Socio-cultural patterns associated to housing construction techniques and its effects in seismic vulnerability: a case study in the locality Puerto Momotombo, Municipality of La Paz Centro, Department of Leon, Nicaragua, 2017

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 repercus...

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.       En este trabajo se exploran los patrones socioculturales que inciden en las prácticas constructivas residenciales en territorios con alta vulnerabilidad sísmica. A partir de un análisis que incluyó la recolección de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos, se identificaron las causas, naturaleza y repercusiones de estos patrones en la localidad Puerto Momotombo luego del sismo ocurrido en 2016. Apoyada en la teoría de la percepción social del riesgo, en esta investigación se argumenta que los diversos códigos, significados y formas de cons- truir, así como de concebir el riesgo, se han traducido en prácticas constructivas deficientes que han generado una situación de vulnerabilidad acumulada en la localidad . Este trabajo constituye una apuesta por una nueva forma de abordar el estudio de riesgos. Se fundamenta en un modelo de evaluación que toma como referencia central las condiciones socioeconómicas y culturales de la población residente, y remarca la importancia de considerar las formas en que socialmente se construye el riesgo.
