Final+Project

The area of study belongs to the sector Turumo, parish Caucaguita, placed in the center of the Municipality Sucre, of the State Bolivariano of Miranda - Venezuela. Turumo has a population of 15,918 inhabitants, according to the projections of the census 2001 There is the need to study the vulnerability of Turumo. The term vulnerability is defined as the susceptibility to the loss of an element or set of elements as a result of the occurrence of a disaster. The project for studying the physical vulnerability of Turumo was requested by the city hall of the municipality Sucre. The study area is divided into three sectors: 1- Industrial sector. The characteristics are:
 * • The materials that predominate in the constructions are brick and reinforced concrete
 * • There are visible cracks in the street (or road) pavement (or asphalt) • The physical vulnerability is given by the low resistance of the materials to the threats of flood
 * • Solid garbage (or solid waste) obstruct the water courses causing flooding.
 * The principal activity is commercial

2- Middle class housing. The characteristics are:
 * The materials that predominate in this type of houses are brick and reinforced concrete.
 * And the structure is made of reinforced concrete and steel.
 * Wood and the glass are used for doors and windows.
 * Stones are used for the decoration of walls
 * •The physical vulnerability is given by the low resistance of the materials to the movements in mass produced in the zone.

3- Lower class housing. The characteristics are: Finally, it is recommended a redeployment of the inhabitants of the houses with unstable structures, and to help with a plan for the compilation of solid garbage. []

 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The physical vulnerability is given by the low resistance of the materials of the structure that support the height of the buildings to the movements in mass produced in the zone.
