Urban vulnerability to natural hazards such as earthquakes is a function of human behaviour. It describes the degree to which socioeconomic systems and physical assets in urban areas are either susceptible or resilient to the impact of natural hazards. Vulnerability is independent from any particular magnitude from a specific natural event but dependent on the context in which it occurs. The characteristic of the urban community that can be assessed through a combination of ecological factors associated with the physical conditions of the population in that place. The physical and social conditions are inextricably bound together in many disaster situations that we can use the former as indicative of the latter. V. is continuously modified by human actions and therefore it varies over space and time. V cannot be assessed in absolute terms; the performance of the urban place should be assessed with reference to specific spatial and temporal scales (Rashed and Weeks, 2002). The adaptive and coping capacities that determine the extent to which a society can tolerate damage from extreme events without significant outside assistance. (Mileti, 1999)
