Abstract
In this work we analyze the relationship among: 1) Certain environmental risks: Flood problems, Earthquakes, Tornadoes and Soil degradation, 2) Demographic dynamics (inter census growth and migratory balances) and 3) Grade of Life Level Quality of Argentinian people. We use a G eographical Information System (GIS ) in which we have done the digitalization of the respective layers of environmental risks. Following, we examine the information on demographic dynamics. At last, we present a synthetic index of the population’s Life Quality, which was elaborated starting from a combination of weighted indicators of environmental and socioeconomic dimensions (education, health and housing). The next step is to study the demographic behaviour and the grade of well-being of Argentina’s people different segments for each one of the environmental risks. We start from an operation of overlapping of different layers (for example: flood risk, growth rate, migration balance, etc). All previous stepladder let us size and compare the obtained Life Quality Index with Demographic Dynamics according to the degree of affectation of each one of the considered physical-environmental events. Finally we can establish the future scenario by projecting these phenomena impacts into the process of global environmental change.

In this work we will study the relationship among environmental risks, demographic dynamics and the life quality level of Argentinian people
We will use a Geographical Information System (GIS) in which we have done the digitization of the respective layers of environmental risks
We will be prepared, in the following point, to examine the information on demographic dynamics for, at last, present a synthetic index of the population’s life quality, which was elaborated starting from a combination of weighted indicators of environmental and socioeconomic dimensions
Summary
The item explains the relationship among the different variables. We have done the digitization of respective layers of environmental risks and overlap them on an Argentina map, which is divided not in counties, even in departments (comunas). Scenario to future: At the end, we explain our conclusions about present and future in relationship among population behaviour, environmental risks and life quality in Argentina. In this sense, it is not very probable that the Argentinian population can emigrate massively due to environmental problems. According to the projection of heating of 4 grades Celsius for the year 2100, it is expected that there will be an increment of aridity problems in Argentine territory, fundamentally in the west These problems could be solved redistributing the industrial water and energetic consumption better, with infrastructure tasks to supply them to residential uses, restricting the sumptuary demand and, at last, with internal population displacements
