Description: This dataset represents an infrastructure vulnerability assessment for local municipalities in KwaZulu‑Natal, developed to support disaster risk profiling, comparative analysis, and resilience planning. Infrastructure vulnerability reflects the degree to which households and communities are exposed to service delivery failures and infrastructure deficiencies that can amplify disaster impacts and constrain recovery.The base local municipality polygon dataset originates from nationally maintained municipal boundary datasets updated through multiple redetermination cycles between 2009 and 2016. These boundaries were progressively standardised, attributed, and prepared for analysis, including the creation of composite naming fields and the retention of district and provincial identifiers. No geometry edits were applied during the infrastructure vulnerability modelling phase.Infrastructure vulnerability indicators were derived primarily from household service delivery data, focusing on access to basic infrastructure and the reliability of essential services. Key dimensions of infrastructure vulnerability included sanitation, cooking fuel type, and refuse disposal practices. These indicators were sourced from external tabular datasets and joined to the local municipality layer using attribute‑based joins.Sanitation vulnerability reflects reliance on toilet types such as chemical toilets, pit latrines (ventilated and unventilated), ecological toilets, and bucket systems. These systems are associated with elevated health risks, environmental contamination, and reduced resilience during service delivery disruptions. Cooking fuel vulnerability captures dependence on non‑electric fuels such as paraffin, wood, coal, animal dung, and other biomass sources, which are linked to indoor air pollution, health impacts, and limited adaptive capacity during energy supply failures. Refuse disposal vulnerability considers the prevalence of communal dumps, own dumps, or unregulated dumping, indicating deficiencies in municipal waste management systems and increased exposure to environmental and public‑health hazards.Service delivery indicators were expressed as proportions at municipal level and classified using Natural Breaks (Jenks) to identify relative vulnerability classes. Selected vulnerability components were combined into a composite infrastructure vulnerability score, TotalInfrastructureVulnerability, representing the relative level of infrastructure‑related vulnerability for each local municipality.Intermediate fields and attributes unrelated to infrastructure vulnerability (including social vulnerability components, join artefacts, and temporary classification fields) were removed during schema cleanup to produce a focused, analysis‑ready dataset.Infrastructure vulnerability values in this dataset are relative and comparative, not absolute measures of service adequacy or infrastructure condition. The dataset is intended to be used alongside social, economic, and environmental vulnerability layers as part of an integrated, multi‑dimensional vulnerability assessment.This is a screening‑level analytical product and does not represent real‑time service delivery conditions.
