Abstract

Abstract:The present research work explored the conceptual principles of landscape valuation through Urban Acupuncture strategies that have been applied in the rescue of hidden urban landscapes, which are the result of the fragmentation and accelerated growth of cities causing said landscapes manifest themselves dispersed in the urban fabric with an irregular and chaotic panorama, building an image of contradictory urban inequality. For its assessment, a mixed, qualitative and quantitative research methodology is used, based on references from similar studies on the assessment of natural, rural, heritage and urban landscapes, as well as the experimental method by combining variables and indicators that strengthen the assessment, through technical data sheets. methodological, categorized with ranges and weights. Subsequently, based on these space assessment sheets, another undervaluation and comparison of visual quality data is made to verify if the previous results obtained are valid, thus resulting in four landscapes which show high ratings in the two methods used. and thanks to these parameters it is possible to establish appropriate recovery strategies for each type of landscape found in the urban plot.
