Distribución espacial de las áreas verdes urbanas presentes en la ciudad de San Pablo de Manta

Abstract

Abstract: Spatial distribution of urban green areas present in San Pablo de Manta, Manabí is the study area for this project, focused on dense areas of the city. The distance, extent and proximity of green areas are analyzed through the use of geospatial techniques and mapping with Qgis. The distribution and population density that they benefit for environmental development and sustainability are taken into account. It is highlighted that accessibility to green spaces and their proximity within urban parishes is important to comply with the minimum area of square meters per inhabitant for public health and climate change mitigation. The result obtained from the nearest neighbor index of 0.73 with green elements grouped in areas of high population density allows updated knowledge about which spaces to address, for the design of strategies that strengthen the conservation of green areas in San Pablo de Manta, also for development and implementation with planned distribution in the urban environment that improves living conditions.
