Abstract
OJEDA-ERASO, Nasly Anabel; JURADO-ROMERO, Natalia and OJEDA-ROSERO, Elizabeth. Social representations in an educative community located at High Hazard Zone of Galeras volcano (Colombia). bol.geol. [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.3, pp.195-210. ISSN 0120-0283. https://doi.org/10.18273/revbol.v40n3-2018009.
Based on research processes, it was possible to understand the social representations related to the Galeras volcano in relation to its organization and its functions. The qualitative methodology returned items of ethnography and symbolic interactionism, from participant observation, interviews, questionnaires and workshops, developed with several actors such as teachers, parents and students, while the results were validated through their continuous participation in the research. It was concluded that social representations related to the Galeras volcano show a psycho-socio-cultural perspective of the phenomenon, understanding from the dialectic between the popular and the scientific knowledge, which have important functions of identity and orientation among the members of the community.
