Study model of Managua city, Nicaragua Importancia de la vulnerabilidad estructural de la vivienda unifamiliar en el riesgo urbano. Modelo de estudio ciudad de Managua, Nicaragua Aguilar Arriola, Erasmo José The detached house itself is the vital node of the city. In Managua, Nicaragua’s capital city, has many housing developments, especially popular housing or social housing which are offered in locations where the poorest classes are concentrated. Due to its characteristics, the exposure to natural hazards, and particularities of the most populated and busiest city in the country, the intensity of use creates a high level of urban risk. For this reason, it is essential to identify the contribution of the structural vulnerability of single-family homes to this urban risk. Generally, we did not notice the vulnerability of social interest housing, perhaps due to the lack of an appropriate methodology of study. However, if we use certain indicators to perform a health diagnosis of its structure, it becomes possible to make a contribution to the reduction of vulnerability in these Urbanization and urban risk. La vivienda unifamiliar en sí es el nodo vital de la ciudad. En Managua, la ciudad capital de Nicaragua, se concentra la mayor cantidad de desarrollos habitacionales, especialmente los de viviendas populares o viviendas de interés social que son las ofertadas a las clases menos pudientes. Debido a sus características, las amenazas naturales y las particularidades propias de la ciudad más poblada y con mayor afluencia de usuarios en dicho país, han creado un alto nivel de riesgo urbano. Por esta razón, se vuelve fundamental identificar el aporte de la vulnerabilidad estructural de las viviendas unifamiliares al respecto. Generalmente la vulnerabilidad de las viviendas de interés social pasa desapercibida, tal vez por la inexistencia de una metodología de estudio apropiada. Sin embargo, si se utilizan ciertos indicadores para la realización de un diagnóstico de la salud de su estructura, se aportará a la reducción de la vulnerabilidad en estas urbanizaciones y por consiguiente, del riesgo urbano.
