      abstract     = {This volume presents a set of papers from an international
                      workshop an "Risk Communication". Participants were about 20
                      researchers from the U .S. and about 20 researchersfrom
                      Europe, in particular from the FRG. Although they
                      represented a widerange of disciplines and nationalities,
                      their common interest were the problems ofcommunicating
                      about risks, particularly for health and environment,
                      resulting from thedevelopment and application of modern
                      technological systems and procedures.Why has risk
                      communication research become so important? Modern societies
                      havegreat difficulties in coping socially and politically
                      with new technologies and their consequences. The debates
                      between experts and laypeople, between scientists and
                      politicians,between advocates and critics, between political
                      parties, and even within scientificcommunities and political
                      parties are "hot": One argues, and sometimes fights,
                      aboutthe probability of accidents in power plants, about the
                      consequences of increased (orreduced) car traffic, aboüt
                      the possibility of the creation of genetically dangerous
                      materialthrough the combination of genetically harmless
                      material, and about the illdefinedconsequences of potential
                      global climatic change.Whereas most people today have come
                      to realize that in a democratic political systemthere is
                      simply no alternative to open, honest, and extensive
                      information and communication,most people also have come to
                      realize that this is an extremely difficult, andsometimes
                      dangerous, task. As has been said before, informing about
                      risk has itself ahigh risk of failure. A well-known example
                      is the presentation of information aboutextreme low
                      probabilities of an accident (e. g., in a nuclear plant) or
                      about effects whichcannot be perceived with our senses (e.
                      g., radiation).The workshop presented, for the first time in
                      the FRG, the theoretical concepts, empiricalfmdings,
                      practical experiences, and some conclusions of a scientific
                      communitywhich explicitly focusses an "risk communication".
                      The scientists met at the ResearchCenter in Jülich for a
                      particular reason: Within the Program Group Technology
                      andSociety there is one research group founded a few years
                      ago under the direction ofOrtwin Renn to examine the social
                      compatability of energy supply systems. Recently,this group
                      shifted its attention to the study of risk communication
                      problems in a nationaland international context. The
                      workshop provided an important opportunity tolearn and
                      discuss about the present state-of-the-art of risk
                      communication research.},
