摘要：
Purpose - Demonstrate that hazards are not natural, in the likes of disasters. Design/methodology/approach - Reflection on the role of scale in defining what is a hazard or not. Findings - Hazards directly imply views that are shaped by communities, individuals and our very humanescence (scale, time-span). Research limitations/implications - There is a need to further research the social and human aspects that shape what hazards really are. Originality/value - Although disasters are often recognized as not "natural," such reflection has not started yet on the topic of hazards. This drawing will hopefully be a kick-start to it.
