- Abstract
Urban centers are composed of a diversity of elements that compose their landscapes and they unite social, demoraphic, economic and environmental differentiations. The growing increase in the population of the cities interferes in the land use process, a fact that makes it decisive in the definition of risks and vulnerabilities to which the population is subjected. Based on this approach, the main objective of this article is to identify the socioenvironmental vulnerability of the urban area of the county of Patos - PB, based on the specialization and analysis of social and environmental indicators extracted by the census sector, from the IBGE Demographic Census conducted in 2010. Alves (2006 and 2007) and Alves were adopted as methodological references; Torres (2006), whose procedures allow the identification of areas of environmental risk, social risk, social and environmental vulnerability, hierarchical and different degrees: very low, low, medium, high and very high. The use of this approach allows to maintain the specificities of the physical-natural and socio-economic components at the same time has to promote their integration. Thus, some of the sectors of the neighborhoods of Sete Casas, Novo Horizonte, Bela Vista, Morro, Liberdade, Nova Conquista, Monte Castelo have their area subjected to a degree of high socioenvironmental vulnerability. The areas identified with this characteristic should be targets of public intervention to minimize existing inequalities, as well as being priority areas for risk and disaster management.
