Abstract

Se aborda en este artículo una aproximación al estudio de la vulnerabilidad de la población ante las manifestaciones del Volcán de Fuego de Colima (Estado de Jalisco, México), desde un punto de vista geográfico. Para su desarrollo se plantea el uso de dos escalas: en primer lugar se estudia el entorno del Volcán, haciendo uso de Tecnologías de la Información Geográfica (T.I.G.) para el análisis de sus coberturas del suelo; en segundo lugar, se toma como área piloto el núcleo de Juan Barragán, en las inmediaciones del Volcán, y se analizan las motivaciones de la población, sus disponibilidades y medios de evacuación, así como su actitud ante una hipotética manifestación volcánica.

An approach to the study of vulnerability in volcanic manifestations of Volcán de Fuego de Colima (State of Jalisco, México), from a geographic point of view, is the aim of this paper. Two scales are used to broach the problem: first and foremost was necessary to analyse the land-cover arround the Volcán de Fuego de Colima, using Geographic Information Technologies (G.I.T.); at the same time, the village of Juan Barragán, neighbouring the volcano, was consider like a pilot area, and so, its population was analized with the purpose of understand their reasons of stay at the area, and their possibilities and chances faced with a hypothetic volcanic manifestation.
