This lecture explores the scientific and statistical evaluation of risks, including factors such as exposure, vulnerability, and personal experience influencing risk perception. It delves into cognitive biases affecting risk assessment and the importance of understanding past disasters to prevent future ones. The lecture also discusses the management of risk perceptions, systematic analysis of stakeholders' attitudes, and the role of cognitive biases and social constraints in risk assessment.
