Irregularity and Risk Management: Valle de Chalco in the 21st Century

This article is centered on the management – if that is, indeed, the correct term – of risk in Valle de Chalco. Key moments here include the floods of 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2016, as well as, in a more marginal sense, the 2017 earthquakes. This management implies a basic problem to be addressed, and s...

This management implies a basic problem to be addressed, and so we must question the origins of the physical and social vulnerability of Valle de Chalco and examine the social capital it has available to address the disasters that follow these events. Understanding the correlation between physical and social vulnerability allows us to make a contribution to the ongoing conceptualization of disasters and to demystify the idea that natural phenomena in themselves are the cause of disasters. This study of Valle de Chalco confirms the hypothesis that disasters are constructed as a sociohistorical phenomenon and that nature cannot be held wholly responsible.Este artículo se centra en una historia sobre la gestión –si así se le puede llamar– del riesgo en Valle de Chalco. Aquí retomamos algunos momentos claves como las inundaciones de 2000, 2005, 2010, 2016 y, de manera marginal, los fuertes sismos de 2017. Esta gestión implica una problemática básica a tratar, razón por la que nos cuestionamos de dónde viene la vulnerabilidad física y social del Valle de Chalco y cuál ha sido su capital social para enfrentar los desastres subsecuentes de esos dos tipos de eventos. Entender la correlación entre la vulnerabilidad física y social nos llevará a contribuir a la conceptualización de los desastres, que con anterioridad se ha trabajado y además a desmitificar la idea de que los eventos naturales son en sí mismos los causantes de los desastres. Lo que se verifica con el estudio en el Valle de Chalco es la hipótesis de que los desastres se construyen como un fenómeno sociohistórico, de tal manera que no se responsabilice únicamente a la Naturaleza.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2020-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/aca/article/view/7667710.22201/fa.2007252Xp.2020.21.76677Academia XXII; Vol. 11 No. 21 (2020): Riesgos y vulnerabilidad; 131-148Academia XXII; Vol. 11 Núm. 21 (2020): Riesgos y vulnerabilidad; 131-1482594-083X2007-252X10.22201/fa.2007252Xp.2020.21reponame:Academia XXIIinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/aca/article/view/76677/67906Derechos de autor 2020 Academia XXIIinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/766772024-11-08T21:43:25Z
