Diferencias en la percepción de peligros múltiples entre los habitantes de una ciudad fronteriza de México

This document explores the differences in risk perception shown by the inhabitants of the city of Mexicali based on the classification of information, obtained through a survey, which involves variables related to the type of danger, the social characteristics of the subjects, the way knowledge is acquired and the preventive actions they undertake. Among the results, four perceptual groups were obtained, two extremes (amplifiers and attenuators) and two intermediates (focused on selective perception), whose particular characteristics warrant consideration in the area of disaster prevention.
