Together with the Foundation for Overcoming Poverty and with appreciation to the Research Project No. 091312YR DICYT at the University of Santiago, working on the concept of Social vulnerability closely related to urban areas and the problems they present. Once defined the concept of Territorial Social Vulnerability, territory is zoned in Macro- study areas —and by administrative and political divisions— in order to identify determining factors and variables that serve as input to generate the methodological proposal for diagnosis and identify the different levels of social vulnerability to regional and municipal level, considering territory effects. This would help more efficiently to the current methods of targeting and improved policies, plans and / or government programs that are aimed at the more vulnerable and poor population. ; En conjunto con la Fundación Superación de la Pobreza y en agradecimiento al proyecto de Investigación DICYT N° 091312YR de la Universidad de Santiago, USACH, se trabaja sobre el concepto de vulnerabilidad social2 relacionada estrechamente con los territorios urbanos y las problemáticas que estos presentan. Una vez definido el concepto de Vulnerabilidad Social Territorial se zonifica el territorio, en Macro-zonas de estudio —y según su división político administrativa— con el fin de identificar factores y variables determinantes que servirán de insumo para generar la propuesta metodológica que permita diagnosticar e identificar los diferentes niveles de vulnerabilidad social a escala regional y comunal, considerando los efectos territoriales. Esto ayudaría de forma más eficiente que las metodologías actuales a la focalización y mejoras de políticas, planes y/o programas del Gobierno, que vayan efectivamente dirigidas a los sectores de mayor rezago y escasos recursos.

Jointly with the Fundación Superación de la Pobreza and to express gratitude to DICYT Research Project No. 091312YR, Vice-Rector's Office of Research, Development and Innovation of Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), this work revolves around the concept of social vulnerability, closely related to urban territories and the issues they pose. Once the concept of Territorial Social Vulnerability has been defined, the territory is zoned in macro-areas of study, according to their political-administrative division, in order to identify determinant factors and variables that will serve as input to develop a methodological proposal to diagnose and identify the different levels of social vulnerability at regional and communal scale, considering its territorial impacts. This is expected to efficiently support current government targeting tools and improve policies, plans and/or programs aimed at disadvantaged population groups. ; En conjunto con la Fundación Superación de la Pobreza y en agradecimiento al proyecto de Investigación DICYT N° 091312YR, Vicerrectoría de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), se trabajó sobre el concepto de Vulnerabilidad Social, relacionado estrechamente con los territorios urbanos y las problemáticas que estos presentan.

[EN] The severe crisis affecting the society, economy and the Spanish political situation also has a geographical dimension. Its effects have been very uneven depending on the vulnerability of the territories, which is related to their trajectory and their exposure to risk associated with the growth model followed in recent decades. This paper analyzes the impact of the crisis in the Spanish provinces by fifteen indicators explaining its different intensity and offers some final thoughts on recovery strategies. ; [ES] La profunda crisis que ha afectado a la sociedad, la economía y la situación política española tiene también una dimensión geográfica.

This paper proposes a composite indicator intended to assess territorial differences in household energy vulnerability. Although the estimation of household energy vulnerability has received less attention in scientific literature than energy poverty, it is a key element for political action as it allows for the diagnosis and subsequent action to tackle potential situations of household poverty before they actually occur. In this sense, the principal contribution of this article is a proposal for a tool designed to quantify the abstract and multidimensional phenomenon of household energy vulnerability. The technique used for constructing this synthetic indicator allows for the participation of stakeholders, especially policy makers, in defining and calculating the index. The synthetic index for energy vulnerability has been estimated for Spanish provinces. The results allow for the creation of a map providing an approximate insight into the spatial distribution of household energy vulnerability in Spain ; SI

Environmental vulnerability is crucial to understanding the sustainability and feasibility of human activities. In light of this, a problem is now emerging in Brazil, specifically in the state of São Paulo. It relates to the expansion of sugarcane cultivation as a monoculture, with consequential negative impacts that decrease the systemic resilience of the affected territories. Bearing this in mind, the present study analyzes to what extent environmental vulnerability was taken into account in the spatial planning of the expansion of this farming activity, focusing on the agro-environmental zoning of São Paulo's sugarcane industry as the main public policy currently guiding the state's industry. The analysis shows that this zoning, overall, considers only the edaphoclimatic potentials in planning the expansion of sugarcane farming, and disregards the restrictions related to the existing environmental vulnerability. Thus, agro-environmental zoning could ultimately increase the territorial environmental vulnerability of the state of São Paulo.

International audience ; Somewhere in Haut-Bugey region, between Ain and Jura, an oil and gas drilling in 1989 lead to a water source pollution. Twenty five years later, the government overrules a request for an extension of a permit for hydrocarbon exploration on these same territories. The main reason of this decision is based on the conviction of territorial vulnerability. As a consequence, vulnerability is now largely admitted. However the recognition of this vulnerability has been the result of tough negotiations between policy makers and populations concerned. It was the reason of a socio technical ongoing conflict whose backgrounds are about legitimate qualification of knowledge, experience and knowledge on the risks of drilling of these typical karsts environments in the region. How their existence, relevance and finally their recognition were been negotiated to establish vulnerability of these territories? Based on an investigation on the site of the protest, this paper traces the history of the publicizing of solutions and problems through the confrontation between stakeholders taken into controversy, debate and the conflict. Eventually, it experiences the observation often made elsewhere that conflict is also a privileged way for the formation of a collective intelligence and for a risk public expertise, that conflict is sometimes the only means to lead to a real participation for people concerned ; Dans le Haut-Bugey, aux frontières de l'Ain et du Jura, un forage pétro-gazier donnait lieu en 1989 à la pollution d'une source d'eau. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, l'administration rejette la demande de prolongation d'un permis d'exploration au même endroit. La raison invoquée est la vulnérabilité désormais admise de ces territoires. Sa reconnaissance aura cependant fait l'objet d'âpres négociations entre décideurs et publics concernés. Elle est le motif d'un conflit dont les soubassements sont la qualification légitime des savoirs, expériences et connaissances sur les risques auxquels renvoie le forage de ...
