GARCIA LIRIOS, Cruz et al. SPECIFICATION OF A SOCIOPOLITICAL HYPEROPIA MODEL. Luna Azul [online]. 2016, n.42, pp.270-292. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2016.42.17.

The process consisting in ensuring that natural disasters and distant environmental catastrophes are not linked to the personal situation, or local issues are not of such magnitude thay they involve a conservation action, is known as environmental hyperopia. In this sense, the present article aims to specify a model for the study of this perceptual bias that explains the relationship between nature and humanity. To that end, a documental study was carried on RADALYC, DIALNET and LATINDEX databases during the period 2010 to 2014 in Articles with ISSN and DOI record concerning environmental hyperopia. The model specified includes eight dimensions referring the perceptual bias with respect to local and residential water supply. In reference to the state of knowledge, the specification was proven to be able to anticipate analysis scenarios, perceptual structures, decision-making and behavior in terms of water availability and the needs / expectations of local consumption.

Keywords : environmental catastrophes; natural disasters; water supply; perception of risk; Pro-environmental behaviors.
