Industrial companies have always paid close attention to the continuity of production and technological processes. Technical and production risks, such as equipment damage, accidents, natural disasters can have a significant impact on production processes, lead to injury to people, environmental pollution. Managing these risks means investing substantial funds in upgrading, repairing and reconstructing assets. However, these investments have different economic effects. Proper prioritization of risks and measures for their management, based on the concept of risk-income, proposed in this article, can significantly improve the efficiency of risk management, reduce the degree of uncertainty, protect the organization from catastrophic damage.

The aim of this work is to detect communities of stakeholders at the port of Hamburg regarding their communication intensity in activities related to risk management. An exploratory mixed-method design is chosen as a methodology based on a compact survey and semi-structured interviews, as well as secondary data. A compact survey at the port of Hamburg is utilized to address the communication intensity values among stakeholders. Based on 28 full responses, the data is extracted, cleansed, and prepared for the network analysis using the software “Gephi”. Thereafter, the Louvain community detection algorithm is used to extract the communities from the network. A plausibility check is carried out using 15 semi-structured interviews and secondary data to verify and refine the results of the community analysis. The results have revealed different communities for the following risk categories: (a) natural disasters and (b) operational and safety risks. The focus of cooperation is on the reactive process and emergency plans. For instance, emergency plans play an important role in the handling of natural disasters such as floods or extreme winds.

Article proposes using weighting method named the Point Bonitation Method, a popular interdisciplinary method, especially in the tourism and socio-economic geography, for giving optional direction to further researching tsunami risk. This method qualifies and quantifies those factors that lead to natural disasters so that it is possible to make comparisons with their roles in disaster areas. This case study in Sri Lanka shows a specific result that is quantification of vulnerability by regions and can be used and developed locally for disaster risk management and reduction. This paper presents discussion about other possible reasons of high risk in regions.

Improvement of modern management systems for industrial enterprises involves the active use of risk management methods that are accompanied by their activities. Issues of production risks and their place in the General enterprise management system are discussed in the article. There is a classification of the main production risks and possible risk management methods applicable in the activities of an industrial enterprise.

Abstract Indonesia is in one of the disaster-prone points, the ring of fire, which frequently suffer from natural disasters. Mt. Merapi volcanic eruption in 2010 was one of the catastrophic natural disasters, which caused the approximate economic damages of 3,628 trillion Indonesian rupiah. To recover the loss of different sectors of the economy, the central and regional governments allocates special budget for recovery and reconstruction. We assess the induced economic effects of Mt. Merapi eruption recovery fiscal support by using a multiregional input-output (MRIO) model. We utilize the state level data of the 2005 Indonesian interregional input-output table (IRIO) and the 2011–2013 volcano eruption restoration. Our results indicate that the effect of 2010 recovery budget for Mt. Merapi eruption contributed to the economy of the hazard-affected Yogyakarta Special Region. In addition, the forestry sector, other services sector, and construction sectors have a significantly benefited from the induced output by fiscal support.

AbstractNatural disasters are usually regarded as damage factors causing high private and social costs. Notwithstanding the incontestable validity of this premise, natural disasters do not necessarily lead to a structural deprivation of the area affected. Recent studies have clearly shown that in the long run one may even observe positive socio-economic effects (‘blessings in disguise’).This paper investigates this challenging proposition by developing a risk-disaster-opportunity framework for a territorial system, and by analysing the socio-economic impacts of natural shocks from a resilience perspective. This is inter alia done by designing a typology of natural disasters, and by presenting a systematic classification of long-range impacts.An empirical test of the above proposition of positive recovery effects of natural disasters is carried out by using, in particular, long-term data from the worldwide EM-DAT database. The attention is then focussed on positive feedback loops in spatial systems that are affected by a natural perturbation. Various case studies (USA, China, Haiti, Chile, Japan) are undertaken in order to test the existence of long-term ‘blessings in disguise’ effects, using in particular the HDI-index. In various cases, such positive effects appear to exist, depending on the effectiveness of public management of natural disaster phenomena.
