The results indicated that surface temperatures of the consolidated urban area, presenting with marked contrasts in their spatial distribution, occur with high heterogeneity and an important development of areas with higher temperatures in specific sectors. The main factor behind this distribution is the reflectivity of the surface, indicating a closer relationship with the materiality and features covers of built elements than with the type of urban structure. We discuss how this might determine the distribution of particulate material into the urban area.","PeriodicalId":30443,"journal":{"name":"Espacio y Desarrollo","volume":"1 1","pages":"75-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42588066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The direction and attribution of adaptation measures imply a complex analysis process of characteristics and impacts of hydro-climatic and socioenvironmental systems in high-mountain regions. In the Tropical Andes, changes in the hydrological regime –and their subsequent impact on glacier shrinkage and socio-economic development in the region– require robust response mechanisms based on integrative analysis of multidimensional realities and landscapes. In this context, Multi-Purpose Projects for Water Resources (MPP-WR) represent promising strategies in order to deal with current and future challenges in high-mountain regions, considering a transdisciplinary-participatory approach. The present article aims to present a participatory pilot initiative in the field of water resources management and MPP-WR in Andean glacier areas. The workshop, called Winter School, emphasized a structured formulation process for MPP-WR, through which the elements that condition the design of sustainable water projects in the Tropical Andes were identified and analysed (e.g., access to scientific data, social conflicts, institutionality, local culture). Furthermore, through the design and formulation of the MPP, the relevance (and challenges) of a coordinated work between different disciplines and actors was demonstrated, in which both professional experience and local practical knowledge were considered. Future related studies and programmes should take into account the context, variables and scenarios for the formulation (and implementation) of MPP-WR, in order to contribute to robust adaptation measures on the long term in basins with multiple pressures over water resources.","PeriodicalId":30443,"journal":{"name":"Espacio y Desarrollo","volume":"1 1","pages":"7-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43782872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vulnerability itself is the result of a system's sensitivity and adaptive capacity. The potential climate change driven biophysical impacts on the municipality Totonicapan in the western highlands of Guatemala are well documented in outcome vulnerability studies and projected to be severe. They include droughts, frosts, forest fires and life zone changes which also represent important hazards to the municipality’s population. Yet, recent detailed socioeconomic information on the municipality’s contextual vulnerability is scarce. Moreover, social capital which is central to the yet successful management of the unique communal coniferous forests is poorly understood. The present study evaluates the contextual vulnerability of the municipality's population and communal forests using 5 interviews and 167 household surveys from 3 communities for 15 socioeconomic indicators. Qualitative analysis of the interviews urges for further investigation into the link between emigration to the USA, the loss of social capital and communal forest management. Quantitative analysis of the indicators and their aggregation into a vulnerability index by Principal Component Analysis demonstrates that education is the most important vulnerability factor, followed by income which was negatively related to natural resource dependency. An overarching theme was gender inequality. The study is a plea for location and population specific research and adaptation strategies as it identifies significant differences even between communities of the same municipality.","PeriodicalId":30443,"journal":{"name":"Espacio y Desarrollo","volume":"1 1","pages":"117-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42004121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These recommendations arise due to a recognition of the indispensable need for the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of this type of projects to be able to provide, at least, a quality of life equal to the previous one for the resettled population. To do this, resettlement projects must go beyond seeking to reduce the levels of physical vulnerability of the population and become programs of socio-economic development and appropriate technologies through the promotion of livelihoods that are compatible with the climate. This article describes the process of collective elaboration of a systemic proposal of sustainable livelihoods that sought to integrate municipal plans and pre-existing productive activities of the population in one of the most emblematic population resettlement cases in Peru: the relocation of 16,000 inhabitants of Belen to Nueva Ciudad de Belen in the Province of Maynas.

The research was based on the adaptation and application of the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) of Gornitz et al. (1991). Originally, CVI index focuses on physical variables. However, human variables were also included because the study zone is a densely populated area with constant growth in commerce, services, industries and urban constructions projects. The coastal zone south of Lima hasn’t been studied thoroughly before, so to address it systematically, six variables were identified. The following three physical variables were considered: slope, geomorphology and coastal line variation; as well as the following three socioeconomic ones: distance to infrastructure, land use and population density. The integration of the six variables in the IVC allowed the study to categorize four different degrees of vulnerability of the coastal sector (very high, high, moderate, low, and very low). The results of this investigation showed that, from the thirteen spatial units of analysis evaluated, those with very high vulnerability were: Senoritas, Embajadores and Pucusana and those with very low vulnerability were Lurin, Quebrada and the Roca sector. The application of these two types of variables showed that the socioeconomic factors contribute to the increase of vulnerability of the coastal zone while the physical variables contributes to the decrease of it.","PeriodicalId":30443,"journal":{"name":"Espacio y Desarrollo","volume":"1 1","pages":"61-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43835822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to determine the levels of implementation of the concept of co-management in Areas of Regional conservation in a context of climate change and its main productive ecosystems. The results showed that there was a co-management construction process at a basic stage in which institutions such as management committees or resource management committees were being created, which in some cases duplicated tasks with other similar institutions created by actors external to the Areas of Regional conservation and that had not yet been considered in the co-management model. The three Areas of Regional conservation have different realities and, therefore, management should not be standardized; this invites the creation of different co-management strategies, but at the same time a critique is made of the role of the State, represented by PROCREL, in its role of promoter of co-management by neglecting criteria of power sharing and citizen control. Climate change is a growing threat factor in Areas of Regional conservation and is reflected in the problems regularly identified in their production systems, creating co-management models that allow delegating adaptation and mitigation tasks and dividing risks between the different actors is key.","PeriodicalId":30443,"journal":{"name":"Espacio y Desarrollo","volume":"1 1","pages":"147-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47223101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the framework of this research, it is shown that there is no direct relationship between areas of high socioeconomic strata and high quantity and good quality of parks as public spaces. To this end, 8 parks of the district and its distribution have been evaluated, integrating the results of this evaluation with the socioeconomic levels of the district. Among the main results show that the inhabitants of Surco have a good perception of the parks of their district and that many of these spaces are used by inhabitants of the surrounding districts. There is great care of green areas, although they show deficiencies in terms of infrastructure and equipment. However, the district of Surco, despite being one of the districts with the largest number of green areas in Lima, does not meet the number of square meters per inhabitant for WHO or HABITAT.
