Abstract

The work contains an attempt to change the traditional approach to understanding of the notion «risk» – from probabilistic methods of its evaluation to event ones that have gained long ago a position in research and applied media by investigating and being applied in various spheres of activity from business and economics to social and industrial spheres. An event approach was suggested as the basic method, in which a chain of events in their time dependence, cause-and-effect relations that change with time from anticipated to real and also to an entropic approach ensuring the concept filling the notion of risk with information regarding reliability and presumption of anticipated events in time span infinitely close to real time. Investigated was the term synonymic filling and its semantic and functional senses, singled out were single properties of its synonyms and functions, as well the subject-object component of the most widely found descriptions of the original term. Represented was the functional model of the process of risk formation in event-logical system of time, information, energy. The article contains the results of investigation of experts’ evaluations of different interpretations of the term «risk» in comparison with their consumer’s priorities in the aforementioned coordinates system. It is argued that the designated formulation of the term «risk» in the parameters: time, event, entropy, as a paradigm of human responsibility for the processes and results of his activity, meets the needs of society for a certain level of safety, and consists of one of the main foundations of its own existence as a biological species. The final result of the work is the proposed definition of the term «risk», based on such properties like binary character, anticipation, dichromic character, uncertainty and vectorial character in «time-information-entropy» coordinates, which comprise jointly the base of possible risks in their time interpretation for a particular system
