Abstract— Analyzing the conditions of infrastructure, health and social
vulnerability of a municipality allows to know its weaknesses and enhance
decision-making by managers and civil society. Given the above, this
article aimed to analyze the conditions of infrastructure and health and
their correlations with social vulnerability in the city of Petrolina-PE, in
2010. To this end, the study used quantitative analysis as a methodology
through the graphical interface of the Statistical Program R, with data on
infrastructure and health from the Atlas of Social Vulnerability being
collected. The municipality of Petrolina-PE, currently with 350 thousand
inhabitants, is located in the Sertão de Pernambuco, Northeast region of
Brazil and is part of the Integrated Administrative Development Region
(RIDE) of the Petrolina and Juazeiro Complex. After analyzing the
Municipal Human Development Index; per carpita income; the
percentage of people in households with inadequate water supply and
sanitation; mortality up to 5 years of age; the population that lives in
urban households without the garbage collection service; and the
vulnerability index of urban infrastructure and human capital, the
research findings indicated, in general, that the housing units in Petrolina
have a low correlation between the population of each unit and the
infrastructure index, thus, it was noted that the management model needs
improvement to promote development and reduce inequalities.
I. INTRODUCTION
The Integrated Administrative Development Region
(RIDE) Juazeiro - Petrolina has undergone profound
changes in its economic and social structure, being
responsible for providing a significant financial
contribution to the country, however, the RIDE's appear
as a mechanism for integration and regional development
in the search for the promotion of projects that aim at the
economic dynamization of low development territories
(BRASIL, 2014).
Thus, strategies can be adopted to promote dialogue
with the RIDE communities, with the urban space, issues
such as poverty, the implementation of public policies, the
participation of civil society in public decisions, the
creation of instances of dialogues between society, and the
