Abstract
Derived from the establishment of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015–2030, the need and desire to prevent disasters, at global, regional, national and sub-national scales is focused on initiatives directed towards Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Disaster Risk Management (DRM). There is a wide consensus on the necessity of involving community participation to achieve both DRR and DRM. To build adequate strategies for DRR, risk perception analysis are a requirement for integrated disaster risk assessments, the latter being the first step of DRM. Risk perceptions consist of the explanations people build and shape to try to understand the dynamics of the complex interactions that give rise to the humanised landscape according to experiences, beliefs, social and cultural frameworks, feelings and needs. In this paper, a general panorama of some of the aspects concerning the notions of risk and risk perception is presented, to later on deepen into the broad configuration of landslide risk perception analysis.
