The objective of the article is to make the identification and spatial analysis of situations of socio-environmental vulnerability on an intra-urban scale in the municipality of Guarulhos-SP, developing an empirical operationalization of the concept of socio-environmental vulnerability, through the integration of sociodemographic indicators of the 2010 Demographic Census with cartographies that represent areas of environmental risk. The results reveal that certain areas, spread over the territory of the municipality and where 119 thousand people live, have high socio-environmental vulnerability and have significantly worse socioeconomic conditions than those areas with low and even moderate vulnerability. Therefore, the results of the article can provide subsidies for planning public policies to mitigate situations of socio-environmental vulnerability and adapt to climate change in the city of Guarulhos, in addition to contributing to the development of indicators and methodologies for analyzing vulnerability situations to climate change in urban and metropolitan areas of Brazil.
