Fernández análisis de vulnerabilidad desastres vulnerability analysis disasters Throughout its history, Salta has been affected by several disasters, hydrometeorological ones have been the most prevalent. It is accepted that for a disaster situation to happen, a threat must operate on a vulnerable community; i.e., the degree of exposure of a family or a community in case of harmful hazards, and their failure or inability to protect themselves.We performed a descriptive analysis of the database corresponding to the information about the province of Salta gathered through the National Census of Population and Housing 2001, processed with Redatam + SP Process. Indexes were made according to the methodology employed by Melina Con, based on sizes: overcrowding, quality of building materials, dependency burden on income earners, access to health care, and learning aspects of the home. Results show that the furthest areas from the central region are the most neglected ones, mainly those in the eastern area of the province of Salta. An important number of households accumulate 2 or more dimensions of vulnerability. A lo largo de su historia, la provincia de Salta ha sido afectada por distintos tipos de desastres, siendo aquellosde origen hidrometeorológico los más predominantes. Seacepta que para que se produzca una situación de desastre, una amenaza debe operar sobre una comunidad en situación de vulnerabilidad, esto es el grado de exposición de una familia o una comunidad, dada la probabilidad de ocurrencia de un peligro potencialmente dañino, y la insuficiencia o incapacidad de protegerse.Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la base de datoscorrespondiente a los datos de la provincia de Salta del Censo Nacional de Población y Vivienda del año 2001, procesados a través de Redatam + SP Process. Se construyeron índices de acuerdo a la metodología empleada por Melina Con, a partir de las dimensiones: hacinamiento del hogar, calidad de los materiales de la vivienda, carga de dependencia sobre los perceptores de ingresos, las posibilidades de acceso al sistema de salud, y aspectos educativos del hogar. Los resultados obtenidos dan cuenta de que las zonas más alejadas a la región centro son las más postergadas y fundamentalmentelos departamentos de la región este de la provincia de Salta.Se destaca la cantidad de hogares que acumulan 2 o másdimensiones de vulnerabilidad.
