In this essay vulnerability profiles were created based on residences in two districts of Santos (Embaré and Morro Nova Cintra), which are characterized as urban expansion areas in this city. Such profiles were related to the risks and hazards that climate change may result from the districts participation in the city?s socio-spatial dynamics, through analysis of the populations social, economical, and demographic characteristics. The profiles descriptions were based on the Grade of Membership (GoM) and the 2010 Demographic Census. The results show that despite differences in the recent evolution of the two districts, both populations have difficulties in mobilizing resources to confront the dangers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
