Abstract

Abstract: The analysis of risk perception in urban areas in a very important work, since with it you can focus directly on risk reduction in the face of threats and decision-making within the direct participation of the population in conjunction with the authorities in charge of managing and mitigating environmental risks. The analysis of the perception of risks also allows us to determine the response capacity of the population in the event of an environmental event or disaster and the consequences that these bring. For this perception analysis, techniques, tools and methodologies were used in order to study the most recurrent threats in the Calderón Zonal Administration. The objective of this work is to visualize the perception that the population has regarding the threats of environmental factors in the study area.
