A mean score across 7 variables (with equal weight) is used to represent the SVI score, the value of which ranges from 1 to 10. High scores indicate the substantial vulnerability of a CA. A map was produced by geographic information system (GIS) to visualize the SVI distribution across the territory by using ArcMap version 9.2 (ESRI 2006).
Substantial vulnerability of single-leaf vaults has repeatedly been observed in the aftermath of past earthquakes.
In this paper, we use synthetic panels to show that, despite progress, the region remains characterized by substantial vulnerability that also affects the rising middle class.
