Abstract

This study corresponds to an integrated project in which a set of activities are articulates in order to identify, interpret, argue and solve a problem of context. Thus this work is developed from the analysis and evaluation of two key aspects for understanding the Geological Risk Subsidence, analysis, and threat assessment/susceptibility to a geotechnical mass phenomenon removal that is subsidence and the evaluation of the physical vulnerability of housing and socio-economic vulnerability of the population living on 15 hectares of Turubamba’s neighborhood, located south of the Metropolitan District of Quito, DMQ. The combination of these two aspects can establish levels of risk for subsidence and suggest macro measures of prevention and mitigation as a contribution to the design of an Integral Risk Management Plan to the DMQ.
