Abstract
En este documento se presenta un estudio de análisis de riesgos a eventos de inundación para proponer medidas de mitigación en el Municipio de Santa Ana del Yacuma, Beni, Bolivia. La zona de estudio, es una región de Bolivia afectada anualmente por eventos extremos de inundaciones con efectos negativos en el desarrollo, aspecto que se traduce en una amenaza constante para los habitantes que actualmente se encuentran en una situación vulnerable. El análisis y procesamiento se desarrolló mediante una metodología participativa de involucrados, que incluye a la población afectada, dirigentes de las comunidades, técnicos y autoridades municipales que posibilitaron la recolección de la información a partir de la percepción local, complementado con mapas con probabilidad de riesgos de inundaciones. Los resultados del análisis de riesgo determinan que el municipio de Santa Ana del Yacuma, se encuentra en un nivel de riesgo que fluctúa entre "muy alto", "alto" y "medio" no encontrándose sectores con nivel de riesgo "bajo" o sin riesgo. Las medidas de mitigación para este riesgo latente y recurrente, se priorizaron según la zonificación del mapa de riesgos y el tiempo de su aplicación (inmediata, mediata y largo plazo), considerando también acciones estratégicas que fortalezcan la capacidad de coordinación de las autoridades y la resiliencia de la población en general.
This paper presents a study of risk analysis to flood events to propose mitigation measures in the municipality of Santa Ana del Yacuma, Beni, Bolivia. The study area is a region of Bolivia affected annually by extreme events of floods with negative effects on the development, aspect that is translated into a constant threat for the inhabitants that at the moment are in a vulnerable situation. The analysis and processing was developed through a participative stakeholder methodology, which includes the affected population, community leaders, technicians and municipal authorities that enabled the collection of information from local perception, complemented with maps with probability of risks of floods. The results of the risk analysis determine that the municipality of Santa Ana del Yacuma is at a level of risk that fluctuates between "very high", "high" and "medium", with no sectors with "low" or without risk. The mitigation measures for this latent and recurrent risk were prioritized according to the zoning of the risk map and the time of its application (immediate, mediate and long term), also considering strategic actions that strengthen the coordination capacity of the authorities and the Resilience of the general population.
