Evaluación del impacto en el uso de los retiros frontales en la Av. 24 de mayo en la Ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The city of Loja is characterized by its rich heritage and its gradual development in the construction sector, which has transformed it into a medium-sized city with urban density and rural dispersion. The urban area is characterized by the concentration of major economic, social, and political activities. This leads to the land being classified into different zones of interest, and thus, the dynamics of land use vary accordingly. In addition to the aforementioned activities, there is a large percentage of mixed-use properties, that is, residential buildings that adapt to the needs of the area and are converted into commercial spaces. However, this process has triggered problems associated with the lack of regulation and control over public spaces, despite the existence of local regulations. This project analyzes the impact of using front setbacks in urban areas, assessing current regulations applicable to residential and commercial land use, and identifying tools that can be used to mitigate current problems.
