The episodes of the surface dynamics that cause risk in Brazilian territory, such as landslides, floods and debris flows, marked the historical geography of disasters in Brazil. These events that caused significant losses to society have made management strategies to be put into practice by local government, especially in large urban areas. This article approaches issues related to the programs and projects related to the management of risk areas in the urban environment in some Brazilian cities such as: Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Belo Horizonte, Sao Paulo (Santos and metropolitan region) and cities located in the Itajai river valley in Santa Catarina. These cities have developed projects and programs associated to risk management that give the place earlier priority actions: to act after the disaster - a fact which implied no reaction from the affected communities and that ended up creating a welfare aid culture programs. The change that begins to occur indicates that prevention starts to be a priority in the treatment of high-risk areas in the urban space, and that the communities are part in the construction of a more dignified and safe space in the city.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
