Distribución espacial de las áreas verdes urbanas presentes en la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

Abstract: The distribution of urban green areas (AVU) in many cases is due to erroneous planning processes at the local level, which result in a unequal provision of the benefits that these spaces provide to the population. To corroborate this approach, the present work focuses on the identification, georeferencing and measurement of green areas distributed in the urban area of ​​the city ​​of Riobamba, considering its enormous population density, since the parishes Urban areas house almost two thirds of the canton's total population. The main objective consists of determining whether this distribution is governed by adequate planning and whether it complies with the parameters established by the WHO (9 m2 /habitant). The results produced by the present study, ratify what has already been established by INEC (2010), where the city is placed of Riobamba as the canton with the lowest urban green index in the province of Chimborazo. It was also determined that the distribution of AVUs is random, with a slight tendency towards grouping; and that many of the areas with greater density, they do not have nearby AVUs, data of substantive importance in case of implementation of appropriate plans and policies may be required to achieve compliance of current national and international regulations.
