As part of a coordinated programme of knowledge improvement tasks, Highways England commissioned Mott MacDonald to research, develop and implement a series of maps to communicate clearly the threat posed by ground-related hazards to the Strategic Road Network (SRN) of England. Events associated with a number of hazards have occurred in the recent past. Understanding the presence, and relative likelihood of occurrence, of these hazards over the 7000 km of the SRN is an essential risk management activity. The maps draw on readily available data sources held on the Geotechnical Data Management System of Highways England (HAGDMS) and have been deliberately created to be open and simple, to convey the hazards to users who may not be specialists in engineering geology. This paper presents the development, validation and application of the hazard maps.Thematic collection: This article is part of the Ground-related risk to transportation infrastructure collection available at: https://www.lyellcollection.org/cc/Ground-related-risk-to-transportation-infrastructure

Temperature is an important factor in the production of agricultural commodities. For this reason, goverments needs to protect farmers in order to continue their farming. Climate-based agricultural insurance is an alternative to climate-related risk management. Insurance premium is given when the temperature index lower than the pre determined trigger index. The purpose of this study is to determine the stages and assumptions in determining the value of agricultural insurance premiums based on surface temperature index on cocoa commodities using the method of burn analysis. The temperature index was determined using the burn analysis method with the temperature as the climate parameter. Trigger values ??are determined based on long run times. In this paper, the result is that when the temperature index lower than the determined trigger value, trigger payments as much as Rp.10.931.960,40 / Ha based on trigger index as many 26.145 ° C, so amount of premium payment equals Rp 215.776.

Energy Use and Related Risk Management Problems in CEE Countries Nowadays, the efficiency of energy use in the Central and East-European (CEE) countries is insufficient, being much lower than in the "Old Europe". The problem becomes increasingly pressing due to non-stop increasing prices of energy carriers (especially of crude oil). The authors trace the development of research activities in this sphere, classifying the revealed changes in parameters of energy consumption processes in particular time intervals into deterministic, probabilistic, and fuzzy. The paper presents a thorough analysis of decision-making in the energy management at its different levels - normative, strategic, and operative. Particular attention is given to the management under uncertainty conditions - i.e. to the risk management. The most wanted research directions in this area proposed by the energy and environment policy (EEP) Center specially created for CEE countries concern management under risk connected with innovations, international activities, loss of reputation, etc. The authors consider in detail the risk management with insufficient knowledge (non-knowledge) and under chaos. Much consideration is given to the scenario management and the game theory principles as related to the sphere of energy use.
