Abstract

Abstract:Loja cantonal capital of the province, attraction node for migrants from rural to urban areas, seeking to improve family welfare; However, due to the scarce accessibility to low-cost housing, the high cost of urban land and the continuous expansion of the city, the new inhabitants occupy economically accessible spaces even though they are in a precarious state, without basic services and without approval by the municipality. Informal settlements are not only an inconvenience in the city of Loja but in most cities of the planet, the people who inhabit them can ignore the degree of risk they face or simply do not have the resources to change their situation, becoming human groups vulnerable to unpredictable risks of nature and social inequality. Therefore, the present project shows methodologies that allow assessing the state of social and spatial vulnerability of the Tejar de Jericó y Calvario to make decisions regarding a proposal to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the neighborhood.
