CALDERON RAMIREZ, Daniel Ricardo  and  FREY, Klaus. Networks and Disasters Risk Governance in Bogota, Colombia. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.177-195.  Epub Sep 06, 2022. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v31n1.88049.

This article starts from the general context of disaster risk management and resilience-building processes, which are analyzed as social construction phenomena from the analytical perspective of interactive governance, having as the empirical object of investigation the District System of Risk Management and Climate Change from the city of Bogota. Using Social Network Analysis (SNA) methodology, we analyze how in this sociopolitical system, complexity, diversity, and dynamism intervene in social relations that in turn favor the emergence of a interactive governance, allowing different types of actors to be involved, managing to reduce risk and vulnerability in the face of uncertainty and different types of threats. In the end it is concluded that the generation of institutional arrangements and the political will to generate cooperation agreements and participation of different social actors, together with the social perception of risk are important factors that influence the social construction of resilience in cities.

Keywords : city; risk management; governance; resilience; social systems.
