Different approaches derived from natural, applied and social sciences have not yet prepared a solid and consistent theory of risk, thus hampering an effective management that facilitates the estimation and intervention of risk from a multidisciplinary perspective. Likewise, risk cannot be seen only from an objective point of view when it comes to reducing its impact given the different interpretations and perspectives of different social actors. Social perception of risk is one of the relevant factors in the natural risks field, since it incorporates these subjectivities, thus finding more realistic solutions in case of disaster.This paper evaluates this component in the case of La Serena, located in the Coquimbo Region, through its relation with socioeconomic level, self-protection factors and self-management capacity in the face of a tsunami hazard caused by seismic activity in a country like Chile, regarded as the most seismically active place in the world due to its location in the subduction and sliding zone between the Nazca and South American Plates.It is observed a clear segregation of socioeconomic strata in the districts of La Compañía Alta and Intendencia, the most vulnerable areas. The results of this research indicate that risk perception is related to social aspects, thus verifying the social nature of risk. Así como la concepción del riesgo y su terminología han variado en el tiempo, la perspectiva disciplinar de su abordaje también ha cambiado. Enfoques derivados de las ciencias naturales, aplicadas y sociales no permiten aún generar una teoría consistente y coherente del riesgo, dificultando una gestión efectiva que facilite su estimación e intervención desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar. Asimismo, el riesgo no puede considerarse solamente de forma objetiva cuando se busca su reducción dada las múltiples interpretaciones y perspectivas de los distintos actores sociales que confluyen. La percepción social del riesgo se presenta como uno de los factores relevantes en el ámbito de los riesgos naturales, pues permite incorporar estas subjetividades pudiendo encontrar soluciones más realistas a los desastres. El presente trabajo evalúa esta componente para la ciudad de La Serena, IV Región de Coquimbo, mediante su relación con el nivel socioeconómico, factores de autoprotección y capacidad de autogestión, respecto de la amenaza de tsunami propiciada por la sismicidad en un país como Chile, considerado mundialmente el más sísmico del mundo, al ubicarse en la zona de subducción y deslizamiento de las Placas de Nazca y Sudamericana. Se observa una clara segregación de los estratos socioeconómicos, en los distritos La Compañía Alta e Intendencia, encontrando zonas con mayor vulnerabilidad. Los resultados indican que la percepción de riesgo está relacionada con aspectos sociales, corroborando entonces el carácter social que posee el riesgo.

description	The conception of risk and its terminology, as well as its disciplinary approach, have changed over time. Different approaches derived from natural, applied and social sciences have not yet prepared a solid and consistent theory of risk, thus hampering an effective management that facilitates the estimation and intervention of risk from a multidisciplinary perspective. Likewise, risk cannot be seen only from an objective point of view when it comes to reducing its impact given the different interpretations and perspectives of different social actors. Social perception of risk is one of the relevant factors in the natural risks field, since it incorporates these subjectivities, thus finding more realistic solutions in case of disaster.This paper evaluates this component in the case of La Serena, located in the Coquimbo Region, through its relation with socioeconomic level, self-protection factors and self-management capacity in the face of a tsunami hazard caused by seismic activity in a country like Chile, regarded as the most seismically active place in the world due to its location in the subduction and sliding zone between the Nazca and South American Plates.It is observed a clear segregation of socioeconomic strata in the districts of La Compañía Alta and Intendencia, the most vulnerable areas.
