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.
