Ecuador through the PNBV of the beginning of the participation of the country in this process. In the present investigation the 15 cantonal PDyOTs of the province of Azuay are compared by means of an analysis of each territory as determined by the risk management competence in Art. 14 of COOTAD and Art 9 number 3 of the Organic Law of Territorial Ordinance, Use and Land Management to examine the inclusion of cantonal risk, but with a macro vision of overcoming the political and administrative division. To do this, the mathematical method of Risk Estimation is applied to locate the territorial threats and vulnerabilities and subsequently the methodological scheme of the book Territorial and Urban Planning is used: A road for its application in Ecuador and to locate the problems and potentialities of the planning. With the results it has been possible to show that in a general way emphasis is placed on the integral diagnosis but the risk factor during the PDyOT is blurred, that is why a series of baselines is generated to contribute to the planning processes.
