Territory, Risk and Public Policies
The doctoral program aims to provide solid training in areas related to risk. The program is structured along three strategic lines: a) promotion of a critical vision, both in relation to the concepts of risk, vulnerability and social resilience, as well as risk assessment and management instruments, considering the contextual dimensions of the risks (sociological dimension); b) the possibility for trainees to be involved in risk analysis in the context of different programs and plans for development and land use planning, in studies to assess policies and in projects with territorial impact (planning dimension); c) analysis of environmental risks and climate change, critically assessing international and national governance policies in this area (environmental dimension).
The program also intends to establish ways of involving communities, institutions, actors and citizens in risk governance practices.
