Justify your answer. I believe behavioural model best describes the situation and subsequent decision-making process in this case because the knowledge was limited in the situation which lead to limited alternative options as they failed to clearly define if there was a initial problem for the Wivenhoe Dam or not. Once it was too late they chose to release the flood gates as their last alternative, which has proven they notified the public before they actually released the
closing the Icelandic ring road to avoid injuries. Geological monitoring was possible as the area had invested in equipment and geologists were on location waiting for any activity- this is likely not available in an LEDC as the sufficient education is not provided about the volcanic hazards. The two countries I am focusing on are
1. What information sources (or potential information sources) could have been used to assist with the decision-making process for Wivenhoe Dam in this case? SEQ Water, Managerial Decision making: - Problem avoidably - Problem solvers - Problem seekers DERM (Department of environmental resource management) Water commission Approaches to decision making: - Classic approach - Behavioral approach - Judmental approach 2. With reference to decision-making theory covered in the chapter, describe the type of managerial decision-making evident in this case, and the conditions under which decisions were made. A risk environment: You have a lack of complete information with the weather.
Rigger Inc. tried to take the approval of the design changes; however, they did not. Hence, they could never have the authority for the new changes regarding lifting positions before the hoisting of the antenna started, it is possible to see negligence here. This was the causal condition. In this case, making the design change can be accepted as a trigger factor. The liability of standard of care in terms of providing the design belonged to Antenna Engineering Inc.

What is Environmental Psychology? Jolie Ferguson PSY 460 August 27, 2012 What is Environmental Psychology? Environmental psychology evaluates the social interactions between human behavior and the environment. The discipline characterizes the word “environment” to include all that is natural on the earth as well as informational, built, social, and learning environments. Environmental psychologist solves problems regarding human-environment interactions, whether globular or localized, and tries to predict the environmental conditions under which humans will act in a proper and constructive demeanor.
Like the saying goes “Too much of anything is bad”, so is it true in the case of water. In this module, we would discuss about Flood, which is huge amount of water submerging the dry land. It is one of the most common and widespread disasters occurring naturally. We would start with defining a flood and then move on to its cause and effects. Finally we would be coming up with ways to mitigate its effects and what needs to be done during a flood.
A set time is made by the divinity for the flood to begin. The flood includes both rain and water from the surface. The flood covered the mountains. The boat came to rest on a mountain first. Birds were released to test for whether or not the waters had receded.
This would have resulted in a dynamic complexity due to deficient feedback. Following which, a meeting with multiple stakeholders in the project was held prior to the commencement of the internal gas pipe installation work. The meeting was, however, not recorded. Such lack of follow-up actions meant that there were grounds for miscommunication and misinterpretation to take place as large amounts of information flow could have taken place giving rise to the cognitive complexity
Recycling Should Be Mandatory Non-biodegradable waste poses a great challenge to environment conservation efforts. This is simply because this kind of waste does not decompose naturally leaving profound effects on the environment. The lack of a proper disposal mechanism puts the world at a poor position in as far as environment conservation is concerned. This calls for government intervention through regulations to revamp the campaign for both the preservation and conservation of Mother Nature. Disposal techniques such as burning and using dumpsites only push the environment further down the drain (Logomasini, 1); since such waste disposal methods bring about environmental concerns as well.
