Disponibilidad de espacios verdes urbanos (UGS) en el cantón Yantzaza, provincia de Zamora Chinchipe

Abstract

Abstract: The present research work on the availability of urban green spaces (UGS) in the Yantzaza canton consisted of verifying the problem of the deficiency of green areas within the urban area such as squares, parks, gardens, sidewalks, trails, etc., included in the canton and propose alternatives for its improvement. It is important to emphasize that in the Yantzaza canton, despite being surrounded by a large number of green areas, within the urban area there are no green areas adapted to the natural conditions of the areas. Intervening in the availability of green areas (UGS) must be conceived in a functional design for passers-by, thinking about green spaces that enable ecological connectivity. These green areas are key to improving the health of the population, as they act as lungs that renew the polluted air, while relaxing and providing a necessary escape to forget the concrete. It was carried out through an urban-architectural diagnosis where the main parks in the canton were identified and through design methods and strategies, proposals for improvement towards its urban growth were analyzed. The results obtained through the measurement of urban indicators allow us to design architectural proposals such as sponge cities, sustainable drainage, street trees, porous pavements which will help to improve these spaces for their integration with the citizens of Yantzaza that will help mitigate the island effects. of heat produced in summer times and runoff caused in rainy seasons.
