Diagnóstico de vulnerabilidades y capacidades en Nueva Prosperina desde la realidad socioeconómica de la comunidad, ante amenazas de deslizamientos e inundaciones

Abstract

In the Nueva Prosperina cooperative according to participants of surveys, interviews and focus groups generally people do not generate change processes for prevention, rather it is always an incident that motivates them to organize, and find solutions to events that have happened, but very rarely prevent them. This study aims to diagnose the socioeconomic vulnerabilities and capacities of families living in areas at risk from landslides and flooding in New Prosperina cooperative, in order to make recommendations for the implementation of social enterprise with community based aimed at reducing risk. The study also contributes to the validation of a methodology for analysis of vulnerabilities and capacities of households against the risk of landslides and flooding in micro communities, which began in 2012 with the study of the Cerro El Jordan located in Bastion Popular in Guayaquil.
