A Proposed Framework for Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) in Airports
Abstract
As environmental pressures increase globally, the need arises to understand and manage present and emerging environmental risks. The aim of this chapter is to introduce a new Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) approach to identify, assess, and report the level of environmental risks that can lead to significant interruptions, infrastructure damages, safety threats, and long-term effects on airport operations. ERA evaluates the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of environmental hazards, which involve physical, chemical, and biological factors that can imperil humans and infrastructure. The presented ERA framework is deployed in six phases, namely airport preparation, definition of the assessment scope and parameters, data collection and development of projection scenarios, risk assessment, mitigation and adaptation strategies, report, monitor, and review. In essence, the outlined ERA approach serves as a managerial tool to facilitate policy assessment and sustainable decision-making.
