This article is devoted to the systematization and critical analysis of the experience of various countries of the world in organizing the population evacuation from areas of various techno-logical disasters: accidents at radiation-hazardous objects and chemical facilities, as well as dam failures. The article provides an assessment of the role of public notification about the danger, speed and awareness of decision-making by the responsible authorities, prepared-ness of the infrastructure for transportation and resettlement of a large number of people in successful evacuation and minimization of human losses and the number of injured. A distin-guishing feature of technological disasters is the suddenness of the deployment due to the predominant impact of the human factor. In this connection, recommendations are given re-garding the need for preventive preparation of the population and infrastructure for potential disasters in threatened areas.

Migration Flows

This article presents an overview of policies adopted to curb or respond to irregular migration flows. The article is presented in two sections. The first section, which is an overview of policies adopted in all regions of the world and in both developed and developing countries, attempts to show that there are a number of similarities in the decision-making process and in the content of policies that cut across regional lines and levels of development. The second section discusses policies adopted by governnments in Africa asnd Asia — regions that have been relatively neglected in policy analyses of irregular migration.

Depth Interviews

Despite the current importance of international retirement migration for both academics and practitioners, the extant literature on the topic is still scarce and mostly focused on short-period migration flows from wealthy and northern countries to cheaper and warm-weather destinations. This article aims at shedding light on the role of tourism in prospective migrants’ decision-making process, considering the framework provided by the push-pull model, which is often used to explain both migration and tourism. A qualitative study was conducted, comprising ten in-depth interviews with 45+ year-old Brazilian citizens who intend to move to Europe after retirement. Results show that tourism is important for prospective migrants to evaluate possible migration destinations, as some of the most relevant migration pull factors (e.g., safety) are easily assessed during tourism experiences. Participants in this study also carefully plan tourism activities prior to their decision to migrate in order to get a more realistic notion of what the destination is like for residents. Overall, this study demonstrates that tourism is particularly important for several stages of migrants’ decision-making process.

Effective Development

To date, one of the most important tasks of the State in ensuring the sustainable socio-economic and demographic development of the country is the regulation of migration processes. In the Republic of Bashkortostan in recent years there has been an increase in the number of people participating in both intraregional and extra-regional migration, which indicates the need to manage migration flows for the effective development of territories of this entity. In this connection, this article is dedicated to the development of GIS monitoring of the attractiveness of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan, aimed at improving the effectiveness of decision-making in formulating migration policies in the region, based on a systematic combination of parametric and structural approaches. In the course of the study the analysis of existing approaches applied in this subject area, the methodology for determining the attractiveness coefficient of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan was developed, A functional and information model for monitoring the attractiveness of municipalities has been developed, and a logical structural model of GIS monitoring the attractiveness of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan has been built.

Observer Model

AbstractRahnev & Denison (R&D) argue against normative theories and in favor of a more descriptive “standard observer model” of perceptual decision making. We agree with the authors in many respects, but we argue that optimality (specifically, reward-rate maximization) has proved demonstrably useful as a hypothesis, contrary to the authors’ claims.

Bayesian Decision Making

AbstractThe target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
