abstract: 'Urban decision-makers in South Africa face growing challenges related to
|
||||
|
||||
rapidly expanding populations and a changing climate. To help target
|
||||
|
||||
limited resources, municipalities have begun to conduct climate change
|
||||
|
||||
vulnerability assessments. Many of these assessments take a holistic
|
||||
|
||||
approach that combines both physical hazard exposure and the underlying
|
||||
|
||||
socio-economic conditions that predispose populations to harm (i.e.,
|
||||
|
||||
social vulnerability). Given the increasing use of socio-economic
|
||||
|
||||
conditions in climate change vulnerability analyses, this paper seeks to
|
||||
|
||||
explore two key research questions: 1) can the spatial distribution of
|
||||
|
||||
relative social vulnerability be estimated in six mostly urban South
|
||||
|
||||
African municipalities, and if so, 2) how sensitive are the results to a
|
||||
|
||||
range of subjective methodological choices often required when
|
||||
|
||||
implementing this type of analysis. Here, social vulnerability is
|
||||
|
||||
estimated using socio-economic and demographic data from the 2001 and
|
||||
|
||||
2011 South African censuses. In all six municipalities, social
|
||||
|
||||
vulnerability varies spatially, driven primarily by differences in
|
||||
|
||||
income, assets, wealth, employment and education, and secondarily by
|
||||
|
||||
differences in access to services and demographics. Even though social
|
||||
|
||||
vulnerability is estimated from a wide array of population
|
||||
|
||||
characteristics, the spatial distribution is surprising similar to that
|
||||
|
||||
of the percent of working-age individuals making less than 800 rand per
|
||||
|
||||
month. Areas with high percentages of previously disadvantaged, extended
|
||||
|
||||
family, and informal households tend to display relatively higher levels
|
||||
|
||||
of social vulnerability. In fact, demographics (e.g., race, language,
|
||||
|
||||
age) are often highly correlated with other characteristics that have
|
||||
|
||||
direct ties to social vulnerability (e.g., income, employment,
|
||||
|
||||
education). The spatial patterns of relative social vulnerability are
|
||||
|
||||
similar in 2001 and 2011. However, there is some evidence social
|
||||
|
||||
vulnerability is relatively lower in 2011. While the choice of input
|
||||
|
||||
data and aggregation method can affect the spatial distribution of
|
||||
|
||||
social vulnerability, the general spatial patterns appear to be fairly
|
||||
|
||||
robust across a number of subjective choices related to methodological
|
||||
|
||||
and aggregation approach, spatial resolution, and input data.'
