For the project a qualitative method was used , in which -through surveys- all relevant information for the evaluation of each of the structures was collected ; once all the surveyed information is gathered, a quantitative method for organizing the information was used in a database (Excel) , scoring orderly each of the results, and then incorporate them into a GIS through the program ArcGIS 10.1, where a layer constructions studied area was created, and thematic maps were generated with relevant information gathered. According to each of the maps generated, could determine the status of each of the buildings and the neighborhood in general, assessing design quality and condition of the buildings, along with other features that helped determine and conclude the behavior of the structures in a seismic event considering the structural typology.
