Abstract

Risk management in urban projects is a complex task whose complexity depends on the size of the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of the urban project. Urban projects in the current market and business conditions are exposed to crisis at any time. The environment of urban projects is very variable and the conditions of uncertainty are many, and these conditions become more difficult for larger urban projects. Undoubtedly, proper management of these risks is a prerequisite for facilitating the crisis conditions of urban projects, and the need to access and expand the related sciences is quite obvious. This article examines the effect of variables such as age and occupation on risk-taking in urban project management, analyzes the relevant principles and challenges, and by conducting a study on the workforce in Shiraz Municipality, examines each Which of the independent variables of age and occupation dealt with risk-taking and its factors and finally led to the conclusion that none of the independent variables of gender, age, level of education and occupation had a statistically significant effect on risk-taking and its factors.
