Desarrollo Territorial bajo Sequía y Cenizas

Abstract

Las capacidades materiales y simbólicas de las poblaciones para hacer frente a situaciones socioambientales catastróficas o de crisis o extremas, se perciben y valoran culturalmente, quedando expresadas en el modo de integrar el riesgo o la anomalía en su adaptación, es decir, en su modo de desarrollo. Desde la teoría del riesgo esto se define como vulnerabilidad social, mientras que desde la gestión pública del desarrollo social, la vulnerabilidad quedaría definida con relación a las capacidades de las poblaciones para mejorar sus condiciones de reproducción social y económica en la normalidad, y bajo situaciones de excepción como frente a amenazas físico-naturales o socioeconómicas. Aquí nos proponemos explorar la correlación entre la situación vulnerable de la población de la estepa patagónica en la provincia de Río Negro, bajo la presión de eventos extremos como la sequía y la caída de cenizas volcánicas, y los proyectos gubernamentales que se aplican en el área, sin incorporar un enfoque que atienda la complejidad ambiental.Palabras claves: Estepa Patagónica.

From the theory of risk which is defined as social vulnerability, while from the public management of social development, the vulnerability would be defined in relation to the capacity of the people to improve their social and economic reproduction in normal situations and under exception as against physical-natural or socio-economic threats. Here we propose to explore the correlation between the vulnerability of the population of the steppe in the province of Río Negro, under the pressure of extreme events such as drought and volcanic ash fall, and government projects that apply in the area without incorporating an approach that addresses environmental complexity.Keywords: Patagonian Steppe.

Integrative Post-event Impact Assessment Framework for Volcanic Eruptions: A Disaster Forensic Investigation of the 2011–2012 Eruption of the Cordón Caulle Volcano (Chile)

“…Indeed, cooperatives are key organisations in the social economy of Argentina, where people associate with their own resources to organize and provide services (e.g., electricity supply, livestock trade) (Rofman, 2010). In particular, cooperatives were fundamental in the coordination of actions in the affected communities during and after the CC volcanic crisis (Murgida et al, 2016). The complete lists of all impact data resources and interviewees are available in the Supplementary Tables S1,S2.…”

“…The most relevant aspects resulting from this analysis in SCB involved the role of cooperatives, the importance of accessibility to the damaged components, the nature of water source, the preparedness of the community and the importance of being informed. Cooperatives are crucial socio-economic organisations in Argentina that provide services to the communities with solidarity principles (Rofman, 2010;Murgida et al, 2016). In the case of SCB, the Cooperative of Electricity of Bariloche manages the power supply, telecommunications, wastewater treatment and sewerage system.…”
