Vulnerability and natural disasters risk management in piura, Peru
Main Article Content
Abstract
Climate change brings big challenges that in one way or the other affect the sustainable development of life on earth. Not only regarding the increase in the earth's temperatures, that according to specialized prediction will lead to the disappearance of tropical glaciers with temperatures up to 48° in tropics, but also the impact of those increments such as torrential rains, desertification, flooding, loss of crops, an increase in diseases, scarcity of sweet water, etc. This study has as its main objective to identify the urban environmental vulnerabilities of some Peruvian cities, taking as a case the city of Piura, which has been recurrently suffering the devastating effects of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) like flooding, interruption of communication routes, and other phenomena affecting the life quality of its inhabitants. The methodology employed in this work is analytical-deductive and it is based on a wide bibliography and terrain observations. As a global result, this study found a scarcity of resilience and recovery strategies in favour of the more vulnerable populations regarding the impacts of climate change.
