Abstract

This paper presents a methodology that allows the identification of agricultural zones vulnerability due to meteorological drought in Mexico. The proposal uses multivariate evaluation techniques, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), standardization and statistical analysis.

The methodological validation process was developed and approved in the State of Mexico territory, where indicators suggested by methodological guide of the INECC and UNPN were select and applied.

Also the analysis by thematic overload of variables to process the information was carried out. As result, exposure mapping, sensitivity, resilience and agricultural vulnerability were developed.

Index words: vulnerability; multivariate evaluation; GIS; resilience; drought.
