THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SECURITY
RISK PERCEPTION BY STUDENTS: CASE OF FACULTY OF SECURITY ENGINEERING, UNIVERSTIY OF ZILINA
- 1 Faculty of Security Engineering – University of Ţilina, the Slovak Republic
Abstract
The perception, awareness and understanding of risk by the population are important factors for the society safety, which contribute to increasing the preparedness of the population for the effects of crisis events, whether natural, industrial, economic, social, or in enterprise. The article focuses on the analysis of the need for education of students in the area of risk management and crisis management. The research groups were only students, not the population in general. The results were achieved by analysing the current state of education at the Faculty of Security Engineering – University of Žilina and a partial statistical evaluation of the questionnaire survey among students of this faculty. The results indicate that the risk perception of students is relatively low and the need for education in this field is justified.
