Background: The United Nations 2030 Agenda involves a multifactorial
system through 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The 11th is directly
linked with urban sustainability, but all the goals should be considered.
The diagnosis of urban environments is a complex challenge given the
large number of involved factors, especially in vulnerable areas where
urban and social problems often co-exist.
Methods: The proposed methodology is carried out in two stages. Firstly,
an up-down approach is conducted to obtain data on urban vulnerability,
from secondary sources. The information is disaggregated territorially,
which does not necessarily fit the reality of the social fabric. Secondly, a
bottom-up approach is performed, where the ad-hoc information
provided by the Social Services experts, leads to three dimensions to
evaluate social vulnerability.
Results: As a result, a Vulnerability Index of Social Services (IVSS) is
obtained from the linear combination of the normalized indicators,
calculated from the selected variables, and weighted according to social
services experts. The model is transferred to maps using Geographic
Information Systems to identify the areas of priority intervention in the
municipality. By way of example, the model was developed in the
municipality of Vinaroz (E Spain). The model could be extrapolated to
other contexts, by adapting the model to the site.
Conclusions: Sharing information among Local Administrations
departments, such as Urbanism and Social Services, has proved very
useful to reach more equitable urban planning. This enforces the crosscutting perspective included by the 2030 Agenda motto “leave no-one
behind” (LNOB) and contributes to social equity. [-]
