Resumo:This paper explores a series of socio-cultural patterns associated with housing construction in territories with high levels of seismic risk. By employing a methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative data collection, this research identified these patterns’ causes, nature, and repercussions in the locality Puerto Momotombo after the earthquake in 2016. Informed by the theory on social construction of risk, it argues that diverse codes, set of meanings and ways held by inhabitants in the construction process have sustained deficient techniques resulting in a setting in which vulnerability has accumulated. Furthermore, this paper advocates for a new form in understanding risk studies. It is rooted in an assessment model in which socioeconomic and cultural conditions held by residents are at the core of the analysis. It also stresses the importance of considering the socially constructed ways in which risk comes into being.
