Propuesta metodológica para la identificación de zonas de riesgo, empleando los sistemas de aeronaves no tripuladas (rpas). Caso de estudio: Cerro Casablanca, Madrid, Cundinamarca

Abstract

Growing concern about natural and anthropogenic risk management has driven the use of innovative technologies to identify and somehow mitigate threats. This project addresses the evaluation and prevention of risks in Casablanca Hill, Madrid, Cundinamarca, an area that, over the years, has a complex geography and multiple threats such as geological instability, deforestation and soil erosion. Therefore, the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (RPAS) is proposed together with digital photogrammetry to collect high-resolution geospatial data, allowing the rapid identification of risk areas inaccessible with traditional methods. The goal is to map areas vulnerable to mass clearance events, thereby improving disaster risk management and urban and rural planning. The aforementioned project, in collaboration with the Colombian Aerospace Force (FAC), seeks to take advantage of the experience in RPAS to strengthen the response to disasters and support the formulation of territorial planning and environmental conservation policies. This multidisciplinary approach is expected to not only document risk zones, but also encourage future research and applications in natural risk management and geospatial technology in Colombia.
