RESUMO

The purpose of this study is to relate commuting to social demographic and social environmental vulnerabilities. Many studies believe that several kinds of mobility can be considered as important elements to the understanding of the concept of the vulnerability. Initially we present the characteristics of the commuting and the commuters in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Area. After, we work on the concepts of vulnerability, assets and structure of opportunities. Finally, we compare the people who commute to those who don t, trying to identify the differences between those two groups of people and their exposure to vulnerable situations. We also try to confirm the existence of situations in which different groups show a higher vulnerability and which assets they can mobilize to deal with the difficulties of life, especially to those related to social demographic and social environmental risks.
