Resumen
La gestión de riesgos es un eje transversal de planificación y ordenamiento territorial, por tal razón el Ecuador marcó un hito en el 2008, cuando incluyó la gestión de riesgos en su Constitución. (Secretaría de Gestión de Riesgos, 2014). La movilidad humana dentro del Ecuador está presente desde hace más de 5 décadas, cuya migración del campo a la ciudad representó una expansión significativa para las grandes ciudades del país, especialmente para Guayaquil. Dicha población dejó sus jornadas de agricultura y ganadería para trabajar en actividades relacionadas a los puertos pesqueros, producción industrial y comercio. En el norte de Guayaquil, Monte Sinaí ha sido escogido por centenares de migrantes de diferentes partes del país y, su sector Voluntad de Dios 1 ha recibido a familias que buscan mejores oportunidades de vida. La baja aplicación de leyes, mal uso de suelo y las necesidades de vivienda propia no permiten a la comunidad conocer los lugares más adecuados para establecer nuevos asentamientos humanos, por lo que se ubican en sectores sin servicios básicos, generalmente cercanos a las instalaciones industriales de las grandes ciudades, en busca de plazas de trabajo, en laderas y depresiones, cuya cobertura vegetal ha sido destruida, los riesgos en esas nuevas comunidades, como Voluntad de Dios 1, aumentan considerablemente. (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos - INEC, 2015). El presente documento propone un método para aumentar la participación comunitaria en el proceso de formación comunitaria sobre gestión de riesgos para evitar o disminuir las afectaciones de posibles eventos adversos de origen natural o antrópico.
Risk management is a cross-cutting axis on the planning and ordering of a territory, with this in consideration, Ecuador marked an important milestone on 2008, when risk management was included on our Constitution. (Risk Management Secretary, 2014). Human mobility in Ecuador has been witnessed for over 5 decades now, starting with the migration from the country to the city, which represented a significative expansion on population for the bigger cities of our nation, especially in Guayaquil. The group of people coming from the countryside left their common set of activities such as farming and cattle raising and exchange them for trading, industrial production and fishing tasks. In the north of Guayaquil, Monte Sinaí neighboorhood has been chosen by hundreds of inmigrants from different sides of the country and Voluntad de Dios 1, one of its specific areas, has received numerous families looking for better oportunities and a new life. Sadly, the poor attention given to the implementation and enforcement of the law, the misuse of the soil, and the urging need of own housing do not allow the community to know the most suitable places to develop new human settlements, therefore they end up locating in areas with no vital services, generally near industrial facilities in big cities, given their proximity to working positions, or sloping hills and dangerous valleys, with no vegetation coverage, this is the case of the inhabitants of several new communities such as Voluntad de Dios 1, where the risks are constantly and considerably increasing. (INEC, National Statistics Institute, 2015). This document holds a proposal explaining a method that would increase the participation of the community members in their formation process on risk management in order to avoid and decrease the possible negative consequences and adverse events on this areas whether it is by natural or anthropic causes.
