The book Risk Analysis in Forest Management
edited by Klaus von Gadow presents state-of-the art research results, concepts
and techniques regarding the assessment and evaluation of natural hazards and
the analysis of risk and uncertainty about forest management.
It covers ecological perspectives,
applications in engineering and planning as well as methods applicable to
economics and policy.
In the article “Risk Analysis as a Tool for
Policy Evaluation: A Multi-Level Comparison Example” written by K. Hollenstein,
he stress that Risk Analysis, although traditionally used for other purposes
now can be used to address the issue of the decisions of land-use especially to
assess the consequences of different options across time and space in a transparent
and quantitative way.
The risk analysis provide a transparent procedure
which is easy to implement on different levels and for a variety of
geographical settings, it is reproducible and can be used for supporting the
decision-making.
Accordingly, one of the risk analysis approaches for policy
evaluation is the flexibility in handling a variety of input information and in
generating the desired output risk variables, thus the methodology is applied
to a well-defined system.
