摘要: Current climate change projections indicate that heavy rainfall is an increasing problem in many areas around the world, including Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region, Brazil. This will result severe flooding and landslides upcoming years. Therefore, geography of vulnerability vital to adaptation planning. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping tools such as digital elevation models (DEM), this chapter identifies main affected by floods landslides. We characterize their biophysical dimensions socio-economic status. In turn, we not only focus on physical environment but examine socio-political determinants vulnerability. Overall, highlight which are vulnerable what can expect 2030.
