dc.description.abstractPURPOSEDISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IN INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH, WHERE SEVERAL FORMS OF VULNERABILITY COEXIST. POLICY AND OFFICIAL PROGRAMMES, HOWEVER, RARELY RESPOND TO THE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF CITIZENS AND LOCAL LEADERS LIVING IN THESE SETTLEMENTS. EVEN THOUGH THESE AGENTS CONSTANTLY ATTEMPT TO REDUCE RISKS IN THEIR OWN WAY, WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THEIR ACTIVITIES, MOTIVATIONS AND EFFECTIVE IMPACT ON RISK REDUCTION. HERE WE SEEK TO CONCEPTUALIZE BOTTOM-UP INITIATIVES TO BETTER GRASP THEIR ORIGINS, LIMITATIONS AND SUCCESS.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACHTHROUGH A FOUR-YEAR ACTION-RESEARCH PROJECT IN COLOMBIA, CUBA AND CHILE, WE THEORIZE ABOUT THE PRODUCTION OF CHANGE BY LOCAL AGENTS. THROUGH DETAILED CASE STUDIES WE EXPLORED THE ACTIVISM OF 17 LOCAL LEADERS. THROUGH NARRATIVE ANALYSIS WE STUDIED THEIR MOTIVATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS. FINALLY, BY DOCUMENTING 22 INITIATIVES, WE REVEALED EFFECTIVE CHANGES IN SPACE.FINDINGSIN THE FACE OF RISK AND DISASTERS, RESIDENTS AND LEADERS IN INFORMAL SETTINGS ENGAGED IN SYMBOLIC, PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SPACES OF INTERACTION. THEIR ACTIONS WERE GUIDED BY TRUST, EMOTIONS, TIME CYCLES AND ACTIVISM. LOCAL AGENCY WAS JUSTIFIED BY NARRATIVES ABOUT RISK AND CLIMATE CHANGE THAT DIFFER FROM THOSE OF AUTHORITIES AND SCHOLARS.RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONSTHERE IS STILL LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF BOTTOM-UP INITIATIVES IN INFORMAL SETTINGS. IT IS CRUCIAL TO CONCEPTUALIZE THEIR ORIGINS, LIMITATIONS AND SUCCESS. THE FOCUS ON THREE SPECIFIC COUNTRIES NECESSITATES FURTHER RESEARCH FOR BROADER APPLICABILITY AND UNDERSTANDING.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONSA BETTER COMPREHENSION OF BOTTOM-UP ACTIONS IS CRUCIAL FOR INFORMING POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES AIMED AT REDUCING RISK IN INFORMAL SETTINGS. STAKEHOLDERS MUST RECOGNIZE THE POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ROLES OF THESE ACTIONS FOR MORE IMPACTFUL CLIMATE ACTION.
