Abstract
In the context of current discussions regarding the human dimensions of climatic change it is essential the location and characterization of the populations in situations of risk and the evaluation of how vulnerable such populations are to extreme climatic events.
To perform the analysis we consider the data relative to the area susceptible to landslides and its respective volume of population resident and potentially vulnerable to geological accidents. This data was plotted in a Lorentz Curve to allow an evaluation of the relationship between the volumes of population in relation to the extension of the vulnerable area.
The integration of the environmental dimension with the human dimension gives us a product that can be used to help in the creation of policies to prevent and to mitigate the impact resulting from extreme climatic events and also allows the comparison between different regions.
