editPerhaps this article should be renamed Vulnerable areas in Sweden, since the term vulnerable area is not internationally applied. AadaamS (talk) 17:13, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- Maybe even Socially vulneralble areas in Sweden? Vulnerable area is a military and ecological notion.Xx236 (talk) 10:18, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Xx236: I have used the term "vulnerable area" as that's the translation by the English version of Swedish Television: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&artikel=6715164 AadaamS (talk) 23:12, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Netha Hussain hi would you care to discuss the name change of the article? What about Vulnerable areas in Sweden. Also the page name was unique ... or are you thinking of the Danish udsatte områder which is an expression there? enWP doesn't have an article for those areas yet. AadaamS (talk) 06:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- I think Vulnerable areas in Sweden sounds good enough for the article. I agree that it has an ecological notion, like in vulnerable species, but I can't think about a better alternative. --Netha (talk) 12:18, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Netha Hussain neither in English nor in Swedish does it sound like a dry classification by a government agency (in Swedish: kanslisvenska). AadaamS (talk) 06:24, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- I believe the article name should indeed be changed, for instance to Vulnerable area (Sweden), leaving room for a more international article about vulnerable area with regard to Climate Change, which does not include the "presence of criminal elements" in its definition and can apply to different places on the planet. See, for instance, "Climate change poses disproportionate risks to human and natural systems due to differences in vulnerability and exposure. According to the IPCC (2014), vulnerability is the propensity or predisposition to be adversely affected." (https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/Considerations%20regarding%20vulnerable.pdf). Just my two-cents worth. ;) Catgirl (talk) 10:34, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

The presnet article for the similar Danish phenomenon is called vulnerable residential area (Denmark), which might also be an inspiration. --Økonom (talk) 13:12, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Emergency services' strategies
edithttps://www.thelocal.se/20190603/sweden-vulnerable-areas-decrease-positive-trends-police Xx236 (talk) 12:12, 26 June 2020 (UTC) emergency services do often adapt their behaviour, for example by making sure that there is proper back-up, by entering the areas via alternative routes, or by reversing their vehicles into the areas in order to make sure they are able to leave quickly if needed. Emergency services have, for example, been exposed to threats, stone-throwing, or vandalism of their vehicles. Xx236 (talk) 12:13, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

editI have some questions about this article. The phenomenon of "vulnerable areas" is an international one, certainally not a uniquely Swedish one. As mentioned in the Million Programme article, the programme may have created a lot of these issues, but that is comprehensively if briefly mentioned there. I'd move to delete this article and merge it with Million Programme as one solution. Another could be to include it as a section in ghetto or No-go_area. Totorotroll (talk) 10:07, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
