description	Adobe dwellings are the most representative constructive typologies of the traditional architecture and local culture of Mexico. In the last decades these systems have been abandoned and displaced by modern materials and techniques, a situation enhanced by the recent seismic events, especially the ones which struck the country in 2017. The city of Jojutla, in the State of Morelos, was one of the most affected by the 2017 Puebla earthquake, suffering several damages of the built heritage, highlighting the adobe dwellings in the historic centre. The following paper presents the research carried in the city of Jojutla regarding the seis- mic impact over the earthen constructions of the region after the 2017 earthquake. There was applied a research methodology which included techniques like geographic information systems, characterisation of the earthen construction materials in the laboratory, and the analysis and revision of the local building codes and risk management plans. There could be noticed several structural de- ciencies in the dwellings of the town, as well as wrong urban planning and risk management plans, contributing to increase the seismic vulnerability of the constructions. On the basis of pre- vious research and the results presented, it could be established that the lack of protection and exposition of the adobe dwellings, in combination with the oblivion of the traditional techniques and bad practices, caused the complete demise of this constructive culture in the studied region.

En las últimas décadas estos sistemas han sufrido un abandono y desplazamiento por materiales y técnicas contemporáneos, situación que no ha hecho más que acrecentarse tras los recientes eventos sísmicos ocurridos en el país, especialmente los del año 2017. La localidad de Jojutla, en el estado de Morelos, fue una de las más afectadas por el sismo de Puebla de 2017, sufriendo daños irreparables en su patrimonio edificado, donde destaca la pérdida de las viviendas de ado- be del centro histórico. Con la presente investigación se hizo un estudio completo en la localidad señalada y la afectación sísmica en las construcciones de adobe tras los eventos de 2017. Para ello se empleó una metodología que incluyó análisis mediante sistemas de información geográ ca, caracterización de los materiales constructivos de tierra en el laboratorio, y la revisión de las regulaciones constructivas y los planes de gestión de riesgos del municipio. Pudieron observarse graves de ciencias constructivas en las viviendas, así como una incorrecta planificación a nivel urbano y de gestión de riesgos en la localidad, lo que contribuyó a aumentar la vulnerabilidad sísmica de las edificaciones. A partir de las investigaciones previas y de los resultados que se presentan, pudo establecerse que las viviendas de adobe fueron desprotegidas por las autoridades, aunado al olvido de los sistemas tradicionales y las malas prácticas, lo cual derivó en la desaparición de esta cultura constructiva en la región estudiada.
