Abstract

SEPULVEDA-HERNANDEZ, Elia; UCAR, Xavier  and  RODRIGUEZ-FLORES, Paola. Social intervention in socio-natural disasters (SND): analysis from social work students from Coquimbo and Atacama in Chile and the challenges for disciplinary eco-training. Rev. eleuthera [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.2, pp.295-320.  Epub May 18, 2023. ISSN 2011-4532.  https://doi.org/10.17151/eleu.2022.24.2.15.

Objective:

To know the social representations of social work students, regarding the socio-natural disasters that occur in their territory and options for intervention/social management that they recognize.

Methodology:

Quantitative method, case study design. Students from the Atacama and Coquimbo regions in Chile who have faced recent SND such as floods, earthquakes and droughts participated.

Results:

Conclusions:

Relevance of including in Social Work training, theoretical, methodological and procedural eco-knowledge that problematizes the ethical dimension of the society-territory-nature link.

Keywords : environmental justice; socio-natural disasters; green social work; training in social work.
