Abstract
This paper deals with the uncertainties present in the
results of risk assessment of chemical installations and
it examines their implications to land-use planning
decisions. In particular, the results from the EU funded
research project ASSURANCE are used as a case-study.
Three types of land use planning approaches are
considered, namely, a "consequence-based" approach, a
"risk-based" using only individual risk criterion, and a
"risk-based" approach using both individual risk and
societal risk criteria. The analysis demonstrates that
the land-use planning decisions are significantly
affected by the uncertainties in the assessment of both
the consequences and the frequencies of the potential
accident scenarios.
