“…Vulnerability is defined as the conditions determined by physical, social, economic, environmental factors or processes, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards (UN/ISDR 2004). Nowadays, the research of the vulnerability system can be divided into four main components: social vulnerability (Anderson, 2005;Yoon, 2012), economic vulnerability (Fuchs, 2009;Kienberger, 2012), environmental vulnerability (Barnett et al, 2008;Boruff and Cutter, 2007) and physical vulnerability (Luna et al, 2011;Kappes et al, 2012;Totschnig and Fuchs, 2013). Social vulnerability is defined as "the characteristics of a person or group and their situation that influence their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from the impact of a natural hazard" (Blaikie et al, 1994;Weichselgartner, 2001;Wisner, 2003).…”
