| Sumario: | [EN] This study is aligned with United Nations, Sustainable Development Goal 11, concerned about making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, in particular, in line with resilience to disasters, and protecting the world¿s cultural heritage targets.Focused on a small sample of rammed earth residential dwellings in the city of Mula, one of the areas of highest seismic hazard in Spain, the seismic vulnerability has been assessed adapting the Vulnerability Index Method (Risk-UE) to tackle the specificities of earthen residential buildings. The majority of this humble earthen heritage, despite being an essential part of the Spanish Culture, suffers from the effects of abandonment and insufficient maintenance. As a consequence, these genuine buildings will be seriously damaged in the event of an earthquake of intensities from VII to VIII, with heritage losses representing 17% to 43% of the built area. These research outcomes can be used to define repair and strengthening priorities among the buildings in the sample when financial resources are limited. The proposed indices and coefficients can be applied to similar earthen structures, widely built in the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean region. |
