About article:
The paper deals with assessment of risk resulting from interaction between a technical work and the environment. The problem is analysed systemically and the relation between the concepts of hazard and risk is emphasized. Hazard is interpreted as a qualitative character used for identification of facts and processes representing hazard for systems and their parts participating in interaction. Risk in turn is interpreted as a qualitative character which estimates the probability of identified hazards and the rate of their potential impact (damage) on both, active and passive interactive systems. Use of GIS in the process of risk assessment proved to be useful as it involves manipulation of big databases of the defined geographic information stratified in several semantic areas.
