ABSTRACT This 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. RESUMEN Esta es una discusion teorica sobre la vulnerabilidad social y la construccion de los indices de vulnerabilidad. El ejercicio empirico se llevo a cabo en la ciudad de Curitiba, sur de Brasil. El articulo se basa en dos enfoques conceptuales que revelan la complejidad de este tema, asi como de las necesidades basicas para la fijacion de prioridades, en terminos de accion, la reduccion del riesgo de eventos naturales adversos y la distribucion de los recursos en la recuperacion post-desastre. El contexto urbano es el de las ciudades brasilenas, que destaca las desigualdades en la forma en que los habitantes construyen, utilizan y transforman los sectores urbanos. La investigacion que aqui se presenta puede ser contextualizada en un escenario en el que las circunstancias adversas deberian afectar profundamente el desarrollo de politicas publicas urbanas. Su objetivo principal es contribuir a la identificacion de parametros para la canalizacion de recursos publicos en la preparacion para hacer frente a situaciones adversas.
