一个分析社会脆弱性的框架概述，在评估气候变化和极端气候的影响，在很大程度上低估的一个方面。本文将脆弱性定义为个人或集体群体因这种环境变化的影响而面临生计压力。它由个人和集体方面组成，这些方面可以分解，但通过市场和机构的政治经济联系在一起。对越南北方沿海地区的研究表明，与越南从中央计划经济转型相关的一些制度和经济因素，即防止极端事件的集体行动的崩溃和日益倾斜的收入，提高了基线社会脆弱性。抵消这些趋势的是与越南经济结构调整和市场转型演变的动态性质相关的其他制度变化，这些变化降低了脆弱性。(C)1999 Elsevier Science Ltd，保留所有权利。
A framework for analyzing social vulnerability is outlined, an aspect largely underemphasized in assessments of the impacts of climate change and climate extremes. Vulnerability is defined in this paper as the exposure of individuals or collective groups to livelihood stress as a result of the impacts of such environmental change. It is constituted by individual and collective aspects which can be disaggregated, but are linked through the political economy of markets and institutions. Research in coastal northern Vietnam shows that baseline social vulnerability is enhanced by some institutional and economic factors associated with Vietnam's economic transition from central planning, namely the breakdown of collective action on protection from extreme events and an increasingly skewed income. Offsetting these trends are other institutional changes associated with the dynamic nature of the economic restructuring and evolution of the market transition in Vietnam, which decrease vulnerability.
