Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais, Rio de Janeiro, n. 14, p. 15-26, dez. 2009.1808-4524e- 2176-9478http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/13884This article arose from the need to build an operation model that provides scientific support to technological and qualitative evaluation of environmental risks. The definition of risk and how to empirically operationalize this concept was initially outlined. The way that people think and behave in risk situations is one of the most important things in environmental risk operationalization. The models that operationalize the environmental risk concept was discussed and compared with the theory of modernity risk. This case study shows how risk perception and evaluation is different between the scientific community and the public.porAcesso AbertoRisco ambientalOperacionalizaçãoRisco na modernidadeEnvironmental riskOperationModernity riskSistemas peritos e atores sociais na análise de risco ambientalArtigo
