The characterization of the physico-geographical system is a tool used to determine the multi-hazards generated by natural phenomena. The term multi-hazard describes the presence of more than one relevant hazard in the geosystem with different levels of interaction. The aim of this work was the characterization of the physico-geographical factors that can be considered as multi-hazard, and influence the disaster risk for the sub-basin of Caldera River, Panama. A systemic analysis of the geology, geomorphology, climatology, soil science and hydrography of the zone was conducted. Such analysis was complemented by fieldwork, using the direct method on the base of the expert criterion or heuristic method. The results indicate that the main hazards occurring in the study area are related to seismic and volcanic issues and its high vulnerability due to slope instability and flooding. These hazards and their relationship with anthropic action need to be considered in land use plans and disaster risk management in this area of Panama. La caracterización del sistema físico-geográfico constituye una herramienta que permite determinar las multiamenazas generadas por los fenómenos naturales. El término de multiamenaza describe la presencia de más de una amenaza relevante en el geosistema con interacciones en diferente nivel. El objetivo de este trabajo fue la caracterización de los factores del sistema físico-geográfico de la subcuenca del río Caldera, Panamá, que pueden ser considerados como multiamenazas naturales y que influyen en el riesgo a desastres del área. Se estudió la geología, geomorfología, climatología, edafología e hidrografía de la zona. Se realizó un análisis sistémico, complementado con el trabajo de campo, utilizando el método directo, sobre la base del criterio experto o método heurístico. Se determinó que las principales amenazas que ocurren en el área de estudio son de origen sísmico, volcánico, la alta susceptibilidad por inestabilidad de laderas y las inundaciones. Dichas amenazas y su relación con la acción antrópica deben ser consideradas dentro de los planes de ordenamiento territorial y en la gestión del riesgo de desastres existentes en esta zona de Panamá.

| description |
The characterization of the physico-geographical system is a tool used to determine the multi-hazards generated by natural phenomena. The term multi-hazard describes the presence of more than one relevant hazard in the geosystem with different levels of interaction. The aim of this work was the characterization of the physico-geographical factors that can be considered as multi-hazard, and influence the disaster risk for the sub-basin of Caldera River, Panama. A systemic analysis of the geology, geomorphology, climatology, soil science and hydrography of the zone was conducted. Such analysis was complemented by fieldwork, using the direct method on the base of the expert criterion or heuristic method. The results indicate that the main hazards occurring in the study area are related to seismic and volcanic issues and its high vulnerability due to slope instability and flooding. These hazards and their relationship with anthropic action need to be considered in land use plans and disaster risk management in this area of Panama. |
