摘      要：Industrial accidents have shown that many people can be affected,such as in Seveso,Italy,in *** accidents in nuclear power plants have also led to fatalities and *** better guide preparedness against and mitigation of industrial accidents,an assessment is necessary to evaluate hazard exposure and the type of potentially vulnerable social groups that need to be taken into *** study conducted a spatial assessment of three types of industrial facilities in Germany:facilities registered under the Seveso Directive,chemical parks,and nuclear power *** method consisted of a spatial assessment using a Geographic Information System of exposure around hazardous sites registered under the S eveso Directive in Germany and of census data to analyze social *** analyzed included industrial accidents and *** results revealed that most industrial sites are in urban areas and that population density,the numbers of foreigners,and smaller housing unit sizes are higher in close proximity to these *** buffer zones analyzed in circles between 1 and 40 km show a decreasing vulnerability with more *** can guide emergency management planners and other stakeholders to better prepare for major accidents and better devise disaster risk reduction strategies specifically for different social groups.
