本課程希望能於帶領學生從了解風險的概念入門，學習風險管理、風險溝通、預防原則等制度與概念，並透過探討在國內引發高度關切與爭議性的香菸、傳染病、核能、美國牛肉與基因改造產品等風險相關議題，學習區分風險與民眾恐慌，以了解不同類型風險的內涵與管理模式，進而掌握相關法規的本質與內涵。
This course aims to address the methods of managing health and environmental risks. It will introduce the concept of risk, zero-risk v. balance between various interests and costs, risk management, risk communications as well as the highly debated precautionary principle. While examining the nature of some of the most concerned health and environmental risks in Taiwan, the concept of so-called "risk" is divided into three categories, which are actual risks, risk/uncertainty with no sufficient scientific evidences, and public fears without sound stands. Mechanisms and difficulties to deal with these three types of risk will be addressed respectively during the courses.
This course attends to provide students the definition of risk, the concepts and mechanisms of risk management, risk communications, and precautionary principle. Through addressing the health and environmental related risk such as cigarette, infectious diseases, nuclear power, food safety and US beef, and GMO, which are recently concerned and debated in Taiwan, students will learn to distinguish risk from fear with no sound ground. In addition, students are expected to understand the effective means to deal with the various types of "risk," and the nature of relevant laws and regulations.
