O presente trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar o risco nas comunidades Mazagão 1 e José da Silva Sobral, a partir de indicadores sociais de vulnerabilidade e ambientais de perigo para movimentos de massa. Para isso, buscou-se inicialmente o levantamento bibliográfico, respaldando-se em autores que trabalham com as temáticas de riscos e vulnerabilidade, e foram realizadas atividades de campo, as quais possibilitaram a aplicação dos questionários de vulnerabilidade social e das fichas de exposição a movimentos de massa, além de permitir a realização de registros fotográficos. A partir da sistematização dos dados de vulnerabilidade social e de exposição, permitiu-se estabelecer as características mais presentes nas comunidades, indicando os elementos mais críticos, os quais colaboram para que haja risco de movimentos de massa, apontando então para a necessidade de pesquisas que venham a estudar profundamente a situação, podendo vir a propor medidas mitigadoras diretamente aplicáveis à área de risco.Palavras-chave: Vulnerabilidade; Perigo; Desastre. ABSTRACTThe present work aims to characterize the risk in the communities Mazagão 1 and José da Silva Sobral, considering social indicators of vulnerability and environmental indicators of danger to mass movements.

The main objective of this study is to quantify racial victimization differential between Blacks and Whites in Brazil, focusing on homicides and physical assaults. Combining socioeconomic data from the Brazilian Household Survey with data from the Mortality Information System, we apply the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition to isolate the racial discrimination component from the social indicators correlated with homicides and physical assaults. Findings indicate that only part of the victimization differential between Blacks and Whites is explained by structural attributes. A significant portion of this differential (at least 40%) for both homicides and physical assaults persists as evidence of racial discrimination. In addition, both for homicides and physical assaults, a more discriminatory scenario is observed in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, regions historically characterized by higher social inequalities and violent mortality.

The social indicators movement has been a disappointment to its originators. By the late 1970s, at least in the US, the great hopes for social indicators to become a major influence on public policy had been tempered. The outpouring of literature using the term ‘social indicators’ dwindled. Policy scientists turned their attention to other topics or found new labels for their interests. The Social Science Research Council closed its Social Indicators Research Center in Washington, DC and stopped publishing its newsletter. And in the US no annual social report seemed likely to be institutionalized. Many observers decided the social indicators movement was a failure.

El concepto de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) refleja hoy en día el resurgimiento de valores en la sociedad, además manifiesta la necesidad que tienen las empresas de involucrarse en la sociedad civil a través de sus iniciativas, no tan sólo como generadoras de proyectos aislados que las conecten con su entorno, sino integrándolas como parte de su estrategia empresarial. En este ensayo se presenta la herramienta Balance Social (BS), un tema que tiene sus orígenes en la RSE, modelo adoptado en Chile en el año 1975, desde la primera experiencia registrada en la Asociación Chilena de Seguridad (ACHS). La herramienta toma en cuenta los aspectos sociales que contempla una entidad hacia adentro, los denominados agentes internos, es decir los trabajadores en sus distintos niveles de la organización. Se darán a conocer modelos de Balance Social, por medio de análisis de su diseño e influencia a tomar en consideración y el tipo de empresa en que se aplique. El aporte de este ensayo, es dejar manifiesto que el Balance Social transformaría los tradicionales indicadores sociales que presentan algunas entidades en insumos reales, y a su vez serviría como una herramienta práctica para representar la RSE de una empresa. AbstractThe concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) today reflects the resurgence of values in society, also expressed the need for companies to engage in civil society through initiatives, not just as isolated projects that generate connection them to their environment but integrating them as part of their business strategy. In this test the Social Balance (BS) tool, an issue that has its origins in the CSR model adopted in Chile in 1975, since the first recorded experience in the Chilean Safety Association (ACHS) presented. The tool takes into account the social aspects covered entity inward-called insiders, i.e., workers at different levels of the organization. They will be released models of Social Balance, through design analysis and influence to consider and type of business in which it applied. The contribution of this paper is to leave clear that the Social Balance transforms traditional social indicators that have some real input entities, and in turn serve as a practical tool to represent a company CSR.

The priorities in the design of more sustainable buildings are quite dependent on the specific social context. In developing countries, the sustainability concept and priorities in the residential buildings sector are quite different from the ones of the developed countries, since there are still basic needs to answer. Therefore, this research is aimed at contributing to a better understanding of the concept of social sustainability in the residential building sector of the developing countries. A methodology to define and prioritise the social sustainability indicators is proposed and applied in the context of Palestine. The presented methodology is based on the sustainability indicators of international standards, on the most well know building sustainability assessment methods and in the analysis of their application to a specific context. It includes a methodology to prioritise the list of social indicators, by considering the expectations of two groups of building stakeholders: designers and building users. At the end, this research proposes a framework of social aspects to consider in the design of more sustainable residential buildings in West Bank, Palestine that is composed of twenty-one indicators, distributed among six sustainability categories and ranked according to their weight in the overall of sustainability level.

AbstractAlthough the notion of social indicators became a topic of scientific discussion in the Federal Republic of Germany only in 1971, there are today already quite a number of publications as well as research projects centering on this new concept. Research workers and authors, respectively, of these have joined together in the ‘Social Indicators’ Section of the German Sociological Association. The present report underlines the necessity for scientists, administrators, and politicians, to co-operate on the task of developing this new measuring tool; it also discusses some of the difficulties connected with this venture.
