A contribuição da vulnerabilidade na determinação do índice de desenvolvimento humano: estudando o estado de Santa Catarina

Abstract

The concept of Human Development is grounded on the assumption that progress should not be measured just in economic terms, but must also encompass other social, cultural and political characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to assess the relationship between vulnerability and human development, proposing an approach for attaining the fourth and fifth Millennium Goals, based on a study of municipalities in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The data were taken from the Human Development Atlas published in Portuguese by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Brazil during 2000(1) and Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE . After a superficial analysis of this State, all the municipalities were analyzed in greater detail through the Municipal Human Development Index (HDI-M) ratings for their vulnerability indicators and components. The HDI-M ratings were scored by vulnerability variables, described in quartiles for each HDI-M. The HDI proved useful for the general description of the conditions in this State and distinguishing groups of municipalities. When broken out into groups, some indicators showed significant inequalities.

O IDH brasileiro passou de 0,788, em 2003, para 0,792 em 2004, resultado que mantinha o país entre as 83 nações de médio desenvolvimento humano, e ausente, portanto, do grupo de 63 nações de alto desenvolvimento humano, que tem a Noruega no topo pelo sexto ano consecutivo (IDH de 0,965) (PNUD, 2006).…”

Reflections for sustainable development: Forestry industry in southern Brazil

“…The variables of quality of life, income and education were selected when doing research for work and Panhoca de Silva [3] and also in the work of Silva [10].

“…Another finding is the lack of availability of labor and family participation in the production of the property [1], [2].

Here the landscape looks so irregular that there are extensive plantations and properties are characterized by irregularity of relief [5], [6], [7].…”
