Abstract: The objective of this paper was to propose a scale of socio-environmental vulnerability capable of presenting the municipalities with exploration activities of natural resources in a hierarchical way, considering the level of criticality of this factor. Theoretically developed, the socio-environmental vulnerability was operationalized by observable socioeconomic and environmental indicators from machine learning techniques and the Rasch model. The value presented by each municipality for these aspects served as the basis for obtaining the measure of the socio-environmental vulnerability of the local population and elaboration of vulnerability levels. From the scale, the importance of Financial Compensation (FC) was observed to deal with the socio-environmental vulnerability. The results pointed to a scenario marked by municipalities with medium and high vulnerability, with weak or almost non-existent correlations between FC and these factors. The scale offers subsidies that can encourage more equitably FC arrangements, considering the respective levels of vulnerability of the municipalities.
