Abstract:
Safety and Security, risk and resilience represent important factors for a successful festival. The paper describes the role of safety and the challenges which are derived from it. The role and responsibilies of the different stakeholders are briefly described before discussing risk and its components. Explicitely it will be distinguished between the risk itself and the result of the situation, when a risk caused an unwanted effect with a possible danger for the visitors. The opportunities to cope with it include the importance of resilience of people and societies. The paper ends with a summary which shows the linkage of the dimensions risk, safety and resilience.
