LEY GARCIA, Judith; DENEGRI DE DIOS, Fabiola Maribel  y  SANCHEZ CONTRERAS, Guadalupe. Peligros constantes y cambiantes en la percepción social del paisaje de amenazas en la ciudad de Mexicali. Región y sociedad [online]. 2016, vol.28, n.66, pp.269-294. ISSN 2448-4849.

The article explores the changes in the social perception of hazardscape in the city of Mexicali, México in 2006 and 2011. This is done by comparing the number and type of hazards that residents reported in two local surveys. This exercise allowed classifying the hazards in "constant" and "changing" in social perception and, by observing their physical manifestation in the urban space, to identify patterns of social invisibility that deserves consideration in strategies for disaster prevention.
