Dr. Jozef Ristvej gained his Ph.D. in 2007 at the University of Zilina, SVK - EU, in Crisis Management. Since that time he received postdoctoral position as the Assistant Professor and in 2014 he has received position as Associate Professor and in 2019 Full Professorship at the Department of Crisis Management, Faculty of Security Engineering, University of Zilina. Since October 2014 is at the position of Vice-Rector for International Relations and Marketing at the university. In 2007 he participated in ISCRAM Crisis Management Summer School for Ph.D. students, in Tilburg, NL. In 2010 received the visiting scholar grant of Ruth Crawford Mitchell to the Center for Disaster Management at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh, USA. In his work he is focusing on supporting the information systems in the area of the decision making process in crisis management. In 2012 was member of ISCRAM 2012 Conference organizing committee, Vancouver, Canada. He is an active member of the ISCRAM Association (Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management).Scopus ID: 39962519800ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2290-1470WoS ID: B-7917-2011Publons: https://publons.com/researcher/2807353/jozef-ristvej/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=nVkZc9QAAAAJ

The possibility of involving the general public to DRM implementation is, currently, a frequently discussed topic. In particular, population preparedness for the involvement of the public is questionable and, therefore, the understanding of the conditions that facilitate public preparedness for disasters is decisive. This article presents the results of research that investigates the factors affecting (1) the objective preparedness of the population, as well as (2) the subjective perception of our preparedness for disasters. The statistical analysis discovered that both sides of the public’s preparedness depended especially on their experience with disasters, the awareness of the possible risks and appropriate procedures to solve situations, and the economic potential of the households. The results empha...

The article sets out the theoretical and practical aspects of the lean enterprise. The concept of Lean Production and its main goals are considered. The classical characteristic of the Lean Production concept to the main types of losses is highlighted. The concept of Lean Logistics is proposed as a Lean Production tool. The content of the concept of Lean Logistics is disclosed. The main reasons leading to the occurrence of logistic losses are considered. The analysis of basic tools and methods that can be applied in Lean Logistics. The possibilities of obtaining benefits from Lean Production tools, when applied in a logistics strategy, are considered. Lean Production methods used in logistics are proposed. The economic benefits of implementing Lean Logistics tools are presented. Recommendations for further research are provided.

Many cities in the world are already transforming their ways to be more efficient, greener and also safer. According to our studies, field of safety receives less focus in development strategies than other fields of smart development. However, to create a real Smart City, it is needed to understand the city as a complex environment, with their smart and safe concepts as interconnected parts. This paper deals with interconnected Smart City and Safe City concepts and it presents systems, that are common to both, equal concepts. Systems are divided into layers and features, needed in every system, are further summarized. Number of studied and compared works, dealing with respective systems from various points of view, our own experiences and communication with executives, responsible for smart development of Tampere city resulted in definitions, describing bo...

In the first part of this paper we point out the short description of the phases and the possible use of GIS within these phases and in simulations within crisis management. In the second part we introduce the GIS in the Slovak Republic with focuses on use in crisis management. The third part is giving possibilities of the interconnections among simulation technologies and GIS within crisis management with a focus on the newly built Laboratory of Modelling and Simulation of Crisis Phenomena in Transport and in different environments. Within conclusions we would like to point out the possibilities for further discussions and directions within this interesting and important topic.
