000009638 520__ $$2eng$$aA seismic risk assessment of an informal settlement (in Mérida, Venezuela) is presented. IVIM and NVIM methodologies are used. NVIM concludes that the buildings are vulnerable. A more detailed evaluation is performed with IVIM; the required knowledge is acquired by understanding the seismic behavior of the buildings and by code-type analyses. This output allows estimating the expected damage for selected hazard scenarios. Retrofit solutions are proposed. NVIM is used for re-evaluating the vulnerability and for determining the expected damage and number of casualties for the scenario events. A Cost-Benefit analysis is presented. This research may be useful for close situations. Vulnerability analysis, Risk assessment, Risk mitigation, Non-engineered buildings,
