Culture and landslide risk in the Central Andes of Bolivia and Peru

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Culture and its heritage play a major role in determining landslide risk in the Central Andes. Examples of some of these many possible influences are provided from natural and social science literature and from the author's recent work in Bolivia. Landslide risk appears to have generally increased throughout the last millennium, due largely to anthropogenic modification of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and coping capacity. These changes result from both local and distant pressures and from contempo… Show more

“…Risiko tanah longsor tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan fisik saja, namun faktor sosial-masyarakat sangat berpengaruh dalam pengkajian mengenai risiko bencana longsor (Cutter dkk., 2000). Faktor alam hanya menjelaskan mengenai komponen risiko dan termasuk kerentanan dan kapasitas mengatasi (Roberts, 2009) Pengkajian risiko bencana berdasarkan komponen ancaman, kerentanan dan kapasitas (Anonim, 2012). Studi risiko menentukan dampak dari suatu kegiatan atau proses untuk masyarakat (Glade, 2006).…”

“…Historical sites are often cultural tourism destinations, and their safe fruition is a priority for local administrators. In mountainous settings, where often historical buildings have been erected for strategic purposes, one of the most recurring threat is represented by landslides and, more specifically, rockfalls [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Such mass movements are often the expression of a risk [9][10][11][12][13], which often compromises the fruition of the good, leading to a cultural defeat for our generations.…”

“…Every year, natural disasters cause loss of life and damage to property, including heritage sites, as well as damage to the environment [3][4][5]. The most remarkable natural events usually threatening the fruition of such areas are earthquakes (e.g., [6][7][8]) and landslides (e.g., [9][10][11][12][13]). These two phenomena can be often associated, as a seismic event can be considered a trigger of landslide movements [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
