Climate change is posing emerging threats to people and the environment, particularly in arid regions. However, some groups are more vulnerable than others, depending on their levels of exposure, sensitivity adaptive capacity, which determined by climatic non-climatic factors. In water-scarce environments, water policies become key factors that affect vulnerability yet enable modifications if impacts unintentionally exacerbate vulnerability. Therefore, it necessary analyze vulnerability, for...
Achieving water security for humans and ecosystems is a pervasive challenge globally. Extensive areas of the Americas are at significant risk insecurity, resulting from global-change processes coupled with regional local impacts. Drought, flooding, quality challenges pose threats, while same time, rapid urban expansion, competing demands, river modifications, expanding global markets water-intensive agricultural products drive insecurity. This paper takes social-ecological systems...
Dengue virus, primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti (L.) mosquito, has rapidly expanded in geographic extent over past several decades. In some areas, however, dengue fever not emerged despite established Ae. populations. The reasons for this are unclear and have sometimes been attributed to socio-economic differences. 2013 we compared adult density population age structure between two cities Sonora, Mexico: Hermosillo, which regular seasonal virus transmission, Nogales, minimal...
Addressing wicked problems challenging water security requires participation from multiple stakeholders, often with conflicting visions, complicating the attainment of water-security goals and heightening need for integrative effective science-policy interfaces. Sustained multi-stakeholder dialogues within networks can improve adaptive governance system resilience. This paper describes what we define as "dialogic networks," or interactions -- both in structural procedural terms between...
Transformation or modification of vegetation distribution and structure in arid riparian ecosystems can lead to the loss ecological function. Mexico has 101,500,000 ha lands, however there is a general lack information regarding how are being modified. To assess these modifications, we use eight sites San Miguel River (central Sonora) analyze (1) composition, using field sampling remote sensing data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV); (2) productivity (proxies), indices derived satellite...
In this study we analyse how three cities in the arid Americas have addressed urban growth while facing water scarcity: Hermosillo, Mexico; Mendoza, Argentina; and Tucson, USA. We use security framework to examine five domains of management: sociodemographic, economic, technological, ecological governance (SETEG). Our analysis indicates that, spite scarcity, has been promoted cities. argue that expansion, although encouraged for economic development, is not sustainable long term. cities,...
The peri-urban area is the region where there a more dynamic interaction between urban and rural. supplies natural resources, such as land for expansion agricultural products to feed population. In arid semi-arid lands, northern Mexico, these areas may also be source of water city's domestic demand. addition, scholars argue that residents have advantageous geographical position selling their labour in cities and, by doing so, sustaining livelihoods. A considerable number studies examined...
evento, se analizó la base de datos del monitoreo calidad agua subterránea que aparece en el portal electrónico Fideicomiso Río Sonora.Por las implicaciones este evento tiene para salud, los valores reportados confrontaron con límites máximos permisibles establecidos Norma Oficial Mexicana vigente.Asímismo, enriquecer discusión, caso arsénico, comparando relación y Guía Organización Mundial Salud.
En este artículo se examina la capacidad de los consejos cuenca México para gestionar asuntos hídricos su territorio, en particular el caso del Consejo Cuenca Alto Noroeste. Para ello revisa literatura académica sobre componentes institucional, y proponen variables evaluar efectividad a escala local; analiza contenido marco legal consejos, juzgan sus alcances limitaciones. Aunque dicho es válido política pública esta materia México, también las consejo estudiado, generalización deberá...
En este estudio se identifican las regiones con mayor presión antropogénica sobre el agua subterránea en México. La información para identificar estas áreas corresponde a los registros georreferenciados de 314 292 derechos que especifican volumen concesionado por la Comisión Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA). construyeron tres indicadores, representados mapas densidad tipo Kernel, muestran distribución espacial partir puntuales agua. Los indicadores obtenidos: a) geográfica según cantidad pozos,...
Por decadas, el crecimiento de las ciudades solamente se ha considerado en funcion la disposicion suelo. En del norte Mexico, usualmente ubicadas regiones aridas o semiaridas, existe una alta dependencia agua subterranea. esta razon, planeacion integral urbana obligada no solo a considerar area peri-urbana suelo, sino tambien La transferencia para uso urbano produce severas alteraciones al medio natural como agotamiento acuiferos y cambios drasticos suelo cubierta vegetal. este documento...
Government-administered adulticiding is frequently conducted in response to dengue transmission worldwide. Anecdotal evidence suggests that spraying may create a "false sense of security" for residents. Our objective was determine if there an association between residents' reporting outdoor spatial insecticide as way prevent and both their reported frequency prevention practices household entomological indices Hermosillo, Mexico.A non-probabilistic survey 400 households August 2014. An oral...
En diversas investigaciones, los conceptos de vulnerabilidad y riesgo se han estudiado por separado, como si no existiera una relación entre ellos. De aquí emerge nuestro objetivo examinar las ventajas analíticas estudiar ambos dentro un mismo marco conceptual. Para ello, revisaron definiciones utilizadas en distintos campos el social, la salud pública impacto del clima desastres. Las implicaciones ilustran mediante caso altas temperaturas noroeste México. resultados hace patente que...
Abstract: Public spaces could promote health equity by providing a place for people to engage in physical activity. Whereas most studies show positive association between public and activity, there are still mixed results, especially low- middle-income countries. The objectives of this mixed-methods study were: (i) assess the quantitative access activity; (ii) modification quality, area-level walkability, social stratifiers; (iii) explain results using qualitative data. Quantitative data...
La minería es una de las actividades impulsoras la economía que más contamina el medio ambiente. Los desastres por derrames en presas jales mineros todo mundo así lo indican. En estas circunstancias, un reto desarrollar esta actividad garantizando sustentabilidad del entorno, y para ello necesario contar con diagnóstico real estado conservación funcionamiento instalaciones. Esta tarea difícil lograr debido a poca supervisión dependencias oficiales responsables, falta catastro público...
The case of an arid Northwest city Mexico is studied with the general objective assessing influence percentage vegetation cover (VC) in Land Surface Temperature (LST) and mapping its spatial distribution, through a geographic information system using remote sensing data. Results showed: 1) on average, 12% (min. 0 to max. 59%) block covered vegetation, 38% blocks had % VC ≤ 10; 2) LST regression model estimated temperatures range from 37 45°C, main explanatory variable was VC, increasing 10...
This work compares the landscapes built by Mennonites and Mestizos of Chihuahua, Mexico. comparison was made through characterization land cover use, obtaining landscape ecology metrics in plots both social groups. The results show that have more intensive agricultural landscapes, a process organization appropriation space linked to their history religion. These findings help understand evolution cultural Mexico elsewhere Latin America, where there are colonies Mennonite population, or...
