Analysis of the integration of disaster risk management into local territorial development policy

Abstract

The worldwide emergence of the number of records of occurrences of disasters and the losses and damages generated highlight the need to integrate disaster risk management with other public policies, for the construction of resilient territories. The Sendai Framework and the National Civil Defense and Protection Policy provide for the integration of disaster risk management in the formulation and implementation of public development policies, with emphasis on land use policies and the local territorial level – strategic for being where the risk materializes and where public policies become actions, in addition to concentrating the attribution of competences as a federative entity. The study aims to analyze the integration of disaster risk management with public policies for territorial development of municipalities, starting from the Physical-Territorial Master Plans to verify how much the theme of disaster risk management is incorporated into its textual body. The research has a systemic approach; it is structured in the stages of survey, systematization, analysis, and synthesis. Research is basic; quali-quantitative; explanatory; uses bibliographic and documentary research techniques; descriptive in nature, univariate and multivariate descriptive statistics. The case study of the Itajaí River Basin shows that the body text of the Physical-Territorial Master Plans can be grouped into three major classes: 1) infrastructure, associated with the dynamics during and after the disaster; 2) political, strategic, and organizational structuring, with a more systemic approach; and 3) practical/applied vision. There is a greater concentration of plans in Class 2, and there is a greater frequency of specific terms in Class 1. The analysis of forms associated with disaster risk management in the textual body of the Physical-Territorial Master Plans of the municipalities in the Itajaí River Basin verifies the low integration of disaster risk management with municipal territorial public policies.
