BUSTAMANTE CALDERON, Diana Patricia. Perspectiva para zonificación del riesgo por deslizamientos para el cantón Riobamba. Figempa [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.1, pp.20-28. ISSN 2602-8484.  https://doi.org/10.29166/revfig.v1i1.817.

The main objective of this work is to zonify the landslide risk for the canton of Riobamba, using multivariate statistical procedures and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a methodological alternative that allows authorities and governmental entities in charge of Cantonal Risk Management to make decisions optimal for the benefit of citizens who live in the riskiest areas as well as the environment in general. Likewise, a methodology developed by the scientific team of Spatial Data Infrastructure in Europe (INSPIRE, 2012) is presented, which relates key variables for the analysis of information among them: Vulnerability, Exposure and Risk; for the Riobamba canton, 13% of its surface has a high risk of occurrence of mass removal phenomena.

Palabras clave : zoning; risk; hazard; exposure; vulnerability and sliding.
