Diseño conceptual de “proyecto piloto de observatorio de precios de suelo en Ecuador

Abstract

This research is developed in function of establishing an instrument that con¬tributes to combat speculative practices. For this, an Urban Land Price Obser¬vatory for Ecuador is proposed, which focuses on providing geospatial infor¬mation related to the price of urban land and speculation practices. Within the framework of the Observatory, three indicators are proposed, which would allow, by evaluating the price with some land attributes, to identify speculation traits. The research in its final phase, carries out the application of the indica¬tors in a sample city, which is Cuenca. The result indicates that in the city there are areas with a provision of 27% of services, in which there are high values of the price of land in relation to other areas, with a better percentage of service and less distance to the urban center. On the other hand, the price of urban land in the 2016-2017 period increases over a benchmark of the evolution of the economy, which is the Unified Basic Salary (SBU). Which implies that that sector of the population that has a Basic Unified Salary for investment, to ac¬cess a square meter of land properly served, requires at the beginning of the period 1.33 SBU, and at the end, a value of 1, 36 SBU. Aspect that determines a growing limitation, in the access to the property of urban land adequately served.
