Resumen

The research was carried out in the city of Moquegua, intending to determine the type of seismic vulnerability for masonry houses and its registration in risk scenarios of the area. The starting point was the physical and structural information, the type and characteristics of the construction material, as well as the number of floors of each building. The methodology was based on a non-experimental observational design. The population and the sample consisted of 23,025 dwellings in the city. In addition, the format of seismic vulnerability in buildings provided by Lazares (1994), and its adaptation based on the guidelines of Del Carpio (2016) was applied as an instrument. The results indicate that according to the type of predominant material in the dwellings, on average 85.40% of these have a medium vulnerability and a high level of seismic hazard. This is associated with the proximity of active seismic faults, such as P40: Pampa Trapiche, P41: Chololo, and P44: Purgatorio, located in the region. This information is understood as a great contribution for the authorities of the region in charge of risk management since it allows taking preventive actions in a perilous seismic scenario. 2024 by authors, all rights reserved.
