Assessment of the environment vulnerability in the surroundings of an industrial site

ARAMIS project aims at assessing the risk level of an industrial site. To reach this goal, the environment, as a target, must be studied and taken into account. On the base of a multicriteria decision approach (Saaty method), a structured methodology is proposed. In the first step an identification of generic targets is made in order to assess, in a second step, their vulnerability. The expected results are cartographical representations of the index of vulnerability V which represents the vulnerability of an area in the surroundings of an industrial site. This methodology must be implemented into a geographical information system (G.I.S) in order to devise an operational tool to evaluate the vulnerability for the competent authorities, the industrialist and the risk experts.
