9. A place of safety – risky and protected places

​

• ​Risky Places

The idea for this focus came from a number of books I have about risky places which nonetheless have a draw to them e.g. the exclusion zone around Chernobyl or Fukushima, or the red zone on Montserrat.

​

There are also hazard 'hotspots', which are prone to particular combinations of natural hazards.

​

• Protected Places

​

CCTV is used in many city centre as a way of keeping people 'safe'.

Surveillance is part of our life - the TV programme 'Hunted' uses some of the tools that can be used by the security services.

​

How does this 'change' a place?
