Social network analysis, Indigenous People, Adaptation, Vulnerability, Adaptive measuresAbstract
Studies show Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a successful methodology within the environmental
sciences. In the present study, this methodology was implemented in the Tuxás indigenous community
in Bahia-Brazil, to understand the configuration of interaction and information flow of the people and
their multilevel relationship to face the environmental problem of drought. By creating networks by
scale, we identify actors and their roles within the community, characterising the centrality of actors
and their internal and external relationships to create adaptive strategic actions that strengthen the
links between them and local and regional initiatives. For data collection, structured interviews were
conducted with key informants using the snowball methodology. As a result, the SNA made it possible
to identify links, bottlenecks and potential institutions to reduce the vulnerability of the traditional
population and to identify adequate ways to promote adaptation and solve environmental problems.
