El desarrollo es un modelo generador de condiciones de riesgo de desastres

Abstract

Disaster risk is a social construction, resulting from the interaction between economic, social, and cultural practices within a geographic space. From this standpoint, development can be defined as a model of risk-condition generation, and, likewise, as a model that reproduces social vulnerability conditions related to poverty. Basing on the developmentpoverty and development-vulnerability relationships, the intent of this article is to propose a conversation about the risk management dependency of development, emphasizing on the contradiction that emerges when its practices’ priorities are torn between reducing poverty and risk at the same time.
