An indication is provided of some first steps in interpreting projections for environmental risks and hazards in terms of possible implications for settlements at this regional level. The presentation concludes with some reflections on the challenges and breakthroughs experienced within this exercise, as well as implications for on-going and future research. This paper contributes to the current discourse and body of research by providing an overview of, and reflection on, innovative attempts at exploring the vulnerability of settlements in South Africa in a more integrated and place specific way, as conducted within the ambit of the South African Risk and Vulnerability Atlas (SARVA).enSocio-economic vulnerabilityRegional levelBiennial Southern Africa Society for Disaster ReductionUrban growthSocio-ecological systemsSouth African risk and vulnerability atlasSpatial analysesConference PresentationFaling, W., Van Huyssteen, E., & Le Roux, A.
