“…The tradition of vulnerability studies has an amalgamation of tools and multiple disciplines, resulting in a variety of perspectives (Eakin & Luers, 2006). Two other strands of research stand out, which in this understanding are based on the anthropocentric and geocentric approaches (Adger, 2006;Füssel, 2007;Nath et al, 2021). On the one hand, the anthropocentric approach promotes an understanding of how society affects vulnerability, delving into socioeconomic, demographic, political, institutional, cultural, and technological factors.…”

“…On the one hand, the anthropocentric approach promotes an understanding of how society affects vulnerability, delving into socioeconomic, demographic, political, institutional, cultural, and technological factors. On the other hand, the geocentric approach analyzes how various geomorphological, ecological, and environmental factors (including natural hazards) affect vulnerability (Nath et al, 2021).…”

“…The anthropocentric approach relates to how family's vulnerability without taking into account its exposure to environmental variability, thus ignoring the effect of biophysical factors, such as the ability of families to draw on natural capital to deal with anthropocentric crises. In contrast, the geocentric approach seeks to understand a family's vulnerability without taking human society into account, including families' ability to draw on socioeconomic or political resources to deal with geocentric crises and their components (Nath et al, 2021).…”

The article aims to analyze the socioeconomic vulnerability of Brazilian coastal municipalities as a result of coastal polluting agents.This quantitative research has an exploratory nature, as it was dedicated to the development of socioeconomic indicators to assess vulnerability to the adverse effects of issues related to coastal and marine pollution in Brazilian coastal municipalities. To this end, secondary data compiled from several organizations with publicly available information were used and, with the support of a legal framework, the analysis platform was structured.The effects of polluting elements in the Brazilian coastal region are driven by local social and environmental determinants that have significant impacts on economic variables. When analyzing the effects of exposure to coastal and marine polluting agents (Vulnerability, Production Value and Active Links), the 59 Brazilian cities examined were impacted in their social structure, especially those that face recurring health problems, such as environmentally adequate disposal of waste, access to sewage services and per capita production of polluting waste. These issues elevated the North and Northeast regions to high levels within the parameters described. The study at the theoretical level proposed to present an indicator for imminent vulnerabilities in coastal areas, mainly the risks related to solid waste produced in these environments, revealing probable threats linked to environmental and marine pollution, in addition to assisting in the implementation of actions at governance levels public initiative to co-create resilience strategies for coastal communities, acting as an important instrument for their continuity.
