Metodología Mora-Vahrson, morfometría, susceptibilidad, deslizamientos, movimientos en masa The Mora-Vahrson methodologies (1994) and the morphometric method are analyzed to study their strengths and weaknesses in the identification of areas susceptible to landslides. First, these methodologies are explained; later, a case study is conducted in the Rio Macho microbasin, northeast San Jose, to compare the results of both methods. This analysis establishes that both methodologies are useful for the determination of baseline for zoning areas susceptible to landslides, depending on the availability of inputs. Finally, these tools can be used for disaster risk management by slope processes and territorial planning. Se analizan las metodologías Mora-Vahrson (1994) y el método morfométrico para estudiar sus fortalezas y debilidades en la determinación de zonas susceptibles a deslizamientos. Se explican las metodologías, y posteriormente, se hace un estudio de caso en la microcuenca del río Macho al NE de San José para comparar los resultados de ambos métodos. Dicho análisis establece que ambas metodologías son útiles para la determinación de línea base para zonificar áreas susceptibles a deslizamientos, dependiendo de la disponibilidad de los insumos de entrada. Por último, estas herramientas pueden ser usadas para la gestión del riesgo de desastres por procesos de ladera y el ordenamiento territorial.
