Pobreza, Vulnerabilidade e Desenvolvimento no Território Rural Zona Sul: o que aponta o Índice de Condição de Vida?

The paper presents the Living Conditions Index’s construction (LCI), based on the Capability Approach and on the Livelihoods Approach, and its application in Território Rural Zona Sul do Rio Grande do Sul. The research sought to reflect about the existence (or not) of concrete or potential situations of vulnerability and poverty. For this, the ICV’s results were analysed by indicators and by instances. The results showed that families were not exposed, a priori, to situations of vulnerability and poverty. However, given the proven existence of privations to achieve a higher welfare level, a question was made about a possible situation of resignedly accommodation within which these families could be immersed.

本论文阐述了基于能力方法（Capability Approach）与生计方法（Livelihoods Approach）构建的生活状况指数（Living Conditions Index，LCI），及其在巴西南里奥格兰德州南部乡村地区（Território Rural Zona Sul do Rio Grande do Sul）的应用。本研究旨在探讨是否存在具体或潜在的脆弱性与贫困境况。为此，本研究通过指标与案例维度对LCI的测算结果展开分析。分析结果显示，从先验视角来看，受访家庭并未面临脆弱性与贫困状况。然而，鉴于已有实证表明这些家庭存在难以企及更高生活水准的匮乏状况，由此引出一个疑问：这些家庭是否正深陷一种逆来顺受的被动适应处境？
