Resumen
Los residentes de comunidades costeras enfrentan seguidamente los efectos, variabilidad y
tendencia creciente del Cambio Climático. La relación con el mar y su sentido de arraigo y
pertenencia, estimula la búsqueda de alternativas adaptativas y de autogestión que les permita
alcanzar un hábitat más resiliente y menos vulnerable. La sistematización de dichas practicas
adaptativas, (poco documentadas, importadas a otros niveles, transferidas o integradas a las políticas
formales), constituye el principal objetivo de esta investigación científica. El estudio se compone por
varios métodos investigativos que permiten la observación e identificación de patrones reiterativos
adoptados por la comunidad, que constituyen buenas prácticas, efectivas para mitigar dichos efectos,
y de este modo evaluar el nivel de resiliencia de la comunidad. Se registra, además, la experiencia
frente a fenómenos hidrometeorológicos extremos e historias de vidas que permite identificar las
acciones acometidas por pobladores y organismos de gobernanza locales, el papel de la mujer como lideres o “agentes de cambio”, y las tensiones que generan las políticas formales adoptadas para
estos escenarios en riesgo. Se valora las acciones acometidas institucionalmente, el impulso de
microproyectos locales como instrumento alentador del desarrollo local-social, y los principales
desafíos y oportunidades que se generan en estos contextos, determinados en gran medida, por la
relación formal-informal.
The residents of the coastal communities face the effects, the variability and the growing tendency of Climate Change. The relationship with the sea and its sense of ownership and belonging, stimulates the search for alternatives of adaptation and self-management that allow them to reach a more resistant and less vulnerable habitat. The main objective of this scientific research is the systematization of these adaptation practices (poorly documented, imported at other levels, transferred or integrated into formal policies). The study consists of several research methods that allow the observation and identification of repetitive patterns adopted by the community, which constitute good effective practices to mitigate those effects, and in this way assess the level of resilience of the community. It also records the experience of extreme hydrometeorological phenomena and life histories that allows identifying the actions undertaken by local inhabitants and government, the role of women as leaders or "agents of change" and the tensions generated by them. Formal policies adopted for these risk scenarios. The actions undertaken institutionally, the promotion of local microprojects as an encouraging instrument of local social development and the main challenges and opportunities generated in these contexts, largely determined by the formal-informal relationship, are valued.
