Eight components were identified; physical, social, personal, crowd characteristics, crowd dynamics, crowd behaviour, location, and psychological. Ninety-two questions in a risk assessment questionnaire provide the data for scores on 42 themes, leading to scores on the eight components in terms of contribution to crowd stress and finally as single index value ranging from ‘no crowd stress’ to ‘extremely high crowd stress’.
