A weighting factor proposed in this paper is a product of a re-reference duction factor (N i /T i ) and a relative significance factor (f i ). A politically determined critical impact (T i /f i ) is assumed to cause a critical damage defined as a level of damage acceptable to a society. A graph showing the relationship between relative dam-CI age and normalized impact indicates that the weighting factor ((N i /T i ) f i ) is the slope of this graph. It shows further that the relative damage is the same as the weighted impact. | | Keywords: critical impact; damage; reduction factor; relative damage; relative significance factor; weighting |
