SOCIAL VULNERABILTY TO NATURAL HAZARDS IN THE DAMBOVITA COUNTY
Journal Title: The Annals of Valahia University of Târgoviste, Geographical Series - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Socioeconomic and demographic data were used to construct an index of social vulnerability to natural hazards for the Dambovita county based on 2002 census data. Using an analytic approach, 11 independent variables were placed in a model to compute a summary score— the social vulnerability index. There are some distinct spatial patterns in the social vulnerability, with the most vulnerable units in the southern regions of the county. Those factors that contribute to the overall score often are different for each administrative units, underscoring the interactive nature of social vulnerability—some components increase vulnerability; others moderate the effects.
