The purpose of this paper was to draw attention to the need for rising landslide disaster risk awareness directed to children at the local level, particularly in peri-urban mountain areas of Mexico, where high vulnerability conditions and the lowest levels of information and attention are usually found. An attempt to engage children in the co-production of basic disaster risk knowledge associated with landslide exposure founded on a community-based mapping approach was documented for the neighbourhoods of Ayotzingo and Las Moraledas, localities built as post-disaster resettlements, resulting from the disaster of October 1999 associated with rainfall-induced landslides, in the municipality of Teziutlán, Puebla, in México. The performed community-based mapping endeavour is part of the activities carried out within the framework of the ICL-IPL Project “Landslide disaster risk communication in mountain areas.” This approach indicated that analytical capabilities of community-based strategies could be used not only to contribute to the elaboration of hazard maps, but also to highlight the spatial complexity of social and environmental issues that produce and influence landslide disaster risk at the local level. Most importantly, community-based mapping workshops were useful to emphasise the importance of children’s education and participation in disaster risk reduction. In this paper, it is argued that in addition to using maps as quantitative and qualitative tools for depicting the different ingredients and interactions of historical and contemporary processes leading to the social construction of disaster risk, they are a popular and simplified view of the own space of peoples at risk that can be transformed to personal and communal awareness as an initial stage into the understanding of disaster risk and the necessity to transcend disaster response by supporting scientific evidence-based integrated disaster risk management (IDRiM). It was possible to conclude that community-based landslide mapping should be regarded as a cornerstone for landslide disaster risk awareness, favouring the co-production of knowledge by taking into account local contexts. Above and beyond all, it is considered that the sustain participation of children in DRR should be highly valued as a significant means to contribute to the challenge of curbing disaster losses and reducing disaster risk. Furthermore, it should be emphasised that the use of community-based approaches directed to children is obligated for educating the new generations due to the fact that the children of today will be the decision makers and responsible for the disaster risk governance of tomorrow.

山体滑坡暴露意识：以社区为基础的儿童参与方法

本文的目的是提请注意提高地方一级针对儿童的滑坡灾害风险意识的必要性，特别是在墨西哥城郊山区，那里的脆弱性高，信息和关注水平通常最低。成立。在 Ayotzingo 和 Las Moraledas 街区，这些地区被记录在案，他们试图让儿童参与共同制作与滑坡暴露相关的基本灾害风险知识，这些知识基于社区制图方法1999 年 10 月在墨西哥普埃布拉的 Teziutlán 市与降雨引发的山体滑坡有关。进行的基于社区的测绘工作是在 ICL-IPL 项目“山区滑坡灾害风险交流”框架内开展的活动的一部分。这种方法表明，基于社区的策略的分析能力不仅可以用于制作灾害地图，还可以突出在地方层面产生和影响滑坡灾害风险的社会和环境问题的空间复杂性。最重要的是，基于社区的绘图研讨会有助于强调儿童教育和参与减少灾害风险的重要性。在本文中，有人认为，除了使用地图作为定量和定性工具来描绘导致灾害风险社会建构的历史和当代过程的不同成分和相互作用之外，它们还是对处于危险中的人们自己的空间的流行和简化的看法通过支持基于科学证据的综合灾害风险管理 (IDRiM)，这可以转化为个人和社区意识，作为了解灾害风险和超越灾害响应的必要性的初始阶段。可以得出结论，基于社区的滑坡测绘应被视为滑坡灾害风险意识的基石，有利于通过考虑当地情况来共同生产知识。最重要的是，人们认为，应高度重视儿童持续参与 DRR，将其作为应对遏制灾害损失和降低灾害风险挑战的重要手段。此外，应该强调的是，由于今天的儿童将成为决策者并对明天的灾害风险治理负责，因此有义务使用针对儿童的基于社区的方法来教育新一代。
