Empirically based methods refer to gathering of observable data to formulate and test a hypothesis and come to a conclusion(s). They require often substantia resources to be committed
Theory driven approach, use existing theoretical insights into the nature and causes of vulnerability to select variables for inclusion occurring often within the limits placed by data availability. Subjectivity in the choice of indicators.

The looped circles indicate that once a task has been identified and a method applied, the process should be repeated based on the new adaptation situation to identify the next task.
