Índice de Vulnerabilidad Estructural, No Estructural y Funcional de las Edificaciones de Uso Turístico ante Sismos y Tsunamis.

Abstract

| In this article we show the methodology named Structural, Non-Structural and Functional Vulnerability Index of Tourist Use Buildings in Sismic and Tsunami, designed in the framework of the regional project DIPECHO XII, by commission of the National Bureau of Risk Management-Nicaragua (MNGR), in alliance with the National University of Engineering (UNI) and the National Chamber of Tourism (CANATUR). Simplified, the Tourism Vulnerability Index to Tsunamis and Earthquakes (IVT) has been designed as the average of three Sub Indices: Functional Vulnerability (SiVF), Structural Vulnerability (SiVE) and NonStructural Vulnerability (SiVNE), using as Histogram calculation tool to evaluate the 3 types of Vulnerability, which are organized into components and subcomponents to which a Weighted Evaluation is applied, which is the result of the product of an assigned Scale or degree of vulnerability (Low, Medium or High) for a Weight of Importance established by experts in the field who were consulted. Finally, the values resulting from the Weighted Evaluation of the Aguilar, E. 1 & Rosales, B.2 1,2 Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Recinto Universitario Simón Bolivar, Managua, Nicaragua 1erasmo.aguilar@uni.edu.ni / https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6267-9405 2 brosales@uni.edu.ni / https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7132-3806 Recibido el 04 de noviembre de 2019, aprobado el 26 de noviembre de 2019.
