# Risk Management/Content Matrix
## Risk Management - Content Matrix

| MATRIX | Technology | Implementation | Research |
| RISK: Where is the risk? | e.g GIS Tutorial for Risk Maps | Implement Spatial Risk Mapping | e.g. Identify Pathway of Toxicants to Humans |
| RESPONSE: Where are the resources? | e.g. Tutorial of Resource Allocation with GIS | e.g. Implement access to risk mitigation resource by application of mobile devices | e.g. Research about Optimization of Resource Allocation applicable for Risk Mitigation |
| EDUCATION: Do the people know? | e.g. Tutorial for Risk Mitigation app for mobile devices | e.g. Implementation of Risk Literacy Programmes | e.g. Living Lab Research for Capacity Building of Risk Literacy |
Risk management is the
* (Risk) identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks as the effect of uncertainty on objectives
* (Response) coordination for an improved preparedness for the determined risk, followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities for risk mitigation.
* (Education) learn to identify risks and perform an appropriate response are approached in the module about Risk Literacy.
Systemic Connectivity: The application and allocation of resources for risk mitigation is part of the response to the identified risk. The response (e.g. vector control for mosquitoes, education in risk literacy) in turn changes risk due to better preparedness. Assessment of risk mitigation activities triggers an alteration of allocation and application of resources to improve risk mitigation in the next loop. Education helps, so that individuals can respond appropriately to risk.

## Origin of Course Development

The development of courses for Risk management as a learning content builds of the Open Community Approach to support Capacity Building for Risk Literacy and provide access to risk management knowledge (see EFG-SGH). The objective is to support learning and comprehension of decision making process under uncertainty to minimize negative impacts on the community, improve awareness of the risk and better preparedness in case of a negative events. The spatial patterns of risk and the spatial availability of resources for risk mitigation are main aspect of the spatial decision support. The results of the [w:Community_of_practice|community of practice] at the Expert Focus Group for Space and Global Health and generalisations derived from international activities for disaster management are the foundations for this course. Tailored capacity building for community needs can be developed and shared in Wikiversity.

## Subtopics of Risk Mitigation

* Modelling of Risks and Response Maps for Spatial Decision Support Systems
* Global Health and One Health
** Spatial Epidemiology (spatial topics of Risk Management in Epidemiology) and
** Spatial Ecotoxicology (spatial pattern of epidemiological risks and spatial allocation of resource for risk mitigation)
* User-driven spatial activities by application Mobile Devices as Decision Support Clients
* Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS): A SDSS is combination of an Geographic Information System and a Decision Support Systems and Geographic Information Systems
* Short-term long-term drivers in Risk Management: If risk exposed communities battle to survive the next week, long term health risk may be of low priority for the community. Short term economical benefits (e.g. application of less argochemical with the same harvest yield) could lead to a long term health risk mitigation by less exposure to toxic substances. In this course context economical risk are regarded as linked with other aspect of risks for environment and health and not as pure financial optimization for companies.
* Living Labs as a Research Environment is applied as research concept for risk mitigation. A living lab is a user-centred, open innovation ecosystem, considers the spatial pattern of risk and resource in a territorial context (e.g. city, agglomeration, region), integrating concurrent research and innovation processes within a public-private-people partnership.
* Application of Space Technology for Risk Management.
* Risk Literacy, Real-World Lab and Augmented Reality for about capacity building with Open Educational Resouces
* Trust in Data, Information and Knowledge
* Clean Drinking Water is a required resource for supporting health of humans and in general to life on earth. Apply the concept of Risk Management to drinking water and create a link to diseases like Cholera.

## Information for Teachers

* Create tailored Wikibooks according to prerequisites of learners,
* Import and Export Course Material
* Open Educational Resources are helpful, so people can access risk mitigation resources and learn about options for risk mitigation. Explore the application of PanDocElectron in conjunction with Wikiversity for the generation and adaptation of Educational Resources for improvment of Risk Literacy.

## Quality Assurance of Course Material

The Wikiversity Enviroment is regarded as working environment with the Quality Assurance of the Wiki-Community. Nevertheless the educational institution may want to create snapshot of quality assured articles at a certain time. The following processes is suggested:
* Quality Assurance as Part of the Wiki Community: perform a quality assurance of the selected articles, topics, ... in Wikipedia and Wikiversity that are relevant for a certain course (e.g. GIS and Health) and add scientific citations, respond to , ...
* Wikibook Export & Publication: Publish the Wikibook with date, names of team members, that did the final quality assurance for creating the course material. So this procedure freezes a snapshot of Wiki content as reference for course material of an University $X$ in the year $Y$, that is available e.g. in learning management system the e.g. a University works with.
* Public-Private-Versioning (PPV): Private versioning are performed by a group of authors that allow public read access to the repository and write access is limited to the group of authors. trust in capacity building material is mainly the trust of potential users in the quality assurance of the group of authors. Private versioning can be realized e.g. in GitHub. This provides a transparency for
Just like a wiki is allows a private versioning of content and the trust in a group authors might lead to decision to use the last quality assured version in the private versioning system instead the lasted version in wiki. References in the wikiversity content to quality assured private version are recommended to insert in the learning resource. It is not necessary that the quality assured versions are stored in GitHub as technical solution. Quality assured Capacity Building material can be published by an organization on the web portal. In turn public available resources need a OER license, so that the capacity building material can be adapted to local and regional requirements and constraints.
