Sumario: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 most risky 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.
