Abstract

One of the identified weaknesses regarding risk management is the weak impact of disaster prevention policies. Because of this, our research intended to find the imaginary and everyday practices against natural hazards and risk management. We also provided recommendations for land planning in the town of Bogotá. We used an ethnographic approach.
