ALFIE-COHEN, Miriam; GARCIA-BECERRA, Flor Yunuen; SALINAS-TOLEDANO, Mario Alberto  and  REYES-PEREZ, Javier. Socio-hydrological vulnerability and adaptive capacity in Cuajimalpa municipality, Mexico City. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.70, pp.865-892.  Epub Nov 14, 2022.

Mexico City (CDMX) is facing socio-hydrological vulnerability (SHV) due to its increasing water scarcity. This study assesses the SHV of CDMX’s Cuajimalpa municipality, through space dynamics and territorial particularities. Material, environmental and social conditions are included in the evaluation of SHV through two parameters:, water stress and adaptive capacity. These parameters were determined through a mixed interdisciplinary methodology, which included: the Analytic Hierarchy Process Method, application of a multiple-choice survey, and georeferencing the results. In this work, we identify a moderate SHV in the municipality, along with adverse conditions that may produce greater vulnerability in coming years.

Keywords : space; water stress; adaptive capacity; socio-hydrological vulnerability.
