| dc.description.abstract | There are many calls to integrate – or mainstream – vulnerability and climate planning into the comprehensive planning process, and to engage in participatory processes around these themes. How to do this in ways that are meaningful to residents in a developing and or emerging country context is, however, less clear. Additionally, experts press the need to prepare communities for a changing climate, but bottom-up perspectives on what this means for local land use are less well developed. My investigation in this paper is innovative in that it seeks to understand perspectives of a wide range of participants in a comprehensive planning process, and explore the meaning of vulnerability in a Latin American context. The case study in the paper is the community-based program Cidade pra Gente (City for Us) led by the state of Goiás, which ran from 2005-2008. At certain point the program engaged approximately 1,100 stakeholders, from 88 cities statewide, in a participatory planning process to develop master plans, which were enacted as municipal law by the participant cities. The paper brings the attention to the vulnerability of systems in the Brazilian biome Cerrado, which is the predominant landscape in Brazil’s state of Goiás. The Cerrado has experienced significant inflow of foreign and national investment and technology for the production of agro- commodities in the past few decades. This has led to a fast pace of urbanization, population growth, urban expansion, and rapid change of land-uses and cover. | |
