APPROACHES OF UNDERSTANDING DEVELOPMENTS OF VULNERABILITY INDICES FOR NATURAL DISASTERS

This paper states research of traditions to develop and analyze vulnerability indices, a compendium variety related to vulnerability indices, theoretical approaches, to natural hazards developed up to date. The paper focuses on vulnerability indices progression and the new wave directions of different scholars to develop an unflinching method, through managing social, economic, environmental, physical and institutional components all together; using variable indicators is a tempting prospect for the future, but the quantification of vulnerability in general and social vulnerability in special has to focus on wise-minded approach, overall, vulnerability index to natural hazards.
