Indicators, sustainability and vulnerability in the diagnosis of historical cities

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.
