“…Second, there are people in the middle class who have a lower level of recovery but at the same time have more formal jobs to cope with different events. Finally, the groups with more significant economic needs or low income do not have a great capacity to recover economically in the face of an adverse event for society [21].…”

The pandemic has challenged countries to develop stringent measures to reduce infections and keep the population healthy. However, the greatest challenge is understanding the process of adopting self-care measures by individuals in different countries. In this research, we sought to understand the behavior of individuals who take self-protective action. We selected the risk homeostasis approach to identify relevant variables associated with the risk of contagion and the Protective Action Decision Model to understand protective decision-making in the pandemic. Subsequently, we conducted an exploratory survey to identify whether the same factors, as indicated in the literature, impact Chile’s adoption of prevention measures. The variables gender, age, and trust in authority behave similarly to those found in the literature. However, socioeconomic level, education, and media do not impact the protection behaviors adopted to avoid contagion. Furthermore, the application of the Protective Action Decision Model is adequate to understand the protective measures in the case of a pandemic. Finally, women have a higher risk perception and adopt more protective measures, and in contrast, young people between 18 and 30 years of age are the least concerned about COVID-19 infection.

“…The use of socioeconomic indicators, obtained during the official census in Mexico for 2000 and 2010 [Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática (INEGI) 2018], allows a characterization of the vulnerability of people to heat waves. For instance, their vulnerability may depend on whether they have access to basic medical services (Reyes et al 1998) or education to know self-risk management strategies (e.g., Cid Ortiz et al 2012). Overcrowding in neighborhoods, poor water quality for human use and consumption, inadequate disposal of excreta, and bad hygienic conditions of housing and public spaces have also been considered important vulnerability factors that may induce ADD.…”

Warm Spells and Climate Risk to Human Health in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area

During the second half of the twentieth century, rapid demographic growth and urban expansion led to the development of the Mexico City metropolitan area (MCMA) urban heat island (UHI). The thermal gradient between rural and urban regions is used to define the UHI in the transition zone along the 268C isotherm of mean maximum temperature. As the MCMA expands, more natural vegetation is replaced with urbanization, and the spatial extent of the 268C isotherm grows. The loss of natural vegetation, in a densely populated region of Mexico, leads to the formation of a canopy-layer UHI. The intensification of the MCMA UHI results in an increase in the frequency of daily maximum temperatures above 308C (above 268C on a weekly average), a threshold value that constitutes a natural hazard. Warm-spell occurrences are related to an increase in the number of acute diarrhea diseases (ADD), mainly in zones of the MCMA where the socioeconomic and environmental conditions are low (e.g., insufficient access to potable water). Vulnerable people are mostly located in new settlements along the periphery of the MCMA, where large numbers of hospital discharges due to ADD are reported. The combined effect of more frequent warm spells and increasing vulnerability results in higher levels of risk of suffering this type of health problem, mainly during the warmest part of the year. This analysis may serve to develop UHI mitigation strategies and early warning systems to manage high levels of ADD risk during warm spells.

“…Finalmente, si bien estos antecedentes destacan la importancia de estudiar contextualmente (y articular) estos distintos mecanismos psicosociales para afrontar de forma adaptativa los riesgos socionaturales (Amérigo et al, 2019;Berroeta & Pinto de Carvalho, 2020;Olivos-Jara et al, 2020;Sapiains & Ugarte, 2017), es de destacar que para el caso de Chile ha predominado el estudio de amenazas de tipo terremoto y tsunami (Arias et al, 2017;Bronfman et al, 2016;Cid et al, 2012). Para el caso de los aluviones, algunos antecedentes cualitativos destacan el papel del capital social (Castro-Correa et al, 2020), los medios de vida sostenibles familiares (Sandoval-Díaz et al, 2020), y el crecimiento postraumático diferenciado en grupos vulnerados (Sandoval-Díaz & Cuadra-Martínez, 2020).…”

El incremento de riesgos hidrometereológicos causados por el cambio climático ha llevado consigo la necesidad de fortalecer las capacidades adaptativas de afrontamiento. Bajo este contexto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue esclarecer la relación entre la experiencia directa y las capacidades activas de afrontamiento, considerando tres posibles mediadores: la severidad subjetiva, la percepción del riesgo y la implicancia personal. Para esto, se obtuvo una muestra por conveniencia (n = 490) de una ciudad chilena afectada por aluviones. Como resultado, si bien todas las variables correlacionaron directamente con las capacidades activas (entre r = .13 y r = .49), la relación principal solo estuvo mediada por el temor al riesgo y la identificación y posibilidad de acción; por tanto, se concluye que la experiencia directa previa, el miedo y la autoeficacia percibida impulsarían comportamientos precautorios activos frente al riesgo aluvional.
