Última Communicating adaptation with emotions: the role of intense experiences in raising concern about extreme weather. Ecology and Society Vasileiadou, Eleftheria; Institute for Environmental Studies, VU University Amsterdam; School for Innovation Studies, Eindhoven University of Technology; e.vasileiadou@vu.nl; Botzen, Wouter J. W.; Institute for Environmental Studies, VU University Amsterdam; wouter.botzen@vu.nl. Adaptation to extreme weather is often considered as having a low urgency and being a low priority governance option, even though the intensity of extreme weather events is expected to increase as a result of climate change. An important issue is how to raise an adequate level of concern among individuals, policy makers, and broader decision makers in companies and organizations so that adaptation to extreme events becomes mainstream practice. We conducted 40 indepth interviews with individuals from different sectors in The Netherlands to identify the different types of experiences with extreme events, as well as the relationship between such experiences and the level of concern about extreme weather. Our results indicate that individuals who have... Tipo: Peer-Reviewed Reports Palavras-chave: Adaptation; Availability heuristic; Extreme weather; Risk communication; Risk perception. Ano: 2014 Landowners' perceptions of risk in grassland management: woody plant encroachment and prescribed fire Ecology and Society Harr, Ryan N.; Iowa Department of Natural Resources; Iowa State University; ryan.harr@dnr.iowa.gov; Wright Morton, Lois; Iowa State University; lwmorton@iastate.edu; Rusk, Shannon R.; Iowa State University; rusk@iastate.edu; Engle, David M.; Oklahoma State University; david.engle@okstate.edu; Miller, James R.; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; jrmillr@illinios.edu; Debinski, Diane; Iowa State University; debinski@iastate.edu. Ecologists recognize that fire and herbivory are essential to maintaining habitat quality in grassland ecosystems. Prescribed fire and grazing are typically used on public reserves to increase biodiversity, improve grassland productivity, and control encroachment of woody plants. However, these tools, particularly prescribed fire, have not been widely adopted by private landowners. Fire suppression and prescribed fire are strategies that present competing risks to owners who make management decisions. We explore landowner perceptions of risk associated with (1) eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) encroachment, and (2) the use of prescribed fire to control woody species in the Grand River Grasslands of Iowa and Missouri, USA. We found that although...

Ano: 2014 Stakeholders' perceptions, attitudes and practices towards risk prevention in the food chain ArchiMer Lupo, Coralie; Wilmart, O.; Van Huffel, X.; Dal Pozzo, F.; Saegerman, C.. An online survey was conducted to describe stakeholders' perceptions, attitudes and practices towards risk prevention in the food chain and to explore if common features could be extracted from different fields of competency or groups of stakeholders. Out of 80 participants, 60% believed that pathogenic microorganisms were the main hazard to prevent. Twenty-four percent perceived climate change as the main risk factor. Seventy-three percent believed that hazards in the food chain are preventable and they often showed a positive attitude towards risk prevention measures. The opinion of 75% of stakeholders was that prevention measures should be compulsory and under the shared responsibility of both food business operators and competent authority....

Ano: 2016 URL: http://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00313/42396/41742.pdf Implications of the cementation of beach sediments for the recreational use of the beach ArchiMer Vousdoukas, Michalis; Velegrakis, Adonis F.; Kontogianni, Areti; Makrykosta, Efstratia-natalia. Beach sediment cementation (beachrock formation) is a sedimentary process that can transform significant sections of beaches into rock outcrops. This contribution reports the results of two questionnaire surveys (one focusing on foreign tourists and the other on local people) carried out in coastal resorts of the island of Lesbos (Greece), on the perceptions of beach users regarding the impacts of beachrocks on their recreational activities. The survey focusing on foreign tourists showed that the majority of the interviewees took notice of the formations and commented negatively on them. Although most of the interviewees did not consider beachrocks a significant safety risk, a considerable proportion of the sample stated that beachrocks influenced their...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/2009/publication-6625.pdf Bridging the gap between BSE risk assessment and consumer perception of the surveillance system in Japan OAK KADOHIRA, Mutsuyo; HILL, Glen; SAWADA, Manabu; YOSHIDA, Seiko; 門平, 睦代; ヒル, グレン; 澤田, 学; 吉田, 省子. Since the first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was encountered in Japan in 2001, the country quickly responded with a change from passive to active surveillance. The response has not been a smooth one, though, and news media have contributed to opening the public’s eyes to inadequate behavior from government sources responsible for monitoring and protecting the health of consumers. The resultant information“gap” has served to augment the typical Japanese perceptions of risk assessment, as assessed in surveys from 2003 to 2005. Such false beliefs have caused consumers to call for 100% testing of animals for BSE despite accepted scientific standards which do not support such comprehensive and costly surveillance. Instead, testing agencies... Palavras-chave: BSE; Risk assessment; Surveillance; Risk perception; リスク評価; サーベイランス; リスク認知. Ano: 2011 URL: http://ir.obihiro.ac.jp/dspace/handle/10322/3110 Comparison of Perception of Risk and Willingness to Consume GM Foods AgEcon Wachenheim, Cheryl J.; Nganje, William E.; Lesch, William C.. The dichotomy between perceptions of the acceptability of risk associated with genetically modified (GM) foods and willingness to consume GM foods is investigated. Results indicate that some consumers are willing to consume GM foods even though they may perceive such foods as somewhat unsafe, with determinants such as self-perceived knowledge about the availability of GM foods and altruistic motives having positive and significant impacts on their consumption decision. Efforts towards decreasing perceptions of risk and ultimately increasing acceptance of, and demand for, GM foods should address issues related to their altruistic characteristics and outrage.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/6876 ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PRIVATE FOOD STANDARDS AgEcon Giraud-Heraud, Eric; Grazia, Cristina; Hammoudi, Abdelhakim. This paper provides an original theoretical framework to better understand the raise of private quality standards in agrifood chains. Reasons for the development and conditions for the effectiveness of private quality standards are identified, by investigating firms’ strategic behaviour and, more precisely, both interactions among processing/retailing firms and upstream producers and the role of consumers’ behaviour. Considering different levels of consumers risk perception, we show that the incentive for firms to develop a more stringent private standard may increase with the level of the regulated minimum quality standard. Moreover, setting a private standard may reduce the risk of consumer dissatisfaction while increasing the marketed quantity....

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/116408 Trust in Label Information to Recuperate Consumer's Confidence for Meat: A Compared Analysis among Canada, Italy, and Spain AgEcon Rosa, Franco; Sanchez Garcia, Mercedes; Barrena Figueroa, Ramo. The analysis consisted in a field experiment performed by testing the opinions of different consumers groups: two of them located in the European Regions respectively: Friuli-Venezia-Giulia in Italy and Navarra in Spain; a third one located in the Ontario region, Canada. The data were processed by using a multivariate structural equation in the multi-group version. The enquiry was performed in 2003, just after the news about BSE disease were released in some UE countries, and consisted in a regional survey designed ad' hoc and submitted by face to face home made interviews, to collect information about consumer habits, opinions and evidences about trust in the food label. By testing the cross-country consumer's behaviours it was allowed to get evidences...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7744 A Critical Account of the Relationship between Institutional Trust, Risk Perception, and Technology Acceptance with an Application to Genetically Modified Foods AgEcon Boecker, Andreas; Nocella, Giuseppe. This article critically reflects on the widely held view of a causal chain with trust in public authorities impacting technology acceptance via perceived risk. It first puts forward conceptual reason against this view, as the presence of risk is a precondition for trust playing a role in decision making. Second, results from consumer surveys in Italy and Germany are presented that support the associationist model as counter hypothesis. In that view, trust and risk judgments are driven by and thus simply indicators of higher order attitudes toward a certain technology which determine acceptance instead. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7749 Avian Influenza Threat and its Potential Impact on Demand for Chicken and Eggs AgEcon Liu, Kang Ernest; Huang, Min-Hsin; Hsu, Jane Lu; Lee, Hwang-Jaw. A highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of avian influenza (AI) has been confirmed in 420 human cases and has caused 257 deaths in the world starting from 2003. Using face-to-face interviews, our data were collected by utilizing a stratified sampling scheme following the distribution of gender and age in three major metropolitan areas in Taiwan, including Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung. The questionnaire was designed to retrieve information including AI knowledge, risk perceptions, and behavioral changes of two types of consumers, primary shoppers and general consumers. In total, 501 primary shoppers and 505 general consumers completed the survey in June 2007 and were recorded for analysis. The empirical results show several interesting findings, especially, that...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/49297 Effects of Media Coverage on Demand AgEcon Dierks, Leef H.. Food safety crises usually receive widespread publicity and an extensive media coverage which evidently is mainly negative. Based on previous research, the purpose of this article is to illustrate the impact of positive and negative food safety information on demand both in the short and long term. Apparently, asymmetric effects of media coverage provoke a shift in the consumers' perception of risk and, in a subsequent step, their reactions. This cycle shall be investigated and explained in detail since it improves the prospects for a prediction of consumers' reactions to food safety crises. Results will contribute to the European Commission's research project Food Risk Communication and Consumers' Trust in the Food Supply Chain - TRUST.

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/24992 Risk-Increasing and Risk-Reducing Practices in Human Resource Management: Focus Group Discussions with Livestock Managers AgEcon Bitsch, Vera; Olynk, Nicole J.. Historically, managers in livestock production have focused on production management; however, as operations have grown they have spent more time managing employees. Increased time spent overseeing employees brings additional risks and challenges, and, hence, a greater need for human resource management (HRM) skills. This study investigated HRM practices in pork production and analyzed their risk attributes through six focus group discussions with managers. Results were compared to existing data from four dairy focus groups and to other research. The results have been used to develop and adapt educational workshops for managers in pork production.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/45518 FARMERS’ RISK PERCEPTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON AgEcon Palinkas, Peter; Szekely, Csaba. The local, regional and global economic and natural phenomena of previous decades collectively emphasize the growing importance of risk factors affecting agricultural production both directly and indirectly. Agricultural producers should not restrict their risk management strategies to offset and relieve the problems caused by climatic and natural phenomena, but the knowledge of up-to-date professional, market, and agricultural policy developments is more and more an indispensable condition of successful farming. Besides what mentioned above, it is at least equally important to answer the question of how farmers perceive the importance of risk factors surrounding their activities, as it strongly influences the shaping of their risk management strategies....

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/47554 FOOD SAFETY PERCEPTIONS AND BEHAVIOR OF CONSUMERS IN THE SOUTHERN BLACK BELT OF THE U.S. AgEcon Adu-Nyako, Kofi; Thompson, Alton. A new data set is used to study differences in the food safety perceptions and behavior of black and white consumers in the Southern Black Belt of the US. Analysis of general food safety risk perceptions and ethnic origin indicate no significant differences in the perceptions of blacks and whites. Further, the issue of 'misperception' by consumers of the origin of most foodborne illness is not explained by sociodemograhic factors but rather consumers information sources and awareness of foodborne pathogens.

Ano: 1999 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/21611 Risk management, vulnerability, and risk perception of organic farmers in Spain AgEcon Medina, Felipe; Iglesias, Ana; Mateos, Carlos. This study analyses the specific risks that organic farmers must manage. Due to the special features of management of their productive system, and due to the specific characteristics of their cultivations, they must face different risks than conventional farmers. Even if the Spanish farmers rely on the insurance system to manage their risks, today organic farmers do not have specific insurance products to manage them. The methodology and results presented in this study include the following: First, the primary information is compiled after the elaboration of more than 500 questionnaires to organic farmers of diverse Spanish regions. Second, the risk analysis is carried out by evaluating statistical, probabilistic, and stochastic properties of the...

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/9274 Looking for Security-Oriented Information Systems: Risk Perception and Management in Italian Companies AgEcon Palmieri, Roberto; Volpentesta, Antonio P.. This paper presents the results of an empirical investigation concerning the approaches adopted by Italian companies in dealing with information security issues. Such results are compared to an ideal, integrated information system planning approach where information needs and risk management are jointly taken into account. Data analysis shows that respondents ascribe to information security a rather high relevance for their business, and there is a formal conformity of business practices to the phases included in the proposed model, especially as far as high level, conceptual activities are concerned. Despite that, in the companies which have been examined, security systems appear to be still inadequate, especially as far as organizational issues are...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7751 FOOD SAFETY RISK PERCEPTION AND CONSUMER CHOICE OF SPECIALTY MEATS AgEcon Nganje, William E.; Kaitibie, Simeon. Consumer perception issues and recent microbial outbreaks in the livestock industry continue to stifle demand for specialty meats in the United States. This study was designed to explore impacts of risk perception issues on consumer choice of bison meat. A stated preference discrete choice random utility model, a joint risk perception/product choice model, and a probability of frequency method to aggregating risk scenarios, were used for a range of food safety/certification regimes. Perceived risk reduces bison consumption, but its effect declines with shifts to more regulatory control inherent in the different certification regimes.

Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/23606 Social and Ethical Considerations of Nuclear Power Development AgEcon Parkins, John R.; Haluza-DeLay, Randolph. A new urgency is emerging around nuclear power development and this urgency is accentuated by the post-tsunami events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. This urgency extends beyond these dramatic events in Japan, however, to many other regions of the world and situations where nuclear power development is receiving renewed attention as an alternative to carbon-based energy sources. As a contribution to the growing public debate about nuclear power development, this paper offers a set of insights into the social and ethical aspects of nuclear power development by drawing from published literature in the humanities and social sciences. We offer insights into public risk perception of nuclear power at individual and national levels, the...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/103237 Do Transaction Costs and Risk Preferences Influence Marketing Arrangements in the Illinois Hog Industry? AgEcon Franken, Jason R.V.; Pennings, Joost M.E.; Garcia, Philip. Risk reduction and transaction costs are often used to explain contracting in the U.S. hog industry with little empirical support. Using a unified conceptual framework that draws from risk behavior and transaction cost theories, in combination with unique survey and accounting data, we demonstrate that risk preferences and asset specificity impact Illinois producers’ use of contracts and spot markets. In particular, producers’ investments in specific hog genetics and human capital are related to selection of long-term marketing contracts over spot markets. Producers who perceive greater levels of price risk and/or are more averse are more (less) likely to use contracts (spot markets).

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/54548 Food Scares and Consumer Behaviour: A European Perspective AgEcon Mazzocchi, Mario; Lobb, Alexandra E.; Traill, W. Bruce. In this paper a consumer food choice model based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is extended to account for risk perception and trust. The data are from a nationally representative European survey of 2 725 respondents from five countries, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The model relates the intention to purchase chicken in an extended TPB framework, which incorporates risk perceptions, and trust in alternative sources of food safety information. This model was run for two behaviours of interest: the standard likelihood of intention to purchase and the likelihood of intention to purchase conditional on news about a salmonella incident. The model has good predictive power and shows distinct country differences. Only in...
