title: Collaborative Landslide Risk Management in Rio de Janeiro
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: The mountainous region in RJ is naturally prone to landslides, due to heavy rainfall and steep relief, but the risk has increased simultaneously with urban expansion. Many hillsides are occupied by informal settlements, or ‘favelas’, which provide many important services for the city, such as cheap labor. These favelas were subject to  one of the most devastating landslide events that struck the region in 2011. Landslide risk management in Rio de Janeiro has taken a collaborative turn after acknowledging that previous strategies were ineffective. This research examines this collaborative turn through the lens of post-contingency theory, to evaluate the performance and collaboration of the biggest landslide risk management programs of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The aim of the research is to fill the knowledge gap on the possibilities that the favelas can offer for landslide risk management to increase its equity and effectiveness.
