RODRIGUEZ ESTEVES, Juan Manuel. Geographic landscape in disaster risk management. Contributions and limitations. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.21, 00034.  Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl102120201290.

The objective is to analyze the contributions of geography to the study of the landscape as a spatial and methodological unit, offering a relatively new approach to disaster risk management. For the study, a focused search was carried out on geography’s contributions to the issue of risk and disasters, as well as to landscape study, eventually an analysis of risk management was done from a landscape perspective. The originality of the study lies in the systematization of landscape approaches applied to risk reduction. The results show that the landscape is a complex spatial and methodological unit, as physical, biological and anthropic factors are involved. Among the conclusions is the role of knowledge of the global landscape as a multidimensional element, which offers a spatial, natural, historical and social perspective of the society-nature relationship. This study is theoretical in nature, so it must be contrasted with empirical or case studies.

Palabras llave : landscape; geography; risk governance; disasters.
