“…The vulnerability refers to the inability of a system or unit to cope with hazardous environment effects [29]. According to Nurollahi et al (2015) [30], vulnerability refers to the extent to which the system does not perform its main activities in dangerous situations after an event.…”

et al. 2018

One of the most important environmental problems in Iran is the destruction and drying of Urmia Lake (UL). UL is one of the main causes of suitable weather for agricultural boom and tourist attraction and it should be considered that the villagers exposed to UL drying have a strong dependence on vulnerable resources such as water, air, soil and plants for their livelihoods and have low adaptive capacity with this crisis for reasons such as poverty, lack of awareness and lack of infrastructure. This study was designed to evaluate the vulnerability of rural households to UL drying in the Shabestar region. The vulnerability was calculated based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) definition and using vulnerability index (VI). Research population included rural households of Shabestar region (N = 19,249) and about 347 households were selected as the research sample using multistage cluster sampling technique. Results showed that the average score of respondents was 0.455 (moderate) in exposure, 0.359 (moderate to low) in sensitivity, 0.404 (moderate to low) in adaptive capacity and finally, the vulnerability index (VI) was 0.470 (range of 0 to 1). 12.8% of households had low, 70.5% had medium and 16.7% had high vulnerability towards UL drying.

“…Exposure corresponds to the degree to which an individual is susceptible to the occurrence of an event (Hung et al, 2016). In this way, it can be understood as the condition that makes countries, states, municipalities and groups vulnerable to perverse events, due to their magnitude, frequency and the stimuli for them to become more vulnerable to risks (Costa, 2020), in this case to polluting coastal agents.…”

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.

“…A exposição corresponde ao grau com que um indivíduo se encontra suscetível a ocorrência de um sinistro (Hung;Liu;Chien, 2016;Ofori et al, 2017). Desse modo, pode ser compreendida como a condição que torna os países, estados, municípios e grupos vulneráveis aos eventos perversos, em virtude da sua magnitude, frequência e os estímulos para que estes se tornem mais vulneráveis aos riscos (Costa, 2020).…”

O objetivo do estudo é analisar a relação entre a gestão municipal (representada pela adoção de instrumentos de gestão) e a vulnerabilidade (provocada pelo SARS-CoV-2, vírus que causa a COVID-19) nos municípios brasileiros. Como proxies da gestão municipal e da vulnerabilidade foram adotados o Índice de Gestão Municipal (IGM) e o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Municipal à COVID-19 (IVMCOVID-19), respectivamente. Os índices foram compostos por indicadores extraídos da Pesquisa de Informações Básicas Municipais – MUNIC publicada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística e do Instituto Votorantim. A relação entre IGM e IVMCOVID-19 foi analisada por meio de regressões estimadas pelo método dos mínimos quadrados ordinários e regressões quantílicas. Os principais resultados mostraram que a gestão municipal reduz a vulnerabilidade do município à COVID-19. As evidências estatísticas sobre o papel do município na condução da crise motivada pela COVID-19 apontam que a gestão municipal, ao favorecer a elaboração e a adoção de políticas públicas, atua também como um agente redutor da vulnerabilidade à COVID-19. Nesse sentido, a implementação de instrumentos de gestão deve ser incorporada como um compromisso do poder local na criação de capacidade adaptativa para o enfrentamento dessa e de outras crises.
