“…From the first perspective, off-site individual risk or societal risks are calculated for an MHI considering major accident scenarios [22,31,16,11,21]. Accordingly, pieces of land in the vicinity of MHI are designated to particular developments based on their vulnerability and the levels of risks they are exposed to.…”

Land use planning (LUP) as an effective and crucial safety measure has widely been employed by safety experts and decision makers to mitigate off-site risks posed by major accidents. Accordingly, the concept of LUP in chemical plants has traditionally been considered from two perspectives: (i) land developments around existing chemical plants considering potential off-site risks posed by major accidents and (ii) development of existing chemical plants considering nearby land developments and the level of additional off-site risks the land developments would be exposed to. However, the attempts made to design chemical plants with regard to LUP requirements have been few, most of which have neglected the role of domino effects in risk analysis of major accidents. To overcome the limitations of previous work, first, we developed a Bayesian network methodology to calculate both on-site and off-site risks of major accidents while taking domino effects into account. Second, we combined the results of risk analysis with Analytic Hierarchical Process to design an optimal layout for which the levels of on-site and off-site risks would be minimum.

“…Land‐use planning with respect to major accidents is a mechanism for dealing with actual or potential conflicts between sources of risk and vulnerabilities in surrounding areas. Land‐use planning has been adopted by many countries as one of the essential elements for accident prevention . However, in the past several decades of rapid development in China, priority was given to economic development whereas major accident hazards were not given due consideration in the land‐use planning process.…”

Major accident risks posed by chemical hazards have raised major social concerns in today's China. Land-use planning has been adopted by many countries as one of the essential elements for accident prevention. This article aims at proposing a method to assess major accident risks to support land-use planning in the vicinity of chemical installations. This method is based on the definition of risk by the Accidental Risk Assessment Methodology for IndustrieS (ARAMIS) project and it is an expansion application of severity and vulnerability assessment tools. The severity and vulnerability indexes from the ARAMIS methodology are employed to assess both the severity and vulnerability levels, respectively. A risk matrix is devised to support risk ranking and compatibility checking. The method consists of four main steps and is presented in geographical information-system-based maps. As an illustration, the proposed method is applied in Dagushan Peninsula, China. The case study indicated that the method could not only aid risk regulations on existing land-use planning, but also support future land-use planning by offering alternatives or influencing the plans at the development stage, and thus further enhance the roles and influence of land-use planning in the accident prevention activities in China.

“…LUP criteria are based on specific acceptability criteria with respect to the calculated risk. This approach is followed in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands [7,[8][9][10][11][12] and has been applied in specific case studies in Greece [13,14].…”
