radiation risk perception and exposure anxiety, whereas attitudes towards the use of radiation, risk perception, and anxiety about exposure were found to have a positive impact on the intent to use a smartphone application for dose measurements. Conclusion: A survey-based study was conducted to investigate how the general public perceives radiation and to examine the acceptability of a smartphone application as a personal dose monitoring device. If such an application is developed, it could be used not only to monitor an individual's dose, but also to contribute to radiation safety information infrastructure by mapping radiation in different areas, which could be utilized as a useful basis for radiation research.

This study examined the risk components and risk types perceived in the context of purchasing decisions of paper fashion products. This study also identified the levels of perceived risk by consumers and the differences between age groups in risk perception. First, qualitative data were collected through a focus group interview with 7 Korean females in their 20s to 50s. The interviewees were presented with two types of paper materials (undyed and dyed Jumchi-Hanji) and products (bags and wallets) made with the papers. The interviewees mentioned 11 risk components which were classified into five types of risks: performance (easily torn/lack of durableness, lint/pilling/wear-out, lack of water-resistant, no washability, and deformation and discoloration over time), social-psychological (old and traditional image), aesthetic (lack of design diversity, unsatisfactory appearance due to repair), financial (expensive price, lack of usability in daily life) and time/convenience (difficulty in handling) risks. Based on the results of the interview, a measurement for evaluating the risk perception of paper fashion products was developed. Second, quantitative data were collected from 64 Korean women in their 20s to 50s using the measurement. Respondents who were presented with the paper materials and the products perceived the performance risk more strongly than the social-psychological risk and aesthetic risk. In addition, differences between age groups were found: younger respondents perceived performance risk and social-psychological risk more strongly than older respondents, but older respondents perceived financial risk more than younger respondents. Based on this study, strategies for the risk reduction of paper fashion products were proposed.

Differences in risk perception on major environmental issues between general public and environmental experts were investigated in this study. Questionnaire surveys were conducted to samples from general public and environmental experts during March and April, 2000. Total number of responses was 1,126 including 773 persons from general public and 353 experts. Risk perceptions on 26 environmental issues were related with the need to regulate each issue, controllability, experience, political views, interest in environmental problem, satisfaction of environment, severity of environmental pollution. There was statistically significant difference in risk perceptions between general public and experts. Overall, general public was likely to perceive risks associated with environmental problem, as well as social need to regulate these problems more than experts. The issues with high risk perception and need to regulate were 'automobile exhaust', 'industrial air pollution', ocean pollution by industrial waste and oil exhaust', 'air pollution by chemicals', 'surface water pollution by waste from household', 'industrial and hospital waste', 'surface water pollution by pesticide'and'sewage and food waste'. Consequently, it seems necessary to manage these issues, prior to others.

Purpose: This research aimed to provide baseline data for undergraduate safety education by evaluating paramedic student risk perception and safety practice behavior regarding transport and disaster-related accidents. Methods: A total of 367 paramedic students at three different universities were surveyed using questionnaires. Risk perception questions about hazard, feeling of dread, and uncontrollable factors regarding seven items in transport and disasters were asked on a 7-point scale. Safety practice behavior consisted of 14 transport-related questions and 12 disaster-related questions in 4-point scale. All data were analyzed using SPSS Window 21.0. Results: Of 367 surveyed, 54.8% (201) were females, and 28.9% (106) were freshmen. In risk perception, 'drunk driving' in transport was the highest on average obtaining 6.49 points for hazard and 5.12 points for the feeling of dread. In disasters, 'war' recorded the highest average with 6.61 points for hazard and 5.71 points for the feeling of dread. In safety practice behavior regarding transport and disasters, a higher awareness of the need for safety education correlated with a significantly higher the rate of safety practice behavior (p <.001 respectively). Conclusion: The results indicate that undergraduates have inadequate perception of risk in emergencies. Safety education programs are needed to raise awareness of risks and to increase the safety practice rate.

본고는 식품위험이 현실화되지 않은 상황에서 건강위해에 대한 심리적 불안과 우려로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 소비감소와 후생손실을 2008년 4월 미국산 쇠고기 수입재개 발표에 따른 BSE 위험을 사례로 분석하였다. 조건부가치측정법이나 실험시장접근법을 사용하여 식품안전에 대한 소비자들의 단위당 지불의사나 가격프리미엄을 도출했던 기존의 연구들과는 달리, 소비자들이 기록한 쇠고기 구입량, BSE 위험에 대한 주관적 심각성, 표본내 개인들이 직면한 가격지수 등을 산정하여 개인별 쇠고기 수요함수를 추정하고 소비자들이 주관적으로 체험하는 정확한 후생효과인 동등변화(EV)와 소비자잉여의 변화를 측정함으로써 소비자들이 식품안전성에 부여하는 가치를 측정하였다. 2008년 10월 말부터 11월 중순까지 쇠고기를 소비하는 360명의 주부들을 대상으로 실시한 설문조사 자료를 사용하여 쇠고기 수요함수를 추정한 결과, 수입재개 발표 전 후의 경우 모두 자체 가격, 대체재의 가격, 그리고 소득변수 등의 부호가 경제이론에 부합되었고 통계적으로 유의하였으며 발표 전 후 두 기간 동안에 큰 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 반면에 수업재개 발표 이후 형성된 BSE 위험에 대한 심각성을 나타내는 변수는 발표 이후의 수요함수에서는 통계적으로 유의한 부의 부호를 가진 반면에, 발표 이전의 수요함수에서는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 그리하여 수입재개 발표 후의 BSE 위험에 대한 우려증가로 인한 품질저하 인식에 따른 소비자들의 후생손실을 측정한 결과 가구당 30,000원 정도로 계산되었다. 또한 이 정도의 후생손실을 가져올 BSE 위험에 대한 우려수준은 수입재개 전에 비하여 35% 이상 증가한 것으로 나타났다.

국내 시공사의 해외 건설 비중이 증가하면서, 발생하는 리스크로 인한 비용초과는 시공사의 재정 상황에 막대한 영향을 끼친다. 특히, 현지 관리자의 올바른 시공단계의 리스크 인식은 실질적인 관리에 영향을 끼친다. 그러나 실제 사례에서 발생한 리스크 요인의 비용초과 영향도와 현장 관리자의 인식도에는 차이가 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 리스크 관리를 위한 비용초과 대응전략 구축 이전에 해외 건설 시공단계 리스크 요인을 기반으로 실제 사례와 현지관리자의 인식도 비교를 목표로 한다. 우선, 이론고찰을 통해 선별된 리스크 요인을 기반으로 20개 사례에서 발생한 290개의 비용초과 데이터 기반으로 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 추가 데이터를 획득한 후, 다중회귀분석으로 얻을 수 있는 표준화계수를 통해 요인별 비용초과 영향도를 구하였다. 또한, 42명의 현지관리자를 대상으로 동일 요인에 대한 인식도 파악을 위해 설문조사 진행 후, SWARA를 활용하여 분석하였다. 두 데이터 비교 결과, '하청업체와의 갈등', '현지 커뮤니티와의 갈등' 등의 갈등 관련 리스크들이 높은 비용초과를 보인다. 그러나 현지관리자들은 이를 낮은 순위로 인식하며, '자재 가격의 변동', '시공 품질 오류' 등에 대해 높은 순위로 인식하고 있었다. 따라서 현지관리자들의 갈등 리스크에 대한 교육과 관심이 필요하다.
