Prospectiva de la gestión del riesgo de origen sísmico. Vulnerabilidad en las unidades patrimoniales urbanísticas de Popayán – Colombia

Abstract

In the search for sustainability components associated with urban development processes in Popayán, a contribution was made to the discussion on seismic vulnerability scenarios and architectural heritage values of the city, and on the various threats, concepts and evidence for unsatisfied needs in the face of non-compliance with regulations. In this way, a critical and justified organized panorama was obtained with general guidelines in accordance with the prospective management of seismic risk, defining criteria with the purpose of formulating recommendations related to conceptualizations and emerging themes that reduce the vulnerability of the integral heritage of the city of Popayán. The seismic hazard in the city is incorporated into the development process and the symbolic values attached to the buildings of the historic center that reinforce the sense of identity in the heritage city; thus, taking vulnerability as a preponderant factor in disaster risk management, an integration of the municipality to prospective scenarios should be made, incorporating risk management, no longer as a concept of emergency care, but as development management.
