Abstract
Lima, capital del Perú, conforma con el Callao una extensa aglomeración urbana que registra cerca de nueve millones de habitantes o sea un tercio de la población peruana. Caracterizada por grandes desigualdades sociales y espaciales y agudos problemas de gobernabilidad y gestión urbana, la urbe centraliza los poderes públicos nacionales, las administraciones, los bancos y sedesde grandes empresas lo que resulta en la concentración de la mitad de la economía peruana en la aglomeración capital. Desde esta perspectiva, la perturbación de Lima por un desastre afectaríano solamente la ciudad y sus habitantes sino también el territorio peruano en su conjunto. El propósito de este texto es argumentar la necesidad de desarrollar un enfoque específicamente geográfico en las investigaciones científicas sobre el manejo de las situaciones de emergencia. Esta demostración se apoya en un estudio que se hizo sobre los recursos para la atención de desastre en Lima y Callao, en la hipótesis de ocurrencia de un sismo de gran magnitud acompañado de un tsunami.
Lima, capital of Perú, together with El Callao configure a large urban agglomeration of near nine million people that makes one third of the total Peruvian population. It is characterized by huge social and spatial inequalities and serious governance and urban management problems; and it is the siege of the national public establishments, the administrations, banks and big enterprises, which results in the concentration of half of the Peruvian economy. From this perspective, any perturbation of Lima by a disaster might affect not only the city and her inhabitants but also the Peruvian territory as a whole. The purpose of this paper is to argument the need to develop a strictly geographic focus in the scientific research on the management of emergency situations. This demonstration is based on a study made by PACIVUR about the resources available to attend the disasters in Lima and El Callao, under the hypothesis of the occurrence of a great earthquake followed by a tsunami.
