COIHUECO ES UNA COMUNA CORDILLERANA EN LA RECIENTE FORMADA REGIÓN DE ÑUBLE, SU PATRIMONIO NATURAL SE COMPONE POR ELEMENTOS GEOMORFOLÓGICOS, HIDROGRÁFICOS Y BIÓTICOS PROMINENTES, DESTACANDO EN SU PATRIMONIO CULTURAL LAS TRADICIONES CRIOLLAS DEL CAMPO CHILENO. ES ESTE PATRIMONIO NATURAL Y CULTURAL EL QUE SE DECIDE DIAGNOSTICAR A TRAVÉS DE LA IDENTIFICACIÓN Y EVALUACIÓN UTILIZANDO UNA ADAPTACIÓN DEL MÉTODO OEA-CICATUR PARA ELABORAR INVENTARIOS DE ATRACTIVOS TURÍSTICOS. SE BUSCA ESTABLECER LA POTENCIALIDAD TURÍSTICA DEL PATRIMONIO DE COIHUECO CON EL OBJETIVO DE PROPONER EL DESARROLLO DE UN TURISMO DEL TIPO SOSTENIBLE EN UN TERRITORIO QUE AL HABER CAMBIADO RECIENTEMENTE SU ADSCRIPCIÓN POLÍTICO ? ADMINISTRATIVA PRESENTA LA NECESIDAD DE ESTRATEGIAS, PLANES Y PROGRAMAS CADA VEZ MÁS DESCENTRALIZADOS Y QUE PROMUEVAN EL DESARROLLO ECONÓMICO A LA PAR DE LA PRESERVACIÓN DE LOS RECURSOS DISPONIBLES.

ADAPTIVE CAPACITY AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE ARE CENTRAL ELEMENTS FOR PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY AS PART OF DISASTER RISK PROCESSES, BOTH OF WHICH ARE RELEVANT IN DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS AND FOR REDUCTION OF VULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGE. IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, WHICH IS HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO DISASTERS, THERE IS A RESEARCH GAP REGARDING THE ACADEMIC USE OF BOTH ELEMENTS MENTIONED ABOVE. OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO ANALYZE THE THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ADAPTIVE CAPACITY AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE TO SOCIO-NATURAL DISASTERS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN. WE CONDUCTED A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW (USING PRISMA APPROACH) OF 50 SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES SELECTED FROM THE WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS, AND SCIELO DATABASES. AS A FIRST RESULT, WE IDENTIFIED A PREDOMINANCE OF RESEARCH ON EXTREME EVENTS SUCH AS EARTHQUAKES, FLOODS, AND TSUNAMIS. SECONDLY, THE DIMENSIONS OF POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY ARE IDENTIFIED AS THE MAIN BARRIERS. FINALLY, WE IDENTIFIED RISK PERCEPTION, CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, AND SOCIAL LEARNING AS THE MAIN ENHANCER COMPONENTS. FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES, ALTHOUGH BOTH NOTIONS ARE WIDELY USED IN THE FIELD, IT IS NECESSARY TO SPECIFY THEIR SCOPE, FORMS OF EVALUATION, AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
