A Train-the-Trainer Approach to Build Community Resilience to the Health Impacts of Climate Change in the Dominican Republic
Communities in the Dominican Republic (DR) face increased natural disasters, poor air quality, food insecurity, and health impacts related to climate change. We evaluated the success of a train-the-trainer program to empower community leaders, women, and at-risk youth with the knowledge and skills to increase individual and community resilience in Cristo Rey, Dominican Republic. Three in-person two-day courses were conducted between July and Augu…
Positioning blue justice at local scales
Since its introduction in 2018, the term blue justice has gained considerable traction. However, significant gaps and inconsistencies in the emerging literature remain. To address these issues, we have developed a collective framework that aims to contribute to and expand transdisciplinary blue justice research. As part of this framework, a transformative and participatory research design has been co-produced and applied in the Gulf of Arauco in …
Universidades por el territorio
Universidades por el territorio-acción colaborativa (UES), es un colectivo conformado por académicos y estudiantes de 12 universidades públicas y privadas diferentes regiones del país, que cuentan con carreras de salud, o que fomentan la participación social y la construcción de conocimientos, como la Universidad Abierta de Recoleta. El objetivo es fomentar mecanismos de mejora en la formación de estudiantes, modificando sus mallas curriculares p…
Land cover and potential for tsunami evacuation in rapidly growing urban areas. The case of Boca Sur (San Pedro de la Paz, Chile)
The destructive potential of a massive tsunami is not only related to society's response capacity and evacuation plans, but also to the urban morphology and land cover. The Boca Sur neighborhood is one of the areas in central Chile that is most exposed to tsunamis, and it is framed in the context of increasing urban growth. Faced with the worst tsunami scenario (earthquake Mw = 9.0), residents' evacuation potential is analyzed by using a least-co…
The generation of new tsunami risk areas due to an intentionally biased reconstruction process
Tsunamis are among the most significant hazards in coastal settlements. Mitigation measures have been focused mainly on physical aspects, and few studies have addressed vulnerability and resilience in a multidimensional approach. The main objective of the present work is to assess changes in vulnerability and, consequently, risk, considering a time-space dimension. Three deterministic tsunami scenarios based on historical events were analyzed, an…
A sustainability index for anthropized and urbanized coasts
Urban development versus wetland loss in a coastal Latin American city
Riesgo de tsunami y planificación resiliente de la costa chilena
We assessed the risk of fl ooding due to tsunamis in the Boca Sur neighborhood, located in the Municipality of San Pedro de la Paz (37S), Biobio region. We considered an extreme tsunami scenario generated by an earthquake of magnitude Mw 9.0. The tsunami inundation was obtained by means of the NEOWAVE model with 4 nested grids and detail topo-bathymetry data. The vulnerability analysis considered both physical, socioeconomical and organizational …
Patrones de urbanización en la biodiversidad de humedales urbanos en Concepción metropolitano
La urbanizacin en Concepcin metropolitano (36S) en las ltimas dcadas ha impactado reas de valor ecolgico, tales como humedales y lagunas. Aqu analizamos la perturbacin de parmetros de biodiversidad en seis humedales urbanos, mediante la exploracin y uso de indicadores. Se proponen tres indicadores: naturalidad y riqueza de macrolepidpteros y plantas, los que se evalan mediante modelos de regresin mltiple. Los resultados indican que los humedales …
Factores de vulnerabilidad y reconstrucción posterremoto en tres localidades costeras chilenas
Se analiza la vulnerabilidad asociada al tsunami del 27 de febrero de 2010 en tres localidades costeras de Chile centro sur, afectadas violentamente por este evento. El proceso de reconstrucción que se desarrolla en estas áreas lleva a plantear que se están produciendo nuevas áreas de riesgo favorecidas por este proceso. Se analizan los factores de la vulnerabilidad y su relación con las transformaciones socioterritoriales actuales vinculadas a l…
Riesgo de tsunami en caleta Tubul, Región del Biobío
Se analiza el riesgo de inundacin por tsunami para un evento extremo en la localidad de Tubul (37S), Regin del Biobo. Para el anlisis de peligrosidad se determinaron tres escenarios asociados a los eventos tsunamignicos locales de 1835 y 2010 a los cuales se aplic modelamiento numrico. Se incluy el evento de 1877 para determinar los efectos de un tsunami lejano. Se analiz la vulnerabilidad en sus dimensiones fsica, socioeconmica y educativa. El t…
Application of indicators of hydrologic alterations in the designation of heavily modified water bodies in Spain
Características hidrográficas y sedimentológicas en el estuario del río Aconcagua, Chile Central
Se presentan las caractersticas hidrogrficas del estuario Aconcagua, en Chile Central (32 55' S y 71 30' 30" O), obtenidas en una campaa hidrogrfica realizada en abril de 2001. En este estuario micromareal, se obtuvieron datos de batimetra, salinidad, temperatura, turbidez y sedimentos superficiales. Los resultados indican la presencia de una intrusin salina favorecida por la morfologa del fondo, con tendencia al estado hipersincrnico. Se observ …
Evironmental perceptions, social class and demographic change in Mexico City
This paper describes the interrelationships between migration, environmental degradation and perceptions of the environment, by comparing the responses of middle-income and low-income, both native and in-migrant, households to the worsening environmental conditions in Mexico City. Migration to secondary centres by middle-class households is explained as a response to both increasing economic opportunities in intermediate towns and to negative per…
