Abstract:
This field note examines the disaster risk construction process in Lima, Peru. More commonly experienced hazard contexts are considered in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide an empirical analysis based on Lima-wide data and using findings from a single case study settlement to illustrate more general conclusions. We attempt to reveal how exposure and vulnerability factors signify that very different hazards, including COVID-19, predominantly affect the same population groups. Underlying causes and drivers, all related to different expressions of urban inequality, include problems of access to suitable urban land, land trafficking and invasion, State exclusion from social housing and basic services, unsafe building practice and corruption. The research confirms the usefulness of a social construction approach to disaster risk, based on the notion of underlying causes and drivers, and the need to reconfigure urban planning processes, breaking sector silos and encouraging integrated intersectoral and interspatial approaches.
摘要:
本现场说明审查了利马的灾害风险建设过程,秘鲁。根据COVID-19大流行,考虑了更常见的危险环境。我们提供了基于利马范围内数据的实证分析,并使用单个案例研究解决的结果来说明更一般的结论。我们试图揭示暴露和脆弱性因素如何意味着非常不同的危险,包括COVID-19,主要影响相同的人群。潜在原因和驱动因素,所有这些都与城市不平等的不同表达有关,包括获得合适的城市土地的问题,土地贩运和入侵,国家被排除在社会住房和基本服务之外,不安全的建筑实践和腐败。研究证实了灾害风险社会建构方法的有用性,基于根本原因和驱动因素的概念,以及重新配置城市规划过程的需要,打破部门孤岛,鼓励跨部门和跨空间的综合方法。
