“…Regression results indicate that households living in poverty are more vulnerable to floods, especially in the Quang Tho commune, as reflected by their higher LVI-IPCC index. These results are consistent with previous studies Huynh et al, 2020;Mogomotsi et al, 2020;Ngu et al, 2023;Phuong et al, 2022;Sen et al, 2020;Vo et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2019). Poverty is a significant factor that limits the ability of communities to mitigate risks, cope with natural events, and recover from damages caused by them (Dinh et al, 2021).…”

In the midst of increasing global uncertainties, understanding household vulnerability to disaster risks and identifying the most susceptible individuals and communities has become an urgent concern. This study assesses and compares the flood vulnerability of two communities, Quang Tho and Quang Phuoc, in Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam. The study utilizes primary data collected in 2022 from 280 rural households whose livelihood sources are agriculture and fishery. Flood vulnerability is determined by applying the Livelihood Vulnerability Index based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's definition (LVI-IPCC) approach. Our analysis reveals that both communities exhibit moderate vulnerability to flood hazards across various dimensions. Notably, fishing-only communities are found to be more vulnerable to flooding compared to mixed agri-fishery farmers. Additionally, we have identified several factors that exacerbate vulnerability, including poverty, low education levels, single parenthood, limited resources, narrow livelihood strategies, and inadequate social connections. Therefore, development policies and disaster risk reduction programs should prioritize disadvantaged groups, focusing on promoting social inclusion and gender equality in accessing services and public resources. It is concluded that tailored disaster risk management and rural livelihood development initiatives are crucial to addressing each community's specific vulnerabilities and challenges, fostering resilience, and thus reducing future risks. Achieving greater sustainability and equilibrium for vulnerable groups necessitates continuous action and investment.

“…The use of a comparative perspective in research allows for a more comprehensive approach to social reality than the analysis of a single area and/or single disaster event. Moreover, numerous research studies have shown that the differential impact of disasters on men and women is due to gender inequalities that exist before the event (Austin and McKinney 2016;Aheeyar et al 2019;Petraroli and Baars 2022;Ngu et al 2023). In this sense, conducting comparative studies allows us to demonstrate that this differential impact is not something incidental that only occurs in one place or disaster, but something that is the result of structural gender inequalities and the extent to which it is similar or not in different areas and/or types of disaster.…”

Socioenvironmental disasters are extraordinary occurrences which produce serious consequences for the impacted population. This impact is not immune to gender effects, as various studies has shown that after such a disaster there is an increase in economic inequality and the social vulnerability of women. Through the research reported in this article we have explored this issue in more detail, analysing the effects that the earthquakes that hit the Dominican Republic (2003), Honduras (2007 and 2009) and Haiti (2010) had on gender relations, making comparisons between urban and rural areas. To examine the impact of these disasters, the data source employed was the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) developed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Using the Differences in Differences technique (DID), our results reveal that, although the whole population was affected by the disaster, the impact was more intense in households headed by a woman, especially those in rural areas.
