Abstract

 

The objective of this work is to present the procedure for risk management from the local resilience approach is presented. The application of the procedure was developed for the case of risk due to forest fires in the Oscar Lucero locality of the Holguín municipality. Methods such as: analysis and synthesis, systemic-structural, interview surveys, matrices, and descriptive and inferential statistics tools were used. An analysis of social and ecological robustness, and of specific resilience, was also carried out, which allowed dynamizing the factors that contributed to the reduction of risk in the space studied. Through the results obtained during its application for five years, it was possible to introduce the resilience approach in practice and evaluate its relevance in the Holguin context.
