The rural region known as "Valles Cruceos" is crucial to the supply of food and other resources to the fast-growing neighboring city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia). The region, like many other rural areas in South and Central America, is experiencing progressive and severe environmental degradation as a result of the growing demand for its natural resources. In this circumstance, sound policies and governance for sustainable land management are ineffective and unsupported by data and research findings. With this study, we want to create a novel and useful integrated hazard analysis method that will help understand hazard patterns based on evidence and inform risk assessment processes across the urban-rural continuum.
