Abstract

Background: Every day the technological threat materializes in different industrial, commercial and domestic scenarios, which has begun to arouse the interest of different scholars who see this potential risk as a need to intervene in order to avoid damage and affectations. to human communities that interact daily or so close to their geographical locations. Objective: To characterize the technological threat represented by various economic activities and urban conditions in the community of localities 1, 2 and 3 in Cartagena, Colombia. Methods: To evaluate the risks due to technological causes, a tour of the areas object of this project was carried out (urban area of ​​the city of Cartagena, divided by localities 1, 2 and 3. For these localities, the buildings whose occupation is dedicated to the execution of any economic activity related to some type of technological hazard that may have repercussions on the health of the population. Results: In the three localities of the city, risks related to the probability of high voltage fire, liquid spills, gas and vapor leaks, with the probability of fire and other technological risks of high voltage explosion were found. tension and to a lesser extent the risk of collapsing and collapsing of structures due to poor condition of the buildings. Conclusion: Technological risks in Cartagena are a constant in its urban and industrial areas where urban planning should be prioritized to increase industrial safety and avoid technological disasters such as fires and explosions.
