MUNOZ-VERA, Francisco  e  ROJAS-HERNANDEZ, Jorge. Social vulnerability in households displaced by the 2010 earthquake and tsunami in the village of Dichato, Bío-Bío Region, Chile. GOT [online]. 2018, n.13, pp.289-314. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.13.013.

This article describes the levels of social vulnerability in households displaced in the village of Dichato after the 2010 earthquake and tsunami. Vulnerability assets (i.e., physical, economic and social resources available to individuals) play a fundamental role in facing conditions that have been deeply disrupted by natural disasters. A multimethod approach identifies the assets and strategies households applied to mobilize such resources during an emergency camp stay. An index was developed, through a factorial correspondence analysis, to identify underlying vulnerability factors, namely, vulnerability constraints and adaptation mechanisms. These factors describe both restrictions and capabilities of families to face a highly social complex context.
