Development of land-use planning criteria to reduce industrial risk

The development of land-use planning criteria for the minimization of the industrial risk to which the population is exposed requires the application of quantitative area risk analysis (QARA) techniques. Frequently these applications have shown that incidents related to the transport of dangerous goods are comparable in number and magnitude to those occurring in chemical plants. For this reason research is focused on the development and improving methods for area risk analysis and specific procedures for the transport of dangerous goods. The main object of this work is the application of the ARIPAR-GIS software to the industrial area of Milazzo and then the application of the TRAT code to the transportation of dangerous goods. The results of this work have found a critical situation in the road transport system, for this reason the applications of these software are used to define land-use planning criteria to reduce the risk.
