SUMMARY:

Natural disasters have been increasing in Brazil over the last three decades. The literature shows that their impacts are intensified in regions where there is a higher concentration of poor and vulnerable people. In view of this, this thesis, whose subject of study was natural disasters, was structured into three essays. The first aimed to analyze the evolution of scientific articles relating natural disasters and economics, identifying the main subjects covered throughout the period, highlighting current themes and possible gaps, using bibliometrics. The main results show that the focus of research has been on the economic impacts of post-disasters and the main gap found was the low number of studies attempting to identify the economic causes of natural disasters. The main objective of the second study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) in the FUs and its relationship with data relating to natural disasters and economic data, using the method known as Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA). The main results show the existence of spatial dependence of the SVI, as well as its correlation with the other study variables. Finally, the main objective of the third article was to analyze the relationship between environmental disasters and the population's perception of environmental problems, in Brazil and in the five major Brazilian regions, using an MQO model. The main conclusions show that the correlation exists especially in places where the incidence of monetary losses due to disasters is higher.
