Resumen
Seismic Risk maps are tools for urban planning of seismic zones, that let us manager the urban space, in relation to human settlement location, infrastructure productive activities and organization measures for the city in the presence of seismic emergency. They constitute the representation of spatial location of probable risk effects for different seismic intensities. They have been for the city of San Juan, Argentina, but its principies and methodological procedures can be applied, whit the corresponding local adaptations, on any other urban centre with high seismic potential.
