This paper examines conceptual and methodological knowledge in the course of territorial urban development in seismic zones. Its aim is to study and apply methods on vulnerability assessments taking into account basic elements of the natural environment. Departamento Pocito, in San Juan, Argentina, is presented as a study case; however, its principles and methodological procedures may be adapted to the requirements of a similar zone. Methodological process consists of three stages: 1) Identify the danger level of the area; 2) evaluate physical, functional and social vulnerability under the eye of integration; and 3) general conclusions and considerations on urban seismic issues. The importance of the results is not just theoretical but its specialization using vulnerability maps allows performing preventive proposals towards an urban-territorial sustainable development. |
