RISK COMMUNITY MAP FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS MORUMBI AND VILA MONTEIRO, IN THE CITY OF PIRACICABA [SÃO PAULO STATE, BRAZIL]

Abstract

The relationship between territorial planning, resilience and disaster risk reduction is internationally recognized. Risk community mapping is considered relevant to raising the community's perception of the vulnerability and capabilities of its territory, allowing plan actions to be taken to eliminate, reduce or transfer these risks, strengthening its resilience. This article presents an experience of elaborating a community risk map of the communities of Morumbi and Vila Monteiro neighborhoods in Piracicaba [SP], from a workshop applied at the Cultural and Recreational Center Cristóvão Colombo, the main entity in the region. The sharing of the results of this workshop is accompanied by the received comments and recommendations to improve the process of drawing up community maps. The work is based on bibliographical research and the application of workshop with form filling by its participants for the elaboration of risk mapping.
