Technological risk
Spatial development glossary, European Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning (CEMAT), Territory and landscape, No 2, published by Council of Europe Publishing in 2007, states: ‘A technological risk is necessarily related to human activities in the fields of manufacturing and energy production, transport, buildings, public works, etc. Risks due to industrial, nuclear, mining and subterranean activities or risks due to the transport of hazardous substances (by land, river or sea) or the threat of a dam rupture are all considered major technological risks.’
