Role of the protection forest in integrated risk management Half the Swiss forests play a role in protecting against natural hazards. After a historical overview of the strategy of protection against natural hazards and of the development of the protection function of the forest, the authors, basing the analysis on the modern definition of integrated risk management, demonstrate, on the basis of evidence, that protection forests may be considered as a protective measure for integrated risk management. Some complementary analysis is necessary, including the assessment and quantification of the protection function, strengthening the role of forest planning, quantifying the cost-benefit ratio, and clearly defining the legal responsibility of the forest owner.

Abstract Building a culture of risk is an essential objective within the integrated risk management paradigm. Challenges arise both due to increasing damage from natural hazards and the complexity in interaction of different actors in risk management. In Switzerland, the Strategy for Natural Hazards Switzerland, aims to establish efficient protection of the population, natural resources and material goods. This requires that all responsible actors are recognized and aware of their role in risk management. However, previous studies indicate that risk awareness and preparedness levels are rather low within the general population. For the first time, our nationwide survey provides empirical data on factors that influence individual risk preparedness in the general population. Multivariate analysis shows that taking responsibility for natural hazard risk prevention is not only related to personal experience and perceived probability of hazard events, but also crucially influenced by social forms of communication and integration. Therefore, we conclude that social capacity building needs to include such factors in order to render integrated risk management strategies successful.

Abstract. Building a culture of risk is an essential objective within the integrated risk management paradigm. Challenges arise both due to increasing damage from natural hazards and the complexity in interaction of different actors in risk management. In Switzerland, the Strategy for Natural Hazards Switzerland, aims to establish efficient protection of the population, natural resources and material goods. This requires that all actors are recognized and aware of their responsible role in risk management. However, previous, non-representative studies indicate that risk awareness and preparedness levels are rather low within the general population. For the first time, our nation-wide survey provides empirical data on factors that influ-ence individual risk preparedness. Multivariate analysis shows that taking responsibility for natural hazard risk prevention is not only related to personal experience and perceived probability of hazard events, but also crucially influenced by social forms of communication and integration. Therefore, we conclude that social capacity building needs to include such factors in order to render integrated risk management strategies successful.

Numerous natural hazards are known to have occurred in Canton Zug. Under the guidance of the Cantonal Forestry Office,starting in 2002 and taking all relevant natural hazard processes into account, Canton Zug has drawn up a comprehensive natural hazard map, an event register and a register of protective constructions covering a wide area. Various maps have been established, or are in the process of being drawn up, for human settlements that are at risk. Based on the existing data and in collaboration with the communities, Canton Zug aims to establish integrated risk management programmes for the most important enterprises. Once the natural hazard fundaments are more or less complete at the end of 2005, further work remains to be done informing the population of the existing risks and including them in decisions about the necessary level of safety and concomitant security measures, as well as the implementation of risk factors in exploitation planning.
