Para este fin, el uso de Sistemas de Información Geográfica SIG ha probado ser una herramienta importante tanto para la planificación urbana como para la gestión de riesgos; sin embargo, estos esfuerzos han sido insuficientes por los limitados recursos para hacer una recopilación general de los datos y el trabajo se hace mayormente en gabinete y no se involucra a la población local. Por tanto, se propone una metodología integral que involucre la participación de la población como insumo esencial para la evaluación de riesgo de desastre más integral y eficiente.Fondo Interno 2016Trabajo de investigació

The way of living in the Colca Valley and the common property of the inhabitants are made up of two fundamental elements: the typical Andean house and the pre-Hispanic agricultural terraces.

For this reason, this research explores the values of material and immaterial heritage in the Colca Valley, and how vulnerable Andean populations could develop a model of co-production of risk management that seeks to increase resilience while preserving their identity. For this purpose, participatory workshops were developed in 3 towns, Achoma, Maca, and Cabanaconde, which included the participation of residents, university students, representatives of local governments, and institutions.

El enfoque se dirige a una idea de renovación urbana comprometida con las zonas periféricas que presentan condiciones de alto riesgo y de crecimiento desregulado, de espaldas a los derroteros y metodologías convencionales de la planeación y el ordenamiento territorial. Zonas que, marcadas por situaciones de fragmentación y de precariedad física y social, inciden negativamente en las condiciones de habitabilidad, gobernabilidad, productividad y conectividad de la ciudad. El caso peruano ofrece una metodología que integra las nociones de catálisis urbana, construcción social del hábitat y diseño participativo. El caso colombiano propone un instrumento de planificación que, desde la definición de criterios de renovación urbana en entorn...

Rain that falls on the eastern side of the mountain drains through the city in ephemeral stream channels as destructive flash floods. Although annual precipitation within the city ranges from 100-150 mm on average, torrential flows occur during the rainy season through the channels that extend from their source on the mountain where rainfall is higher (Figure 1). These channels or ravines are known locally as "torrenteras," signifying not only their channel shape but also the torrential flows that occur in these channels after intense rainfall. Six major torrenteras flow through the lower elevations of the mountainside, where residential development is increasing, and into the core of the city. Local names of each torrentera will be used throughout this paper (Figure 1), though common names may change further downstream. Flash floods in the torrenteras of Arequipa have had devastating effects on the city's population throughout its history. Nine events that caused severe damage occurring from 1961 to 2011 were summarized by Martelli (2011) from government and other records. An exceptional flood occurred

Over the past 20 years, international university-led water research partnerships have been growing in number, including between the U.S. and countries in the Global South. While there are several examples of guidelines and best practices for executing collaborations, none focus on this type of partnership. Additionally, many international collaborations are formed between universities that have little previous experience in developing these types of partnerships. Often, critiques of partnerships happen after initiation and point to structural barriers and best practices for future collaborations, but few offer practical guidance on overcoming obstacles early on, amid an imperfect partnership. In this paper, we created a flexible collaboration framework which can be used as an evaluative tool. To model this, we conduct...

On the other hand, it has had a remarkable historical and cultural importance as a major junction for land and water traffic to and from Kyoto but also as a major provider of fish and rice to the ancient capital. In water management, modernization has meant mostly three things. First, land reclamation that led to the disappearance of most satellite lakes and reed fields that acted as buffer zones and cleaning mechanism for wastewaters running in from the irrigation channels of the paddy fields. Second, the control of water level in the lake that has proved to be detrimental for the numerous endemic fish species that depended on the seasonal swelling of the lake. And third, establishing land transportation, replacing the older water-centred transport routes. All these three questions were closely related to th...

It seeks to explore the possible paths that, for academic reflection, applied research or public policy, could be derived from the reflections that bring together the gaze of numerous researchers fromdifferent countries. In this regard, the work offers a conceptual framework from where it has been addressed the phenomenon, and from which issues such as the community thinking; the socio-spatial conflicts generated by tourism; the relationship between identity and historical memory, as well as between heritage and human rights; tensions and dilemmas about identity and heritage that globalization brings and, finally, the theme that is called at work,"situated thinking”, as a condition when studying and understanding what in front of the subject it happens in every context. Approach fro...

This research takes as a case study the city of Arequipa, Peru to, firstly, understand the gap between the environmental education provided nationwide by the Ministry of Education and the lack of awareness of local problems by university students. Secondly, to analyze the methodological framework for the development of the Environmental Atlas of Arequipa, as an educational tool to fill-up that gap. Finally, a strategy for the use of the atlas a massive urban-environmental education tool in Arequipa will be proposed.

have developed over the centuries a rich heritage, based
on their social, economic, and cultural relationships and
their extraordinary coexistence with the surrounding
landscape. The way of living in the Colca Valley and
the common property of the inhabitants are made up of
two fundamental elements: the typical Andean house and
the pre-Hispanic agricultural terraces. However, both
urban and agricultural heritage have been affected by
seismic activity caused by the eruption of the Sabancaya
volcano. In addition to this, tradition and heritage are
under threat by the enforcement of globalized political
decisions, carried out from the country's capital, which
are unaware of the cultural and anthropological values of
these populations that have inhabited this landscape for
thousands of years. For this reason, this research explores
the values of material and immaterial heritage in the
Colca Valley, and how vulnerable Andean populations
could develop a model of co-production of risk management that seeks to increase resilience while preserving
their identity. For this purpose, participatory workshops
were developed in 3 towns, Achoma, Maca, and
Cabanaconde, which included the participation of residents, university students, representatives of local governments, and institutions.

Seventy topics are covered in these texts to display an array of ideas that can be derived from inhabiting. From them, and through a not necessarily linear reading, it is intended to articulate a discourse that highlights the poetic as an inevitable result of habitual human practices within the architectural space.
