Abstract

The urban territories which inhabitants are in situation or risk of social vulnerability are located almost exclusively by means of statistical procedures. For various reasons, may not be seen spaces that, consequently, would be excluded from possible public interventions. The qualitative identification is an alternative, but it is scarcely used, up to the point of not having been found in Spain studies destined to limit the urban vulnerability in this way. In view of this absence has designed a subjective methodology to detect spaces vulnerable, unifying various tools, and has been implemented in three urban spaces with distinct characteristics, obtaining as a result the identification of disadvantaged environments, some of which had not been able to be detected statistically
