Abstract

Abstract: Urban green areas are considered as main spaces for the people of those around them, providing benefits and environmental services in a city where there is no need for pollution, means of transportation, among other factors. Based on a cartographic and statistical analysis, the spatial distribution of public urban green areas in the downtown area of Quito corresponding to the Manuela Sáenz Zonal Administration was evaluated. The urban green areas of this administration showed a degree of random significance, applied using the vector analysis tool of the QGIS software. The results are that the Itchimbía Parish complies with the urban green index and exceeds the value established by the OMS of 9m2/inhab, while peripheral areas such as Puengasí are affected by having less surface area of green areas. Where an indication of lack of distributive environmental planning is constituted in the Manuela Sáenz Zonal Administration of the Metropolitan District of Quito.
