Based on social representation theory, this study aims to evaluate and analyze the similarities and differences between social representations of climate change held by people living in two territories, which have in common that they are exposed to coastal risks but have different socio-cultural contexts: on the one hand, Cartagena (Colombia) and on the other, Guadeloupe (French overseas department, France).,A double approach, both quantitative and qualitative, of social representation theory was adopted. The data collection was undertaken in two phases. First, the content and organization of social representation of climate change (SRCC) was examined with a quantitative study of 946 participants for both countries, followed by a qualitative study of 63 participants for both countries also.,The study finds unicity in the SRCC for the quantitative study. In contrast, the qualitative study highlights differences at the level of the institutional anchoring of the climate change phenomenon in these two different socioeconomic and political contexts.,These results are relevant for a reflection in terms of public policies for the prevention and management of collective natural risks, as well as for the promotion of ecological behavior adapted to political and ideological contexts.,The use of a multi-methodological approach (quantitative and qualitative) in the same research is valuable to confirm the importance of an in-depth study of the social representations of climate change because of the complexity of the phenomenon.

气候变化的社会表征:暴露于沿海洪灾风险的两个地区的比较

基于社会代表理论,本研究旨在评估和分析居住在两个领土上的人们所持有的气候变化的社会代表之间的异同,这些共同点是他们面临沿海风险,但具有不同的社会文化背景:一方面是卡塔赫纳(哥伦比亚),另一方面是瓜德罗普(法国法国海外部门)。采用了社会代表理论的定量和定性双重方法。数据收集分两个阶段进行。首先,通过对946个国家和地区的参与者进行定量研究,对气候变化的社会代表性(SRCC)的内容和组织进行了研究,然后对63个国家和地区的参与者进行了定性研究。该研究发现SRCC在定量研究中具有唯一性。相比之下,定性研究强调了在这两种不同的社会经济和政治背景下气候变化现象的制度锚定水平上的差异。这些结果与反思有关预防和管理集体自然的公共政策有关。风险以及促进适应政治和意识形态背景的生态行为。在同一研究中使用多方法(定量和定性)方法对于确认深入研究该方法的重要性非常有价值。气候变化的社会表征是因为该现象的复杂性。
