Community Perceptions of Coexistence with a River: The Case of Barrio Lujan and the Ocloro River, Costa Rica

Barrio Lujan is an urban community located in San Jose, Costa Rica, which has suffered for decades from floods that have been part of the history of people living there. For this reason, this research is focused on the one hand, on knowing the point of view of community residents on their coexistence with the Ocloro River, their opinions regarding that coexistence, and their perception about the existing civil organization to face this situation and, on the other hand, on inquiring about the state institutions that attend to them in the mentioned events.
