Abstract

doi: 10.12957/geouerj.2017.28311

The issue of vulnerability is increasingly present in academic studies and in research activities from government agencies in Brazil and the world, this growth occurs through the need to understand society more deeply and its different degrees of vulnerability, seeking solutions for a more inclusive society. The objective of this study is to analyze the areas of social vulnerability and environmental risk in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. With the application of GIS techniques, areas of Very High, High, Moderate and Low social vulnerability and environmental risk were identified. These results were obtained through the spatial overlap between the Social Vulnerability Index and areas susceptible to landslide. The results of this article express the starting point for further analysis of social vulnerability and environmental risk.
