The municipality of Caucaia, state of Ceará, is characterized by a natural diversity, social and economic visible in the landscape: areas of high population density, such as housing, built in the 1980, which attracted to its surroundings, peripheral settlements and shanty towns; linear occupation following the coast, with coastal metropolitazação, due to the implementation of second homes, condos and tourist resorts; and industrial activities along the BR 222 and near the Port of Pecém. In the landscape, there is evidence of a strong social inequality, revealing areas, which concentrates a population of low vulnerability, while others more vulnerable, in that income and the educational level of heads of household and housing conditions and infrastructure are poor. These conditions make it difficult for residents to seize the opportunity structures or overcome adversity. This thesis aims to analyze the socio-spatial transformations in Caucaia, a result of public policies in the last decade, emphasizing the debate on social vulnerability. This research analyzed changes in social vulnerability index (SVI) 2000 and 2010, drawn from population census data from IBGE, the scale of census tracts, based on the methodology adopted by the Observatório da Metrópoles - Fortaleza. To validate the indexes used the mathematical software (SPSS). Based on the 2000 and 2010 IVS maps, field work was carried out to compare the figures tabulated with reality. It found most vulnerable in the least urbanized districts, that is, predominantly rural population, as is the case of predominantly rural districts of Sitíos Novos, Tuncunduba and Mirambé. The most urban districts showed greater heterogeneity as the IVS, with census tracts with high vulnerability, areas of subnormal agglomerates and low vulnerability as the housing, Nova Metrópole and Novo Araturi. In the city, there is the Jurema district, subject to a more qualitative research, which is distinguished by concentrating housing (ten) and intense relationship with the city having a population of 129.000 inhabitants, more than many municipalities in Ceará, and a population density of 7.657.38 in habitants per km², the largest in the county.
