“…At the same time, large and well-intentioned social governmental programs may also generate externalities that aggravate long observed vulnerabilities. These programs, by recognizing social and financial limitations to transform entire cities, have channeled efforts to more pragmatic and risky solutions, implemented partial interventions, legalized squatted lots and kept dwellers in their original but sometimes still improper areas (Ultramari & Firkowski, 2012). Despite the fact that this approach may be considered appropriate if juxtaposed to scarcity of resources and to the emergency reality reveals, it does not fully eliminate the submission of this very same population to immediate impacts of natural disasters.…”

This is a discussion on social vulnerability and the construction of a warning system in a broader scenario of non-fulfilled demands and increasing risks, aiming at the elaboration of public policies concerning natural disasters in urban areas. Empirical exercise takes place in the city of Curitiba, Southern Brazil. Article is based on both conceptual approaches revealing complexity of such topic as well as on risk reduction action facing natural adverse events. Case study describes a statistical procedure to identify risks and allow preparedness action taking place 24 hours before events. Urban context is that of Brazilian cities, revealing persistent spatial inequalities in the way inhabitants build, use, and transform urban compartments. Research presented can be contextualized in a scenario where adverse phenomena should deeply influence the elaboration of long term urban public policies but, according to a necessary pragmatism, also indicate emergency tailored actions. Conclusions indicate that 1. Urban management institutional framework can count on models to predict flooding impacts and reduce human and economic losses, and 2. Expertise in emergency action cannot lure the need for structural changes and long-term planning actions.

“…Sin ignorar las diferencias entre lo expresado como intención y la práctica, es posible reconocer que la incorporación de la cuestión socioambiental, ya convertida en una auténtica cuestión urbana determinante de su gestión, no responde solamente al reconocimiento de la función social de la propiedad, sino también a la defensa de la participación de la comunidad y la prioridad dada a la atención de las necesidades de los grupos más desfavorecidos (Ultramari y Rezende, 2006). Los cambios que se han producido en este ámbito en las últimas cuatro décadas han sido aparentemente acelerados; si se los considera en el contexto más amplio de la historia de las ciudades brasileñas, se constata que son producto de un largo proceso, no lineal, de reconsideración del modo en que se concibe el objeto y los conflictos entre múltiples intereses.…”

“…Según Ultramari y Rezende (2006), en el corto período de cuatro décadas se identifica una gestión orientada al desarrollo en los años ochenta, que sustituye a la orientación "administrativa" de la década anterior. Dicha sustitución representa un avance con respecto a la época en la que el principal compromiso de las autoridades locales era la provisión de infraestructura y servicios urbanos.…”

“…Current urban policies in the country, by recognizing social and financial limitations to transform entire cities, have channelled efforts to more pragmatic solutions comprehending acupunctural interventions, legalization of squatted areas, and maintenance of original people in their occupied lots (Ultramari, 2006). If this approach may be considered appropriate mostly because of legal property rights grants, it does not fully eliminate the submission of large groups of the population to the immediate impacts of natural disasters.…”

Brazil. His main areas of interest and research are land use legislation, natural accidents and their impacts on urban land use, assessment of large urban projects, and conceptual aspects of the city. He has written many articles and books on these subjects, mostly in Portuguese. He also serves as an advisor on dissertations and theses concerning his areas of expertise. His current research project is focused on the role of international aid agencies in disaster recovery action. ABSTRACTThis is a theoretical discussion on social vulnerability and on the construction of vulnerability indexes. Empirical exercise takes place in the city of Curitiba, Southern Brazil. Article is based on both conceptual approaches revealing complexity of such topic as well as on empirical demands to establish priorities in terms of risk reduction action facing natural adverse events and distribution of resources in post-disaster recovery. Urban context is that of Brazilian cities, revealing recurrent inequalities in the way inhabitants build, use, and transform urban compartments. Research presented here can be contextualized in a scenario where adverse phenomena should deeply influence the elaboration of urban public policies. Its main target is to contribute to the identification of parameters to channel public resources in preparedness actions facing adverse situations. RESUMENEsta es una discusión teórica sobre la vulnerabilidad social y la construcción de los índices de vulnerabilidad. El ejercicio empírico se llevó a cabo en la ciudad de Curitiba, sur de Brasil. El artículo se basa en dos enfoques conceptuales que revelan la complejidad de este tema, así como de las necesidades básicas para la fijación de prioridades, en términos de acción, la reducción del riesgo de eventos naturales adversos y la distribución de los recursos en la recuperación post-desastre. El contexto urbano es el de las ciudades brasileñas, que destaca las desigualdades en la forma en que los habitantes construyen, utilizan y transforman los sectores urbanos. La investigación que aquí se presenta puede ser contextualizada en un escenario en el que las circunstancias adversas deberían afectar profundamente el desarrollo de políticas públicas urbanas. Su objetivo principal es contribuir a la identificación de parámetros para la canalización de recursos públicos en la preparación para hacer frente a situaciones adversas.
