Resumen

In the present work it has as objective to examine the risk before seismic events of the housings located in commune 6 specifically in the urbanization the gualandayes I and II, which count on the characteristics to implement the method of index of vulnerability (Benedetti & Petrini, 1984) with this, it is possible to determine, together with the current seismic threat in the region and the total of the affectation in the housings, For this method, reconnaissance and sampling tours are carried out. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology is used to improve the management of the data with representations of the acquired information, presenting annexed maps in which the vulnerability indices presented in the studied area are identified. It was obtained that the urbanization gualandayes I and II presents an index of general vulnerability of 20.57% in a scale of 0% to 100% being this way in an average state of vulnerability, which is presented due to that in the zone the houses are in good state without presenting visual damages in the same one. It was obtained that of the 59 analyzed houses, 3 presented a high vulnerability, which had modifications to the structure, without complying with the norm resistant earthquakes (NRS-10).
