Resumen
El objetivo es mostrar cómo los procesos de apropiación y uso del suelo son factores que contribuyen a la vulnerabilidad, según el impacto de eventos naturales en
el distrito de Rivas (Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica). El artículo está estructurado en tres partes: primero se describe aspectos generales del lugar. Seguidamente, se
caracteriza el proceso de colonización agrícola de la región y el paisaje hacia 1955.
Finalmente, se presenta la incidencia de deslizamientos e inundaciones provocadas por tormentas tropicales y huracanes. El análisis está sustentado principalmente en fuentes primarias escritas, orales y el Censo Agropecuario de 1955.
