Item type:Publication, Understanding the human dimensions of wildfire risk at a community level in British Columbia, Canada(2026-03-01)Recent spikes in the number of large and catastrophic wildfires in Canada pose significant risks to the environment and society. Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire‐prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes. In this paper, we examine how rural communities experience wildfire risk through a case study of the Robson Valley, British Columbia, Canada. An analysis of data collected through semi‐structured interviews and focus groups with residents shows that wildfire risk is shaped by diverse socio‐economic and political factors, which must be considered alongside the hazard potential for wildfire. Participants identified sensitivities related to declines in the forest industry sector and reduced capacity for fire preparedness, the potential impacts of a fire on power and transportation networks, and loss of timber supply. Limits to adaptation included the centralization of government services that changed how wildfires are suppressed—central crews are dispatched to rural areas, which can conflict with local values and attitudes for responding to wildfires. The findings suggest that rural and remote communities should be meaningfully engaged in wildfire risk management, which entails decentralizing some power and resources to communities.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sentido de Comunidad, Ciudadanía y Apropiación del Espacio en Lima, Perú: El Proyecto Especial Legado(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2026-05-05)A través de un estudio cualitativo con 34 entrevistas, se analizó la construcción de ciudadanía, la apropiación del espacio público y el sentido de comunidad en hombres y mujeres que han tenido contacto con los servicios del Proyecto Legado Especial (PEL) y/o los Juegos Panamericanos Lima 2019. Se consideraron tres ámbitos en los que se intervino el espacio público para adecuarlo al evento deportivo y a los servicios del PEL. Se constató que el sentimiento de satisfacción y orgullo por la nueva infraestructura va acompañado de la percepción de lejanía y dificultades de acceso. Aunque se reconoce que es más fácil practicar ciertos deportes, éstos estarían sujetos a la capacidad de pago. Se concluye que el impacto potencial de la propuesta del PEL en la construcción de un sentido de comunidad y en la promoción del ejercicio ciudadano a su alrededor requiere de una mayor integración de los servicios a las comunidades aledañas, tomando en cuenta sus condiciones y necesidades, para favorecer la apropiación del espacio y su articulación con la comunidad.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Invisible costs of care: Health consequences for women supporting survivors of intimate partner violence in South America(SAGE Publishing, 2026-04-01)This study examines the often-overlooked health consequences experienced by women who provide informal support to survivors of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in their communities. In contrast, extensive research has documented the physical and psychological impacts of violence on survivors; far less attention has been paid to the invisible costs borne by supporters—neighbors, friends, coworkers, or relatives—who are repeatedly exposed to traumatic disclosures and the demands of caregiving. Grounded in the complementary frameworks of Secondary Traumatic Stress, Vicarious Trauma, Compassion Fatigue, and Allostatic Load, this study conceptualizes the “cost of caring” as the cumulative psychological and physiological burden of informal caregiving. Unlike previous research that has focused mainly on professional providers, our analysis highlights the experiences of women embedded in gendered, community-based care networks. A two-phase cross-sectional probabilistic household survey design was implemented in two South American countries with a high prevalence of IPVAW. The exploratory phase was conducted in a high-incidence district in Peru (n = 507), followed by a confirmatory phase using a nationally representative sample in Ecuador (n = 2,501). Standardized instruments measured support intensity, emotional and physical morbidity, and personal victimization. Multivariate analyses, controlling for sociodemographic and violence-related covariates, showed that women providing support to IPVAW survivors reported significantly higher levels of emotional morbidity (β = .075–.083) and physical morbidity (β = .038–.058), even after adjusting for their own experiences of violence. Findings reveal a robust and statistically significant association between informal caregiving and increased health burden, underscoring that the impacts of violence extend beyond survivors to those who sustain them. By making these hidden costs visible, this study contributes to both the social support literature and the IPVAW field, reframing community-level caregiving as a critical public health issue. Although causal inference is limited by the cross-sectional design, the consistency of results across two countries strengthens the external validity and global relevance of the phenomenon.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Entre la verdad y la duda: la violencia simbólica basada en el género dentro del campo universitario(2026-02-04)Entre la verdad y la duda. la violencia simbólica basada en el género dentro del campo universitario, de Alizon Rodríguez Navia, analiza las formas en que la violencia simbólica basada en el género se expresa y reproduce dentro del campo universitario, específicamente en la Escuela de Ciencia Política de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencia Política de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Partiendo del enfoque teórico de Pierre Bourdieu sobre la violencia simbólica y la noción de campo, la investigación examina cómo las relaciones de poder, los discursos y las prácticas sociales contribuyen a la naturalización de desigualdades de género en el espacio académico. La investigación tiene un enfoque cualitativo basado en entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a veinte estudiantes de pregrado (doce varones y ocho mujeres) entre los 20 y 24 años, con el objetivo de identificar percepciones, experiencias y representaciones sobre la violencia simbólica en la vida universitaria. El análisis de la información permitió organizar los hallazgos en tres subcampos de socialización: la familia, la escuela y la universidad. Los resultados evidencian que los estereotipos y jerarquías de género se construyen desde los primeros procesos de socialización familiar, se refuerzan en el ámbito escolar mediante normas disciplinarias y currículos ocultos, y se reproducen en el espacio universitario a través de prácticas discursivas como el ninguneo, la burla, la subvaloración académica, así como mediante dinámicas de acoso y hostigamiento sexual. Del mismo modo, la investigación identifica que las tecnologías digitales y las redes sociales amplifican estas formas de violencia simbólica, especialmente mediante el uso de memes, comentarios y microagresiones dirigidas hacia mujeres y otros grupos vulnerables. Finalmente, el estudio concluye señalando que la universidad, lejos de constituir un espacio neutral, reproduce estructuras patriarcales y androcéntricas que perpetúan relaciones de dominación simbólica. En ese sentido, se plantea la necesidad de fortalecer mecanismos institucionales de prevención, sensibilización y sanción frente a la violencia de género, con el fin de promover entornos universitarios más equitativos, inclusivos y libres de violencia.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Asociaciones entre la depresión y vulnerabilidad socialen adultos de Buenos Aires durante 2021(2026-03-18)El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la depresión y su asociación con la vulnerabilidad social, y analizar las posibles diferencias de sintomatología depresiva entre hombres y mujeres. El diseño de la presente investigación es no experimental, con enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance correlacional, descriptivo y corte transversal. El tipo de muestreo respondió a un carácter no probabilístico por cuotas; sobre un total de 188 personas de ambos sexos, comprendidos en un rango etario entre 18 y 75 años. Para evaluar la depresión se utilizó el Inventario de Depresión de Beck. La vulnerabilidad social fue medida utilizando la Escala de Nivel Económico Social (NES). Los resultados evidencian que la totalidad de la muestra reportó tener uno o más síntomas asociados a la depresión. No se encontraron asociaciones entre la depresión y la vulnerabilidad social. Además, se evidenció en las mujeres una mayor tendencia a la depresión respecto a los hombres. A partir de esto se concluye, por un lado, que la presencia de ciertas infraestructuras e intervenciones del Estado podrían estar actuando como factores protectores, amortiguando así el impacto subjetivo que la vulnerabilidad social ejerce sobre las personas y hogares; y por otro, el hecho que la depresión se presente con mayor frecuencia en las mujeres, puede deberse a que el género se conforma en el marco de valores culturales asociadas a diferentes formas de expresar ciertos malestares psicológicos y físicos.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, “Men's is the only and final word.” A qualitative study of community midwives' insights on violence against women and girls in Yemen, including the forms, causes, and responses of survivors and their families(2025-01-07)Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a serious human rights violation that has intensified in Yemen due to war, displacement, and pandemics. The cultural stigma surrounding discussions of VAWG, particularly sexual violence, compounded by a lack of resources for affected individuals, poses significant challenges for research and program implementation. This study involved qualitative interviews with 20 community midwives from the National Yemeni Midwifery Association across four governorates to explore the causes, forms, and consequences of VAWG and identify potential resources for survivors. A Yemeni physician trained in ethical VAWG research conducted the interviews, which were analysed thematically by two researchers. The findings indicated that physical partner violence was widely recognised as a crime; however, women and girls facing sexual violence often faced severe social ramifications, including ostracism or violence aimed at preserving family honour, leading to underreporting. Midwives identified patriarchal culture and the ongoing economic crisis as key contributors to VAWG. Health-related consequences for survivors included physical injuries such as vaginal tears and obstetric fistula. Additionally, midwives reported that survivors encountered humiliation within the healthcare system. Most women and girls did not seek help; however, when they did, they turned to their families or local leaders for support. To effectively understand, prevent, and address VAWG in Yemen, strategies should prioritise the safety and needs of women and align with cultural values. Insights from community midwives can guide the development of VAWG-focused community-led initiatives.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Tsunami pedestrian evacuation simulation for Camaná, Peru: Perspectives for improving evacuation performance(EDP Sciences, 2025)Optimizing pedestrian evacuation in the face of a tsunami remains a critical challenge for safeguarding human lives. Agent-based models combined with reinforcement learning techniques offer a powerful framework to simulate complex evacuation scenarios, where agents learn to make decisions and identify safe routes in real time. This study focuses on improving evacuation efficiency along the coast of Camaná, Arequipa, Peru. We propose the use of numerical simulations to model pedestrian movement under the guidance of a reinforcement learning-based system. Under current transportation network conditions, only 16.6% of the population is able to reach a safe area in a tsunami scenario similar to the 2001 event. To address this, several modifications to the transportation network were proposed, including the addition of new evacuation paths and the construction of vertical evacuation structures. With the incorporation of 12 new paths and 6 vertical evacuation structures, the percentage of the population reaching safety increases to 73%. These findings provide a scientific basis for planning and implementing improvements to evacuation infrastructure in tsunami-prone areas.2
