“…It will also encourage building partnerships with local governments and other stakeholders, to enable the negotiation of priorities, public investment and aid (Mitchell et al 2012). In addition, it will help with the implementation of measures that not only reduce the risk of disasters, but provide additional benefits such as improvements in local infrastructure and services (Maskrey 1989(Maskrey , 2011Satterthwaite 2011). In conclusion, people should be invited and encouraged to participate in the formulation, design and implementation of local public policies that incorporate management and risk reduction.…”

In the province of Concepción (Chile), floods are considered one of the main natural hazards. One of the most important cities of this area is Talcahuano. During the last years, Talcahuano has been affected by a number of flood episodes, as a consequence of an increase in the frequency of extraordinary atmospheric events, along with a higher exposure to the flood risk caused by an intense urban development. On 27 February 2010, an 8.8°earthquake (Richter scale) occurred in central southern Chile and originated the tsunami which flooded a large percentage of the residential area and military base of the Talcahuano city. This flood event affected a population higher than 180,000 people (including 23 casualties and invaluable economic and environmental losses). The objective of this study is to investigate the social perception and knowledge of Talcahuano residents affected by different types of flood, including tsunami, emphasizing which are their risks, vulnerability, resilience and coping capacity concepts. In addition, the kind of measures that have been proposed to improve their capacity to face floods after having suffered the natural disaster will be determined. This social assessment has been carried out based on a survey to permanent residents. Research results reveal that their endogenous and exogenous characteristics have resulted determinant to explain their perception.

“…A su vez es esencial reconocer que existen límites a la gestión local de riesgos y a lo que comunidades y gobiernos locales pueden lograr por si solos, ya que muchos de los factores subyacentes de riesgo son el resultado de procesos regionales, nacionales y/o globales que escapan a las posibilidades de intervención local (Maskrey, 2011).…”

“…Programs based on CBDRM have been used extensively worldwide (Maskrey, 2011), mainly to improve emergency-response capabilities, urban planning, and disaster prevention (Chen et al 2006;Vilela & Fernández de Córdova, 2013) as well as to facilitate post-disaster reconstruction processes (Rivera, 2010;Velásquez et al 2016). For instance, participatory multi-sectoral partnership and community engagement has also been deployed by a grassroots parents group in Berkeley, California (USA) as part of a process to retrofit a local school (Chakos, 2004).…”

The provision of education is a vital feature of a socially sustainable system. However, students in highly seismic areas are under permanent hazard, a critical situation for student populations with high vulnerability factors such as insecure infrastructure, low teacher salaries, and poor living conditions due to social exclusion and inequity. In this article, we use community-based elements, such as institutional arrangements and a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, to develop a comprehensive multi-scale risk model for socially sustainable seismic risk reduction in schools. We analyze the case of schools in the city of Lima, Peru, integrating aims, objectives, and methodologies based on risk-reduction strategy from previous disciplinary studies. Identifying schools that, on one hand, can be most useful during emergencyrelief work and, on the other hand, educational facilities that could cause the most harm to students are priorities for a risk-reduction strategy. We identify social sustainability factors in schools, such as security and well-being of the student population, accessibility, incomes, basic service provision, and community organization. Specifying the spatial and territorial relationships within public school surroundings is essential to guaranteeing the effectiveness and efficiency of risk-mitigation strategies.
