Abstract: The understanding of informal settlements as complex phenomena, influenced due to socioeconomic, urban planning and governance factors, it is essential to enhance the resilience and living conditions (UN-HABITAD, 2015). In the specific case of the Trigales Altos Urbanization, it was evident that the population faces greater risks due to to the precarious conditions of housing and unsatisfied basic needs, aggravated by the presence of an active landslide in the area. The research adopted qualitative and quantitative approaches, using methods such as action research and data analysis with SPSS. Methodologies such as the one proposed by Schuschny and Soto (2009) for the "Design of composite indicators of sustainable development" with the aim to determine the level of urban vulnerability. Furthermore, the methodology was used proposed by Reyes et al. (2022) to analyze the public policy discourse, focusing on key concepts such as vulnerability, risk, resilience and sustainability. Documentary research was carried out to carry out a critical analysis of policies and effective measures in risk management, taking as reference success stories at the level regional and international. The final objective of the research was to propose measures applicable to the context of the Trigales Altos Urbanization, framed in the management of risks.
