Resumen
La presente tesis busca profundizar el conocimiento de las comunidades amazónicas en nuestro país, en especial la relación que tienen con los ríos y su percepción de vulnerabilidad ante las inundaciones. El caso de estudio intenta analizar la vulnerabilidad de la comunidad quechua- lamista de Canayo, ubicada en el distrito de Chazuta - San Martín, al margen derecho del río Huallaga.
La metodología utilizada integra el saber técnico con el saber tradicional de la población. Por un lado, el trabajo técnico abarca la caracterización del territorio, la espacialización y análisis multitemporal de la migración lateral del río Huallaga y la quebrada de Chipaota; el análisis de la vulnerabilidad y las capacidades según gabinete. Por otro lado, el saber cultural contempla la comunicación directa con la comunidad a través de entrevistas y el desarrollo de un taller participativo para conocer su percepción frente a las inundaciones. Los métodos desarrollados en el taller, nos ayudaron a validar la información encontrada en gabinete, valorar sus capacidades y conocer la estrecha relación de la comunidad con el río Huallaga y la quebrada de Chipaota.
Integrando ambos enfoques logramos conocer que a pesar que la comunidad de Canayo vive constantemente amenazada por las inundaciones, es su experiencia, sus conocimientos tradicionales y sus capacidades las que le permite contar con mecanismos de adaptación a esta dinámica natural de su territorio y esto contribuye a disminuir su vulnerabilidad. Resultado al que no hubiésemos llegado sin conocer la percepción de sus pobladores.
This thesis aims to deepen the knowledge of the Amazonian communities in our country, especially the relationship they have with rivers and their perception of floods vulnerability. The case study attempts to analyze the vulnerability of the Quechua - lamista community Canayo, located in the district of Chazuta - San Martin, on the right bank of the Huallaga River. The methodology integrates technical knowledge with traditional knowledge of the population. On one hand, the technical work included the characterization of the territory, the spatialization and multi-temporal analysis of lateral migration of the Huallaga River and the gorge of Chipaota; and vulnerability and capacity analysis. On the other hand, cultural knowledge provides direct communication with the community through interviews and the development of a participatory workshop to learn the perception of the community in front of a flood. The methods developed in the workshop helped us to validate the information found in cabinet, value their capacities and know the close relationship of the community with the Huallaga River. Integrating both approaches we know that despite the community of Canayo lives constantly threatened by flooding, it is their experience, the traditional knowledge and their capabilities that allow you to have mechanisms to adapt to the natural dynamics of their territory and this contributes to reduce their vulnerability. Result that we had not come without the perception of the community.
