Abstract

Since the perceptions of communities at risk play a central role in managing future emergencies, contingency plans must consider the appropriate involvement of the perspectives of exposed populations. This article addresses the case of Ensenada (Puerto Varas, Chile), a settlement located in the area of direct influence of the Calbuco and Osorno volcanoes. They respectively rank 2nd and 8th in the list of highest-threat Chilean volcanoes. Here we depict the multiple risk perceptions of the inhabitants of Ensenada and the integration of human perceptions into volcanic emergency management through qualitative research, based on semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. Our results illustrate that Ensenada represents a settlement critically exposed to multiple hazards from both volcanoes, intertwined with a series of social conditions that influence individuals’ self-perception as vulnerable to future eruptions and, simultaneously, as capable of acquiring conditions to strengthen disaster preparedness. Moreover, the locals are eager to participate in future emergency management planning and adopt preventive attitudes at community, household, and individual levels. Based on these results, we highlight the advantages of a better understanding of the causes of perceived risk and its integration into emergency management strategies for future eruptions, in order to visualise how people make sense of daily life and disaster preparedness in the midst of active volcanoes.
生活在两者之间:当地风险意识对管理卡尔布科火山和奥索尔诺火山(智利恩塞纳达)未来喷发的影响
由于处于风险中的社区的看法在未来紧急情况的管理中起着核心作用,因此应急计划必须考虑适当纳入受影响人口的观点。本文以恩塞纳达(智利巴拉斯港)为例进行论述,该居民点位于卡尔布科火山和奥索尔诺火山的直接影响区内。卡尔布科火山和奥索尔诺火山分别在智利受威胁最大的火山中排名第二和第八。在此,我们通过半结构式访谈和文献分析等定性研究,描述了恩塞纳达居民的多重风险认知,以及将人类认知纳入火山应急管理的情况。我们的研究结果表明,恩塞纳达是一个极易受到两座火山多种危害影响的居住区,与一系列社会条件交织在一起,影响着个人对未来火山爆发的脆弱性的自我认知,同时也影响着个人获得加强备灾能力的条件。此外,当地人渴望参与未来的应急管理规划,并在社区、家庭和个人层面采取预防态度。基于这些结果,我们强调了更好地理解感知风险的原因并将其纳入未来火山爆发应急管理战略的优势,以便直观地了解人们如何在活火山中理解日常生活和备灾。
