Abstract
En este trabajo se reflexiona sobre la triada vulnerabilidad-desastres-desarrollo y se presenta un estudio de caso en el municipio de Celestún, Yucatán, sobre percepciones sociales acerca de la vulnerabilidad de la población frente a las amenazas de eventos meteorológicos extremos. Se pretende conocer las opiniones de la población respecto de su acceso a la capacitación sobre cómo enfrentar los huracanes, su capacidad para protegerse de dichas amenazas y su evaluación de la gestión de las autoridades locales en la materia. Social and environmental constraints of the risks, responses to disasters, as well as the nature of the relationship between disaster and development have been the subject of increasing attention from researchers in the social sciences. That’s because the risks of disasters have become a growing threat by climate change. In this work we reflect over the triad vulnerability-disaster-development and present a case study in the municipality of Celestún, Yucatán, on social perceptions about the vulnerability against extreme weather events. We expected to know the views of the population regarding hurricanes, their access to the training and to evaluation of local authorities’ management.
