Propuesta de uso del suelo del sector La Florida en base a la evolución geomorfológica del terreno y la susceptibilidad a los movimientos de ladera

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research work is to evaluate the conditioning variables that contribute to the displacement of the terrain in La Florida, city of Loja, to generate a susceptibility model and to estimate one of the slope movements in order to propose a stabilization measure with revegetation techniques and its use as urban orchards. The results allow identifying that 80% of the study area is at medium to very high susceptibility levels, and that the influence of sandy and clayey lithologies combined with the presence of water, either from rainfall or anthropic activities, are the ones that contribute to the generation of slope movements. Finally, the use of the Krainer wall is proposed as a stabilization measure and its subsequent use as urban gardens. In these gardens, vegetables, legumes and corn can be grown, and the Krainer wall takes advantage of the vegetation present in the environment, such as willow, pine and cypress.
