Vulnerabilities Analysis Matrix


Vulnerabilities Analysis Matrix :

A practical and diagnostic tool in the form of a simple matrix which measures vulnerabilities and capacities in three broad and interrelated areas (i.e., physical/material, social/organizational, and motivational/attitudinal) Other factors are added to the matrix to reflect a complex reality such as disaggregation by gender or economic factors, changes over time, different scales etc.). The benefits of the matrix are that it is practical and broad-based, linking the many different aspects of vulnerabilities and capacities. Limitations to the approach include that on its own the matrix does not provide indicators of vulnerabilities and capacities but only an overarching framework, and that applied alone, it tends to underestimate the significance of natural hazards by concentrating on human aspects of disaster.
