Promoting the local development of disaster-affected communities

In this paper, we formulate a theoretical analysis to propose that the so-called “natural” disasters are in fact a social phenomena. Each phase of a disaster is analyzed so as to reveal the generation of social relationships and thus support this way to understanding them. As a consequence of this c...

Each phase of a disaster is analyzed so as to reveal the generation of social relationships and thus support this way to understanding them. As a consequence of this conceptualization, it is possible to see that policy responses to disasters do not only have to focus on reconstruction, but should include instruments that promote the development conditions of stricken areas. In line with this integral perspective to address disasters is the local development approach. The analysis of the latter provides five dimensions from which it is possible to contribute to the improvement of disaster-affected localities. En este artículo formularemos un análisis conceptual para proponer que los desastres usualmente conocidos como “naturales” son fenómenos sociales. Revisaremos cada fase de un desastre para descubrir las relaciones sociales que allí se generan y nos permiten fundamentar esta forma de comprenderlos. Como consecuencia de esta conceptualización, veremos que las políticas de respuesta a desastres no solo tienen que centrarse en la reconstrucción, sino que deben contemplar mecanismos para potenciar las condiciones de desarrollo de las zonas afectadas. En sintonía con esta perspectiva integral de abordaje de los desastres, se encuentra el enfoque de desarrollo local. Mediante su revisión, hallaremos que son cinco las dimensiones a través de las cuales se puede aportar al desarrollo de las localidades afectadas por desastres.
