Abstract
This paper presents a bibliographical review on the concept and methods of identifying vulnerability in urban areas. From systematic bibliographic searches, the main concepts that orbit around vulnerability are defined, as well as their concretion around the most disadvantaged groups or groups such as women, children, the elderly or immigrants. Subsequently, the causes that are usually presented to explain the phenomenon and its different variants or typologies, environmental, social, economic, residential or subjective, are analyzed. In addition, it also outlines the main methods that, from variables and indices, have been formulated to try to measure and visualize socio-spatial inequalities in a multidimensional way. Finally, geodemographic analysis is presented as another approach to the analysis of socio-spatial differentiation from Sociology and Urban geography.
