| description | What is the impact of disasters on the participation of cooperation spaces? What implications these effects have on the understanding of social vulnerability? By comparing the predisposition to participate in cooperation spaces before and after an earthquake, it is possible to identify how intense is the hypothetical existence of automated resilience –understood as the ability of a community to overcome traumatic circumstances. Manabí, the most populated province in Ecuador, suffered in April 2016 an earthquake of 7.8MW, where more than 600 people died. Using the quasi- experimental technique of Differences in Differences (DiD), the effect of the earthquake on the predispositions to form part of cooperatives in the populations affected by the disaster is estimated. The results conclude that the earthquake did not increase significantly the predisposition under study. However, there is statistical evidence about social, economic, and demographic factors associated with the variation. The findings support the argument that the capacity of reaction in a social group is not automatic and it depends on underlying and structural factors. In turn, the findings contribute to the interpretation that conceptualizations of social vulnerability, moved away from individualistic and economistic notions, are possible and desirable. |
