| Popis: | This theoretical paper provides a new perspective on coastal vulnerability analysis by combining geography and psycho-social approaches. Most studies on perceptions of coastal risks report that people who are exposed have a low level of perceived vulnerability (they are not anxious), strong place attachment (they love their living place and want to live close to the sea) and are resistant to changes in adaptation strategies (they do not want to move away). For natural scientists and managers, these findings usually appear as paradoxes that enhance vulnerability and lead to these people being labelled 'irrational', 'in denial', 'uninformed' or 'uneducated'. Based on our long-term studies among coastal inhabitants in France, we believe that using Social Representations Theory (SRT) in this context enables us to go beyond these preconceived and individual-centred ideas towards a more contextualized view. This position extends theoretical risk/vulnerability research and is applicable to coastal risk management. Resumen: Este articulo teorico aporta una nueva perspectiva sobre el analisis de la vulnerabilidad costera, mediante la combinacion de enfoques geograficos y psicosociales. La mayoria de estudios sobre las percepciones de los riesgos costeros encuentran que las personas expuestas tienen un nivel bajo de vulnerabilidad percibida (no estan nerviosos), un fuerte apego al lugar (aman el lugar en que habitan y quieren vivir cerca del mar) y son resistentes a los cambios a las estrategias de adaptacion (no quieren mudarse a otro lugar). Para los cientificos y gestores procedentes de las ciencias naturales estos resultados a menudo parecen paradojas que potencian la vulnerabilidad y llevan a etiquetar a estas personas como 'irracionales', 'en fase de negacion', 'desinformados', o 'sin educacion'. Basandonos en nuestros estudios a largo plazo con habitantes de zonas costeras en Francia, creemos que |
