Objective
The aims of the project are to identify the environmental risks involved in transport systems and describe how in three countries environmental risks are treated in the evaluation of transport policies and projects, identifying and comparing the importance of social debate in this evaluation. The intention is to draw up recommendations which allow a better communication between the experts and the public, on the risks of transport.
The project consists of the following:
i) the gathering of data and studies concerning the transport network in Europe and the specific position of each considered country in this network. The economic and technical aspects are examined so that the behaviours of the economic and political actors are both described and understood. This stage is also intended to build a common (empirical and theoretical) background concerning transportation systems and a common framework in risk evaluation by scientific experts;
ii) selected national case-studies. They are intended to analyse the social process by which evaluation of risks is used by social actors to elaborate alternative projects in transport systems in each country. A special attention is given to the role of international and European constraints and institutional settings in these projects. The economic constraints and the social and political debate emerging is analysed. The involvement of experts and the balance between local, regional, national and international actors and the nature of the procedural and institutional arrangements used are given special consideration;
iii) a comparison of the national case-studies is made and provides the basis for common conclusions about the ways to improve risk communication.
