Title: Determinants and mapping of collective perceptions of technological risk : the case of the second nuclear power plant in Taiwan / Hung-Chih Hung and Tzu-Wen WangAuthor: Hung, Hung-Chih
Notes: Sumario: Nuclear power is a highly controversial and salient example of environmental risk. The siting or operating of a nuclear power plant often faces widespread public opposition. Although studies of public perceptions of nuclear power date back to 1970s, little research attempts to explain the spatial heterogeneity of risk attitude toward nuclear power among individuals or communities. This article intends to improve the knowledge about the major factors contributing to nuclear power plant risk perceptions by mapping the geographical patterns of local risk perception and examining the determinants in forming the nature and distribution of the perceived risk among potentially affected populationRelated records: En: Risk analysis : an international journal. - McLean, Virginia : Society for Risk Analysis, 1987-2015 = ISSN 0272-4332. - 01/04/2011 Tomo 31 Número 4 - 2011 , p. 668-683Materia / lugar / evento: Riesgo nuclear Riesgo tecnológico Centrales nucleares Percepción del riesgo Gerencia de riesgos Otros autores: Wang, Tzu-Wen
