Talk:Social vulnerability

Untitled

I would like to update and improve this article on Social Vulnerability, however, those who tagged the article did not comment on how to improve it. Specific suggestions appreciated.

I've updated the tags. Have fun updating the article. There's a lot of work to be done here. ʍαμ$ʏ5043 16:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Model Diagrams

model diagrams for the RH and PAR models should be added (otherwise I will do them myself as soon as I am autoconfirmed) Heds 1 (talk) 20:33, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

General restructuring of article

Hi all, I am working on this article for a university class and am planning on restructuring the article as follows to reorient the bulk of the article to focus more on social vulnerability to natural hazards. Below are some of the basic changes that I will be making:

- Combine 'History of the concept' and the beginning of 'Within society' sections, as well as condense them and add sources properly

- Make the 'models' its own section

- Change 'current and future research' into a general section that will overview prominent social vulnerability indexes, as well as their uses, and intentions

- Move content of 'collective vulnerability' under a 'types' subheading that can be listed in the 'definitions' section

Happy to take any suggestions! 90m4in (talk) 00:42, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

Glad to see someone active in the talk page so recently!

There are a few things I think we can fix up tremendously.

• I have added an image from the CDC/ATSDR website showing SVI variables
• The CDC site has A LOT of literature published listed here we can pull from.
• The citation style needs a major overhaul.
• We may consider a merge between this page and Vulnerability index

Suggestions for improvement Apr 2025

I have reviewed this article on April 24, 2025. I am leaving the following suggestions:

Lead section: Was already flagged that it was really not sufficient. Could still use a lot more work to signpost the article.

Content: Found the research cited in Collective vulnerability on humanitarian norms a bit confusing. Could be more clearly discussed, e.g. are there conflicting results in the literature? As a non-expert, I see some contradictions in the results but am confused as to why violence makes people both more intolerant of human rights violations and less supportive of humanitarian norms. This needs clarification.
