This paper presents a summary of the methodologies and constructions for precariousness indications used in the last decade by three Latin American countries: Venezuela, Chile an Argentina. The two first have an outstanding scale since Venezuela uses these indicators to face the shanty settlements, which are so representatives of the poverty in that nation. Chile used land registry and is indications as a reference to start the CHILE BARRIO (Chile- Neighborhood) program. The Argentina case has a micro urban scale and it is interesting because it uses a qualitative type of methodology. Since shantytowns are so common throughout Latin America, this paper tries to contribute to the discussion of such indicators, especially because they do not include first order variables to efficiently solve the problem. These indicators derive in high cost actions which are expected to contribute to the construction of sustainable cities. This paper is the first part of a larger work on the topic, in the context of the Red CYTED XIV.b Viviendo y Construyendo, SUBPROGRAMA XIV. HABITED.
