RIVERA FLOREZ, Luis Alejandro et al. Community risk management. Spatial and environmental justice. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.3, pp.205-218. Epub 07-Dic-2020. ISSN 0124-7913. https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v30n3.87769.
A successful community risk management experience is presented as part of neighborhood social construction, avoiding the conflict generated by the application of normative guidelines for the territorial ordering of Medellín (Colombia), and the adverse geomorphological conditions of a hillside context. For this, an action research methodology was applied, structured from participatory popular education scenarios with a neighborhood community: El Pacífico, located in the upper part of Comuna 8, on the northeast slope of Medellín. Based on this proposal, a community risk management and disaster prevention plan was formulated, contemplating the identification of socio-territorial threats, risk reduction measures, and a programmatic component. Taking these results as a reference, we discuss the implications of community risk management and its ability to reduce the gap in socio-spatial inequities. In conclusion, community disaster risk management, combined with popular education practices and interaction between academia, the community, social organizations, and government institutions, can serve as a key practice for the realization of spatial and environmental justice in the city of Medellín.
