ABSTRACT

The objective of this work is to study sustainability indicators, its relationship with vulnerability of buildings and their application in the diagnosis of historical cities. Different organizations have developed a large number of indicators for cities to assess sustainability at a social, economic and environmental level, so it seems interesting to stablish the relationship with the vulnerability of monuments in historical cities, because of culture was not considered as a main variable of sustainability until recent studies. As a result, 31 sustainability indicators were obtained, grouped according to the Pressure – State – Response model and related to each other according to how they affect the vulnerability of buildings.
