METODOLOGÍA PARA EL ANÁLISIS DE VULNERABILIDAD ANTE AMENAZAS DE INUNDACIÓN, REMOCIÓN EN MASA Y FLUJOS TORRENCIALES EN CUENCAS HIDROGRÁFICAS

Risk management is a fundamental component for the planning of watersheds and in general for the integral management of the territory. However, risk management exercises have been hegemonized from the partial visions of the natural and applied sciences, so they have focused mainly on the analysis of hazards, giving less importance to the vulnerability components. This work outlines a methodological proposal for the analysis and spatialization of the vulnerability to flood hazards, mass movements and torrential flows, supported by a holistic theoretical framework and the use of geographical information systems. This methodology was applied to a microbasin of the Combeima river, located in the department of Tolima. The obtained results allow verifying its practical viability, being also susceptible of generalization.
