ABSTRACT: Santiago de Cuba Province due to its seismicity, mountainous relief,
lithological composition and stratigraphy, tectonic conditions, hydrological
and geotechnical conditions, is regarded as the greatest potential for manifestation
of geological hazards Cuba. The analysis of this province, notes that there are
problems in the geological engineering study, land use and planning, organization,
evaluation, management, analysis, implementation, monitoring and control of geological
risks in the territory, meaning that management problems exist. To resolve
these problems, this research proposes a new procedure for management and
reduction of geological risk in Santiago de Cuba province supported by the
theoretical foundations of processes management.
