Abstract

Abstract: The neighborhoods have different characteristics, both physical and functional, these characteristics define their identity, and have been affected by the constant climatic changes that occur today and do not allow proper social and spatial functioning. The development of this work tries to raise the urban design adaptive to climate change taking as a case study the Turunuma neighborhood, located in the northwestern part of Loja city. For this purpose, it was carried out an urban analysis that allows measuring the neighborhood's vulnerability to climate variables, in order to know its functioning and later on, the problems and potentialities it presents through are defined, by means of layers that reflect the conditions and current state presented by the different components of the neighborhood. Finally, it is developed an intervention plan in Turunuma neighborhood, based on theoretical bases, references and analogous cases, as an answer to the urban analysis where adaptable public spaces to climatic variables are proposed, in order to mitigate its impact and improve the quality of life of the neighborhood's inhabitants.
