Assessing health risk using regional mappings based on local perceptions: A comparative study of three different hazards in three sites: Laos, Tunisia and Ecuador

Résumé

While human societies remain exposed to natural hazards, anthropogenic dynamics have dramatically increased the exposure to human-originated hazards. Meanwhile, vulnerabilities to such hazards can be managed, controlled or reduced thanks to public policies, through environmental control, sanitation and medical infrastructures and practices (Becerra, 2012). However, assessing such vulnerabilities faces difficulties. Besides the evaluation of hazards themselves through environmental and epidemiological measurements, evaluations and modelisations (Ghorbel et al. 2010), evaluating human vulnerabilities and capacities to face such hazards requires to understand the perceptions of the population exposed: these perceptions condition the local acknowledgement of such dangers but also the differences among the concerned public stakeholders and population for such an evaluation.
