Author: Elma Demir
Year: 2026
The aim of this research was not only to identify individual disaster risks, but also to understand how different risks intersect and reinforce one another, particularly in the context of long-term industrial activity, weak institutional oversight, and climate change. The purpose of this document is to translate the research findings into a well-argued call for urgent changes in the public policies and practices of the Municipality of Kakanj, particularly in the areas of civil protection, environmental protection, public health, and the management of industrial risks.
