Risk Perception 1
Risk Perception 1 :
“Slovic (cited in Slaymaker 1995, 3) defines risk perception as ‘the ‘common sense’ understanding of hazards, exposure and risk, arrived at by a community through intuitive reasoning …usually expressed…as ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe’.’ He goes on the mention that ‘policy decisions are almost always driven by perceived risk among the population affected and among decision makers [and that] these perceptions are commonly at variance with ‘technical’ risk assessments.’” (Pearce 2000, Chapter 3, 18)
