Abstract
The main objective of this paper is aimed at the quantitative analysis of vulnerability to hydro -climate changes in the eleven counties of the Danube region. The vulnerability was seen by three components: exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Twenty- five indicators were examined. The methods used were factor analysis and cluster analysis. Obtained clusters show spatial differences of vulnerability at the county level. In this context, policy makers should adapt their policies to local conditions. In addition, hydro-climatic changes should be placed in the broader context of sustainable rural development.
