De la vulnérabilité individuelle aux syndromes de vulnérabilité: quelles mesures ?

Abstract: To improve the characterization of populations exposed to social, economic or environmental risks in order to adapt prevention and adaptation policies : such is the new challenge for research in various disciplines that work in this field, each with its own conceptual approaches and specific methods. However, taking into consideration the complexity of events makes vulnerability a transdisciplinary object only described through multiscalar and multitemporal integrated approaches. On the basis of field cases in developing countries, the authors show how it might be possible to link the vulnerability of individuals or households to that of the ecosociosystems in which they are embedded.
