  • Illustrating the coupled human–environment system for vulnerability analysis

    Open AccessB L Turner, Pamela A Matson et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2003

    The vulnerability framework of the Research and Assessment Systems for Sustainability Program explicitly recognizes the coupled human–environment system and accounts for interactions in the coupling affecting the system's responses to hazards and its vulnerability. This paper illustrates the usefulness of the vulnerability framework through three case studies: the tropical southern Yucatán, the arid Yaqui Valley of northwest Mexico, and the pan-A…

  • A framework for vulnerability analysis in sustainability science

    Open AccessB L Turner, Roger E Kasperson et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2003

    Global environmental change and sustainability science increasingly recognize the need to address the consequences of changes taking place in the structure and function of the biosphere. These changes raise questions such as: Who and what are vulnerable to the multiple environmental changes underway, and where? Research demonstrates that vulnerability is registered not by exposure to hazards (perturbations and stresses) alone but also resides in …

  • The social amplification of risk

    Open AccessJeanne X Kasperson, Roger E Kasperson et al.CHAPTERSocial Amplification of Risk2003

    More than a decade has elapsed since the introduction in 1988 of the social amplification of risk framework (SARF) by researchers from Clark University (Kasperson, Kasperson, Renn, and colleagues) and Decision Research (Slovic and colleagues). During that time various researchers have enlisted the framework to complete a substantial number of empirical studies. All the while, the emergence of a much larger body of relevant knowledge has spawned a…

  • The Social Amplification of Risk

    Open AccessJeanne X Kasperson, Eugene A Rosa et al.BOOKSocial Amplification of Risk2003

    The management of and communication about risks has become a major question of public policy and intellectual debate in the modern world. The social amplification of risk framework describes how both social and individual factors act to amplify or dampen perceptions of risk and through this create secondary effects such as stigmatisation of technologies, economic losses or regulatory impacts. This volume, edited by three of the world's leading an…

  • The Social Amplification and Attenuation of Risk

    Open AccessRoger E Kasperson, Jeanne X KaspersonARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1996Cited by: 84References: 2

    Risk is a complex phenomenon that involves both biophysical attributes and social dimensions. Existing assessment and management approaches often fail to consider risk in its full complexity and its social context. The concept of the social amplification and attenuation of risk provides an approach that recognizes that how social institutions and structures process a risk will shape greatly its effects upon society and the responses of management…

  • Regions at Risk

    B L Turner, Jeanne X Kasperson et al.EDITORBOOKRegions at Risk1995Cited by: 1

    Human-induced environmental change is to be found throughout the world, but there are areas that scientists consider to be "critical regions" - regions that are particularly vulnerable to or suffering from environmental degradation. In this volume nine such "critical environmental regions" (Amazonia, the Aral Sea basin, the middle mountains of Nepal, Kenya's Ukambani region, the US Southern High Plains, the Mexico Basin, the North Sea, the Ordos …

  • The Social Amplification of Risk

    Open AccessOrtwin Renn, William Burns et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues1992Cited by: 24References: 24

    The social experience of risk is not confined to the technical definition of risk, i.e., the product of probability and magnitude. What human beings perceive as threats to their well‐being is influenced by their values, attitudes, social influences, and cultural identity. This article introduces the framework of social amplification of risk, which integrates the technical assessment and the social experience of risk. This viewpoint proposes that …

  • The Social Amplification of Risk

    Open AccessRoger E Kasperson, Ortwin Renn et al.ARTICLERisk Analysis1988

    One of the most perplexing problems in risk analysis is why some relatively minor risks or risk events, as assessed by technical experts, often elicit strong public concerns and result in substantial impacts upon society and economy. This article sets forth a conceptual framework that seeks to link systematically the technical assessment of risk with psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives of risk perception and risk‐related behavi…
