Abstract
Risk has increased with the development of an Internet-oriented society, and to what extent that risk can be reduced has become a major issue. Thus, risk communication has become crucial for the formation of a consensus among decision-makers such as citizens. Dealing with risk, however, requires the reduction of risks based on conflicting concepts such as security, privacy, and development costs; obtaining the consensus of individuals involved and determining optimal combinations of the measures are not easy. A “multiplex risk communicator (MRC)” with (1) a simulator, (2) an optimization engine, and (3) displays for the formation of a consensus is needed in order to resolve such problems. This paper describes the features an MRC should have, a simple prototype program to support it, and results of its trial application.
