## 8 Conclusions  
The application of the Risk-Informed Asset-Centric (RIACT) decision-making process to the context of Portuguese municipalities has yielded significant insights into the multifaceted nature of earthquake resilience. This study not only maps the varied seismic risk landscape across Portugal but also sets a precedent for future studies on urban resilience. The findings advocate for a comprehensive approach that extends beyond traditional risk assessment, encompassing a spectrum of strategies, from infrastructural upgrades to community engagement and policy reform. A key takeaway from this study is the critical importance of a multidimensional approach in addressing earthquake resilience. The RIACT process, with its emphasis on dynamic and adaptive strategies, has proven effective in integrating diverse measures, ranging from physical infrastructure enhancements to socio-economic initiatives. This holistic approach underscores the necessity of addressing both the tangible and intangible aspects of urban resilience. This study also highlights the evolving nature of seismic resilience as a field that requires ongoing research and adaptation. The RIACT process, in its essence, is a call for the continuous evolution and re-evaluation of strategies in response to emerging data and changing seismic patterns. This dynamic approach is vital in a world where urban environments and their associated risks are constantly in flux. Looking ahead, the RIACT framework's application to specific assets such as critical infrastructures--roads, rail networks, water systems, energy grids, and telecommunication networks--presents a promising avenue for future research. This expansion will allow for a more targeted and asset-specific understanding of resilience, crucial for the development of tailored mitigation and preparedness strategies. Additionally, exploring the application of the RIACT process to the healthcare sectors, emergency services, and the education sectors would provide a more comprehensive view of urban resilience. This study's methodology, particularly the entropy weighting algorithm, offers a robust tool for future applications in diverse urban contexts. Applying these algorithms to various assets will not only enhance the specificity of resilience assessments but also contribute to the development of more effective and efficient resilience-building interventions. This research marks a significant step in the journey towards understanding and enhancing urban earthquake resilience. The conclusions drawn from our case study on the aforementioned Portuguese municipalities provide a foundation for future studies, encouraging deeper exploration into the resilience of critical infrastructures and key urban sectors. The RIACT process, with its comprehensive and adaptable framework, stands as a pivotal contribution to the ongoing endeavour of building safer, more resilient urban environments in the face of seismic uncertainties.
