Risk assessment and environmental issues are among the most important subjects of research today. In an evaluation process, all sources, vectors and receptors are taken into account in order to achieve a description of territorial risk (infrastructural networks, transportation of hazardous materials, etc.) factors influencing the general evaluation framework. This validated integrated information system allows evaluations of the possible consequences of industrial disasters or spills regarding: new plants and installations, relocation of existing production activities; infrastructural modifications; and general planning activities by using specific models. The system which can be developed from this project would supply information services at several levels: to authorities charged with the control and the management of industrial risk; to managers of hazardous industries; and the information to the population.
