Rapid urban development and space limitation have conditioned constructions in areas which are potentially vulnerable to geological hazards.In this context it is necessary to assess the degree of exposure of man-made elements in order to progress in the quantification of risk. The main objective of this project is to assess the degree of rockfall exposure. A methodological approach is carried out to assess the exposure, considering it as a product of frequency multiplied by an exposure function of the vulnerable element. This general objective includes the following specific goals. First of all it is necessary to identify, list and classify by type the various vulnerable elements (permanent/ temporary, structural/cultural /human/ etc). Then, an analysis has to be made of the exposure factor. Finally, to display the results on the field, the degree of exposure of vulnerable elements must to be mapped.
