English summary: Risks are cyclical. Whether it be authorities, insurance companies, mass media, urban developers or risk researchers, all identify risks, warn of them and provide or question security. This includes the indication that risk is unevenly distributed. The purpose of risk management is to locate and map risks, and to identify secure from insecure areas. The book argues for a change of the normal observation mode. Instead of identifying and spatializing risks per qualitative secondary observation practices of construction, it should be understood how and under what conditions risks are constructed? The volume combines human and physical geographic perspectives in a common appeal on observation theories. With the contributions the author demonstrates the fruitfulness of this approach for interdisciplinary risk research. As a working group book the author explores both the potential and limits of a (radical) constructivist perspective. German text. German description: Risiken haben Konjunktur. Ob Behörden, Versicherungen, Massenmedien, Stadt¡ent¡wickler(innen) oder Risikoforscher(innen): Sie alle identifizieren Risiken, warnen vor ihnen und stellen Sicherheiten in Aussicht oder in Frage. Dazu gehört der Hinweis, dass diese ungleich verteilt sind. Zwecks Risikomanagements werden sie verortet und kartiert, sichere von unsicheren Räumen unterschieden. Der Band plädiert fuer einen Wechsel des ueblichen Beobachtungsmodus: Statt Risiken festzustellen und zu verräumlichen, geht es qua Beobachtung 2. Ordnung um die Praktiken der Konstruktion: Wie und unter welchen Bedingungen werden Risiken konstruiert? Welche Folgen hat ihre Verortung?Im gemeinsamen Rekurs auf die Beobachtungstheorie vereint der Band human- und physiogeographische Perspektiven. Mit seinen Beiträgen demonstriert er die Fruchtbarkeit dieses Ansatzes fuer die interdisziplinäre Risikoforschung. Als working group book lotet er zugleich die Potenziale und Grenzen einer (radikal) konstruktivistischen Perspektive aus. Read more
