 note = {Difference in risk judgments among stakeholders potentially contributes to barriers in
environmental risk communication and management. This study had explored how each stakeholder judged
risks associated with Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the area adjacent to Maptaphut industrial estate
complex in Thailand, and proposed a guideline for sustainable environmental risk communication and
management by integrating stakeholders’ risk judgments. The study has three research objectives. The first
objective is to review the situation of environmental contamination and health impacts on people living in
Maptaphut area, Rayong province, Thailand. The second objective is to examine the degree of industrial
impacts judged by stakeholders, and to investigate stakeholder’s fundamental understanding of risk-related
judgment. The last objective is to discuss how risks judged by stakeholders are related to the current
environmental situations. Field observations and in-depth interviews with 27 persons belonging to five
parties such as lay people, public authorities, public health sector, academia and NGOs were conducted. The
survey results illustrated that stakeholders have different fundamental understandings of risk-related
judgment. The results of risk assessment done by lay people, NGOs, and university are similar to the result
of quantitative risk assessment. The study suggests that a qualitative understanding of stakeholder’s
qualitative risk assessment could play an important role in improving risk communication and developing a
sustainable environmental risk management.},
