Movilidad urbana peatonal y medios alternativos de transporte sostenibles aplicados en la ciudad de Francisco de Orellana - El Coca

Abstract

Abstract:The city Puerto de Francisco de Orellana, known as "El Coca", being a relatively young settlement, has the same disadvantages as the large cities of the country, as it has an internal dispersion that has caused a process of expansion of the urban boundary, where the Infrastructure provision to improve pedestrian traffic and alternative transport become more complex due to inefficient policies applied in the territory. "The main problems of mobility suffered by cities are the inheritance of urban development hierarchically focused on the car [...] Any action towards sustainable mobility goes through two different but complementary objectives: decrease in the use of private cars and promotion of public transport and not motorized ", (Gonzalez, 2007), the latter being the most representative to establish strategies that allow adequate planning and territorial ordering, improving commuting in the city with emphasis on pedestrian urban mobility and alternative means of sustainable transport that can be adapted to the territory contributing to the recovery of the environment.
