Abstract

At the beginning of the last decade, in the year 2002 begin to implement in our city the first closed housing sets, is the case of ¨Terrazas del Pucarᨠhousing set. Generated by the need for housing; this set is projected with direction to a single group of users of upper middle class, establishing in consolidated spaces of the city with high cost of floor and finishes; Being this walled up causing a self-segregation. At the same time social housing projects are being developed as the program planned in 2002 by VIVEM Loja called "Ciudad Victoria". The interest to analyze and determine the socio-spatial impact that these typologies of housing cause in the urban environment begins to grow.

Therefore, the reason for this study focuses on the comparison in the public, architectural and formal space to be able to determine the intensity of social segregation in space and thus generate a theoretical discussion on the subject concluding that closed housing estates generate space impact at urban and social level.
