The study area lies in the most seismically active zone of the Greek territory. Most&lt;br&gt;of its buildings were built with local practices and have been designated by the European Council&lt;br&gt;Cultural Heritage Unit as representative earthquake resistant constructions. The August 14th, 2003&lt;br&gt;(Mw=6.2) local earthquake produced several damage in the old town of Lefkada, with an&lt;br&gt;inhomogeneous spatial distribution. In this paper we investigate the correlation of the observed&lt;br&gt;damage pattern with soil characteristics using data collected during an ambient noise survey conducted&lt;br&gt;in 2007. Those were analyzed following Nakamura's HVSR methodology and soil response was&lt;br&gt;approximated by the dominant frequencies and quasi-amplification factors of the resulted HVSR&lt;br&gt;curves. The latter were further inverted using a Monte-Carlo approach and best-fitting site specific&lt;br&gt;geotechnical models were determined. The obtained results are reasonably consistent with borehole&lt;br&gt;test data and show a remarkably good correlation with the 2003 damage distribution.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
