Espacio público como instrumento de transformación social y funcional, en la periferia urbano-rural de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

The present work approaches the study of the public space as part of the rural urban periphery of Loja, we speak of interface understood as a transition strip, a dual territory, in the western end of the city, where the existing conditions within the conceptual framework are analyzed of space as a functional and social element, which directly affect the conditions and quality of life of its population. The approximation of the definition and state of art allows us to approach a second focus suggested from the urban and environmental to articulate the problem in which the interface is developed. The project is developed as an urban-rural proposal, from the perspective of environmental, social and productive sustainability whose interrelations and connections influence the space as a structured interface, that is to say, closely linked to each other, where the dividing line is not contemplated be read like a corridor that relates the field and the city; proposed as an agricultural park, a territory where urban and rural benefits are established from the social, functional and economic levels, with high environmental quality.
