Summary: Conducting studies on vulnerability in an integrated analysis, which includes
both environmental and social aspects, is an important instrument not only to
expand the knowledge of a knowledge of a certain area, but also to support
decision-making in the face of socio-environmental problems. The Agrarian
Reform settlements have a diversity of social characteristics in addition to being
located in locations WHERE environmental systems have potentialities and
specific limitations. Given the lack of studies on the environmental and social
risks faced by these communities, as well as the uncertainties of future climatic
conditions, the objective of this research was to develop a method to identify the
socio-environmental vulnerability of the settlements. The method was built from
the consideration of environmental (climate and water) and social variables. For
the construction of the Social and Environmental Vulnerability Index (IVUSA),
the following indicators were used: Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Index
for Water Use - Water Resources Management (ICG) and the Conflict Index by
Water Use - Water Resources Planning (icp), Water Security Index (ISH),
Moisture Index (Iu) and Social Vulnerability Index (IVS). The results showed that
the use of these indicators in the construction of the IVUSA constitutes an
integration of data that it satisfactorily represents the socio-environmental
vulnerability of the settlements.
Keywords: Drought; water use conflicts; multicriteria analysis; risk; public
