CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS. POINT OF VIEW
VICTOR SOROCOVSCHI
Abstract. Classification of hazards. Point of view. The classification of hazards is a necessity determined by the origin and the multitude of phenomena and processes approached in the study of risks, as well as by their location. The classification of hazards is very difficult due to the complexity of the underlying phenomena and the relationships at the level of geosystems. As a result, the first part of the paper analyses in detail the criteria for classifying hazards (genetic, typological phenomena, spatial, temporal, mode of manifestation, impact, effects produced, etc.), which allow the delimitation of types and subtypes. In the second part of the paper, starting from the mentioned criteria, we proceed to the classification of hazards.
Key-words: hazard, study of risks, classification of hazards.
