Research on establishing synthetic evaluation indices of the vulnerability of regional social and economic system

This paper defines the vulnerability of regional social and economic system. According to the principles of establishing evaluation indices, this paper attempts to construct a set of synthetic evaluation indices, including the most important causes of vulnerability produced by natural resources, population and artificial causes, and the results of vulnerability showing the economic, social and natural disaster results. The weights of the various indices are calculated by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). It is the foundation to study the vulnerability of regional social and economic system.
