Summary: This paper aims to understand the vulnerability and the adaptation process of farmers in the Rio das Contas basin, located in the Brazilian Northeast region. The vulnerability was analyzed using indexes representative of its three dimensions: sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity. To analyze the adoption of adaptation strategies, the Probit model was used. The main results indicated that the region has high levels of vulnerability, mainly due to the low values of adaptive capacity. The most relevant conditions for adaptation are related to the education level and the farmers´ agricultural training, as well as participation in irrigation projects, receiving technical assistance, geographic location, and degree of exposure to climate change. In this sense, public policies for the reduction of vulnerability should focus on strengthening regional socioeconomic conditions.

A vulnerabilidade foi analisada a partir de índices representativos de suas três dimensões: sensibilidade, exposição e capacidade adaptativa. Para analisar a adoção de estratégias de adaptação, utilizou-se o modelo Probit. Os principais resultados permitiram concluir que a região estudada possui níveis altos de vulnerabilidade, sobretudo devido aos baixos valores de capacidade adaptativa. Os condicionantes da adaptação mais relevantes se relacionam ao grau de escolaridade e à formação agropecuária dos agricultores, bem como à participação em projetos de irrigação, ao recebimento de assistência técnica, à localização geográfica e ao grau de exposição às mudanças climáticas. Nesse sentido, políticas públicas que visem ao combate à vulnerabilidade deveriam focar, sobretudo, no fortalecimento das condições socioeconômicas regionais.Associação Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos2020-02-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaaber.org.br/rberu/article/view/62410.54766/rberu.v14i1.624Revista Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2020): Brazilian Review of Regional and Urban Studies; 26-53Revista Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos; v. 14 n. 1 (2020): Revista Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos; 26-532447-7990reponame:Revista Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbano (ABER)instacron:ABERporhttps://revistaaber.org.br/rberu/article/view/624/307https://revistaaber.org.br/rberu/article/view/624/308Copyright (c) 2020 ABERinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Nogueira, Victor GastonSantos, Elizângela Aparecida dos Cunha, Dênis Antônio da2024-06-14T11:50:58Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/624Revistahttps://revistaaber.org.br/rberuONGhttps://revistaaber.org.br/rberu/oaiaber.revista@gmail.com2447-79901981-3953opendoar:2024-06-14T11:50:58Revista Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbano (ABER)false
