Cover Story: This study presents a new approach for the comprehensive vulnerability assessment of urban areas. The developed approach merges the environmental vulnerability index the traditional vulnerability indexes and uses the assessment of the environmental impact of polluting activities in urban areas as a significant pillar of vulnerability evaluation. The proposed approach takes advantage of effective fuzzy logic functions to overcome uncertainty in the classification and combination of vulnerability indicators, representing a strategy for making sensitive decisions with implications for human life. This approach can be applied to enhance policies formulated for urban communities and help build sustainable livelihoods in all regions of Iraq and other developing countries. View this paper
