Here are two papers that may be relevant. They are a bit dated, but well cited. I would check the papers that cite them.

I have recently completed a small study on the climate change social vulnerability of Deghradun Slum area, India. We are in writing phase. We have estimated their vulnerability level stand alone and also comparing the vulnerability status based on the decision making capability and resource capacity of the households.
If you have published the paper pl do forward to me.
