Resumen

Peru, a country located in the Ring of Fire and among a variety of mountain ranges with diverse typologies of materials, which are exposed to geodynamic events either internally or externally. Currently, the increase in population, which produces a demand for housing and roads, added to the lack of planning and organization at the time of urbanization are the main factors by which a risk is produced. To face this situation, it’s important to plan and implement methodologies that help to stratify the levels of geotechnical risk, vulnerability and geotechnical risk in order to optimize decision making for their reduction.
