Multidimensional construct of municipal risk management for vulnerable groups: Theoretical and conceptual review in the Latin American context. Impulso [online]. 2025, vol.5, n.11, pp.209-222.  Epub 02-Jul-2025. ISSN 2959-9040.  https://doi.org/10.59659/impulso.v.5i11.139.

This theoretical-conceptual review systematizes knowledge on risk management strategies in municipal investment aimed at the development and protection of priority groups in Latin America. Through an integrative documentary analysis of 31 specialized bibliographic references (2004-2025), an integral conceptual framework is constructed that delimits the constitutive dimensions and structural elements of the phenomenon. The results identify a multidimensional construct composed of three dimensions: identification and strategic categorization, effectiveness of participatory mechanisms, and differentiated impact according to priority groups. A taxonomy of six strategic configurations is established that includes municipal conditional cash transfers, differentiated labor inclusion, targeted social infrastructure, comprehensive community risk management, specialized institutional strengthening and inter-institutional articulation. The municipal strategies constitute adaptive institutional systems that go beyond traditional welfare approaches towards social investment models that recognize priority groups as active agents of development.
