Risk taking behavior has great influence on the decision making process of individuals. In this respect, the methodology used in assessing individuals’ risk tolerance becomes an important issue. However, there is lack of unique and commonly used risk tolerance measure in literature. There are mainly two different approaches in measuring risk tolerance in literature; lottery versus financial risk assessment technique (FRT). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether measurement techniques differ with different decision frames (choosing lotteries as gambling decision frame and choosing portfolio etc. as investment decision). The results show that these two different risk assessment instruments differ when measured through using lottery versus investment questions (individuals tend to be more risk tolerant when they make investment decisions). However, two different financial risk assessment instruments fall into the same line.

Application of a risk visualization framework using semantic risk data to empower risk communication
Ertaymaz, Muzaffer Uğurcan; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Department of Civil Engineering (2020)
Risk communication is one of the major factors that effects the success of a project. Conventional risk management focuses on risk checklists and matrices, and considerable amount of risk information is discarded and not communicated. Without communicating the necessary risk information, risk management strategies cannot be applied effectively. The purpose of this study is to develop a systematic and practical risk visualization framework that shall improve the risk communication strategies. The proposed fr...

This thesis introduces a formal method and addresses the necessity of the identification and analysis of the risk. During implementation of risk management process, risk assessment will be discussed within an acquisition of software intensive systems in the Turkish Army. This thesis includes a survey and comparison of other software risk ...
Identifying and managing risk in mega-projects: the case of automotive test center project in Turkey
Ayvazoğlu, Buğra; Akın Ateş, Melek.; Department of Business Administration (2019)
The issue of risk assessment in projects has attracted considerable attention in both practice and the literature. Although the number of studies investigating large-scale engineering projects (construction, rail system projects, power plants, etc.) has been increasing, majority of them focus on private sector. In this thesis, it is specifically focused on a current, mega-project where both governmental and private organizations participate, namely the Automotive Test Center Project carried out in Turkey. T...
Reducing Local Vulnerabilities and Risks by Planning Decisions: The Case of Fatih District in İstanbul
Saracoğlu, Pınar Ertan (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2015-6-15)
Son on yıl içerisinde, küresel ölçekte afet riski yönetimi için gereken araç ve kavramsal çerçeveler bu konudaki öncelikleri acil durum yönetiminden afet öncesi risk yönetimine kaydırarak kent planlamasından yeni görevler talep etmiştir. Yerel, ulusal ve küresel düzeylerde güvenlik ve dirençlilik kapasiteleri; planlama disiplinine yerel sismik kayıpları azaltmada ve yerel bir sakınım stratejisi tanımlamada öncü rol vermektedir. Diğer taraftan uluslararası kavramsal çerçevenin afet öncesi yaklaşım kapsamında...
An Experimental Study on Impact of Risk Data Visualization onRisk Evaluations
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Eken, Görkem (null; 2018-11-18)
Risk assessment is a systematic process to characterize and evaluate risk, with the available knowledge. Thus, its success depends significantly on the "availability of knowledge" during the assessment process. The knowledge elicitation from experts, the structure of the risk database and information visualization that may help sense-making from previous projects are critical factors that can improve risk assessment process. Risk assessment is usually carried out at the start of a project and updated during...
