The Visualisations of the Intersection between Risks and Social Vulnerability Using Interactive Dashboards

There is a growing importance of visual tools in risk sociology to communicate scientific concepts and data to the public and decision-makers.Here, we could observe an increasing amount of content presented by diverse tools -risk matrices, infographics, dashboards, video lessons, etc. Project Serenity aims to establish a dashboard where different risks and social vulnerability characteristics are presented for the Lithuanian case based on objective data on risk levels and population census data.In the article, we explore the differences in the urban, peri-urban and rural areas from the perspective of the spatial intersection between risks and social vulnerabilities in relation to the public perception of crisis preparedness.Urban areas face complex social and environmental challenges, while rural areas contend with resource-driven natural risks.Peri-urban zones, blending both contexts, experience heightened social vulnerabilities due to their unique dynamics.In Lithuania, where peri-urbanization is recent, these interactions are particularly dynamic, offering insights into building resilient communities.
