ABSTRACT: This paper is about the
assessment of social vulnerability (SV) as a critical component of
comprehensive disaster risk assessment. This study was conducted in Medina
Gounass Dakar, Senegal, to bring out evidence that flooding was a threat to
human security. The aim of this present study is to assess the social
vulnerability to flood in Medina Gounass. Survey was carried out using
structured questionnaires drawn on one hundred randomly selected households.
For vulnerability assessment, the Methods for the Improvement of Vulnerability
Assessment in Europe (MOVE) framework
and Arc GIS are used to characterize vulnerability through three key factors,
namely, 1) exposure, 2) susceptibility, and 3) lack of resilience. As a result,
Medina Gounass inhabitants have a particular relationship with the place they
have been living for decades. Although facing diseases and many challenges in their everyday
life, people actually resist the government’s relocation projects because of their symbolic
relationship with the area.
