AN HISTORICAL LOOK AT GEOMORPHOLOGY AND ITS ROLE AS AN APPLIED SCIENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF NATURAL HAZARDS AND LAND USE PLANNING

Authors

  • Luis Nelson Arroyo-González Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica., Costa Rica

Keywords:

Geomorphology, natural hazards, land use planning

Abstract

This article takes into consideration the historical antecedents that have contributed to the emergence of geomorphology as a science. Approaches and perspectives of some authors are inserted as a way to comment on the more relevant stages in this epistemological approach to natural hazards and their application in land use planning.
