Analysis and assessment of views under the considerations of historical urban landscape (HUL). Case study Cuenca, Ecuador
(27th CIPA International Symposium, 2019) Rodas Vázquez, Catalina Monserrath; Astudillo Cordero, Jaime Sebastián; Auquilla Zambrano, Silvia Alexandra; Rodas Vázquez, Catalina Monserrath
The cities have developed over time responding to various urban dynamics, in this process have been configured representative images, product of the synergy created between the natural elements of the environment and those built by the communities. The analysis of visuals, materializes a landscape value, not evidenced at the time of planning and design projects for cities with value surroundings; you can take as an example those good practices that other countries have implemented to assess, preserve and protect views such as English Heritage (2011), London View Management Framework (2012) or View Protection Guidelines of the city of Vancouver (2011). The methodological analyzes the view in two stages: the first one strategic points of observation and view basins are identified and described as element integrators - what is seen, and through citizen participation accepts or does not accept the evaluation criteria; in the second, the view is evaluated through the relationship between quality and incidence, giving it an assessment of how fragile it is. The application of the methodology in the area known as El Ejido in the city of Cuenca - Ecuador, has resulted in a total of twentyeight visuals considered relevant. Nine of them, have been analyzed completely, evidencing that there is a view quality very High/High; nevertheless, they are affected by urban actions that generate that the incidence is High and therefore the fragility and vulnerability is greater.
Aplicación de la Recomendación del Paisaje Urbano Histórico en la zona de El Ejido de Cuenca
(2019-08-02) Auquilla Zambrano, Silvia Alexandra; Astudillo Cordero, Jaime Sebastián
The position contemplated by the study of the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) in the 2011 Recommendation, leads to a macro management for the conservation of urban heritage, which entails the values of the city in its tangible and intangible dimension. The holistic approach is manifested in the 2011 Recommendation, and is taken as a tool to enable the creation of new policies and practices for the safeguarding of cultural contexts. This new conception is, therefore, the most recent modality of heritage preservation, which rather than being considered as a new category of cultural heritage, refers to a new way of approaching the management of historic cities. This new approach transcends the concept of Historic Centre and takes a vision of the city where the study is not only the isolated monument but the sum of the environment that is the element that adds value to it. Cuenca began implementation of the 2011 Recommendation with a multidisciplinary study that creates a proven methodology for the city’s Historic Center. However, the El Ejido zone, which has a direct link to the Historic Center and is part of its buff er and protection area, is still pending. This study focuses on the fi rst expansion zone of the city (El Ejido), which has a modern heritage and urban characteristics worthy of preservation and which, thanks to the complications of urban growth and globalization, are being strongly threatened. Therefore, a methodology based on the territorial exploration of cities that are already implementing the study of the Historic Urban Landscape is proposed to take them as a reference and obtain from these good practices that feed the methodology to be implemented in one of the landscape units validated for the sector of El Ejido showing guidelines for its conservation.
Diseño de red de espacios públicos bajo los conceptos de sustentabilidad en la zona de Yanuncay de la ciudad de Cuenca
(2014) Auquilla Zambrano, Silvia Alexandra; López Delgado, Dolores Samaria; Vintimilla Andrade, Silvana Tatiana; Hermida Palacios, María Augusta
In Yanuncay, a neighborhood in Cuenca-Ecuador, there is a string of unconnected public spaces at pedestrian level. The main way to arrive to them is through roads designed for motorized vehicles. Our intention is to offer a system of open spaces, linked through with well-designed connections for pedestrian and cyclists. With this we intend to create a system of public spaces that will enrich the urban life of the area. A configurational analysis of the area was carried out focusing on land use, pedestrian and cyclist movement flows and their perception, collected through a survey. The data was analyzed with space syntax and wayfinding perspectives. With this information a public space network has been planned, taking into account the existing movement flows and the actual use patterns of the public space in the area.
El paisaje en la perspectiva de la comunidad, identificando el patrimonio en Cuenca, Ecuador
(UNIVERSIDAD DE MALAGA (UMA), 2018) Siguencia Avila, Maria Eugenia; Auquilla Zambrano, Silvia Alexandra
Based on the Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscapes (HUL) issued by UNESCO in 2011 that recognises the crucial role of communities for heritage management on its context, this paper aims to depict how, through the integration of community, it is possible to identify assets that have not necessarily been considered so far in heritage conservation processes. This study analyses the collective registers of elements that characterise an adjacent zone to the historic centre named “El Ejido”. The results obtained allow understanding the nature of heritage elements in different areas and intends to become in a source to improve heritage management processes through citizen articipation.

Pérdida de edificaciones en tierra en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador.
(Coordinación de Publicaciones y Difusión de FADA/UNA, 2016) Vintimilla Andrade, Silvana Tatiana
The Historic Center of Cuenca (CHC), Cultural Heritage of Humanity (PUH) since 1999, manifests its Outstanding Universal Value (VUE) by witnessing the exchange of human values in time reflected in its architecture, technology and urban planning. As for its technology, within the CHC, a large number of structures that contribute to the heritage value of the city still maintain the land as their primary material, however there is also a gradual replacement of ancestral land construction techniques with new architecture or interventions that come from the hand of contemporary materials little compatible. To test this hypothesis, based on the inventories of built heritage assets that have been developed in the city (the year of registration in 1999 and its update in 2010), it is intended through an exploration using geo-reference systems, identify those losses of architecture on land and expose its conservation level. The fields related to the materiality of the land will be considered from the inventory file and from this maps will be generated for the analysis in the two mentioned temporalities. The results are intended to show in percentage the buildings that maintain the land as a predominant material, as well as those in which this particular characteristic has been altered. The study through geo-reference maps will visually identify clusters and serve as a reference to the timing of appropriate intervention actions.
Revalorización del patrimonio cultural y natural de Cuenca, a partir de estrategias de desarrollo sostenible, apoyadas en la figura del paisaje urbano histórico

Are compact cities more sustainable? Which are the differences between urban administrative boundaries and the real city limits? Is the dichotomy real and useful? between rural and urban? To what extent the urban edge power or limit the interactions between the city and its surroundings rural? What are the potentialities of ecotones urban? How to face phenomena such as occupation irregular and self-construction of living space? What so effective are urban planning processes and which Are your limitations? What are the current trends of the cities in our country and region? Which are the possible future scenarios and how are we incorporating them? What are the main challenges we will face during the next 30 years? How is the research contributing To answer these challenges?

Territorial exploration to implement the recommendation on historic urban landscapes for the development area of el ejido in Cuenca, Ecuador
(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2020) Auquilla Zambrano, Silvia Alexandra
Cuenca in Ecuador is a growing city, weak in the face of the changes that the expansion phenomenon implies. The area of El Ejido was the first expansion area of the city with valuable samples of the arrival of modernity in the city. Nowadays, this sector is not exempted from the effects of urban growth and deserves to be managed through a proper management plan for its preservation. Degraded landscapes have been identified, modern heritage architecture shows clear symptoms of abandonment and low maintenance, causing the disappearance of historic buildings. Given these and other problems associated with urban development, Cuenca, like other cities, has taken the initiative of adopting the Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) adopted by UNESCO in 2011, as a measure to safeguard urban heritage. In 2014, the implementation of this relatively new approach was first initiated in the pilot area of the Historic City Centre of Cuenca. This area was included in the World Heritage List in 1999 based on criteria II, IV, and V.However, aware of the significant heritage values embedded at El Ejido and its close urban and landscape link with the Historical City Center, the aim of this research is the implementation of the HUL's approach in a specific area located in El Ejido. Due to the clear difference between this sector and the Historical City Center, it is necessary to assess the first methodology used and work on a methodology that can be extrapolated to this sector and further on to other sectors of the city. To obtain the methodology for this area, it is essential to carry out a territorial exploration in cities with similar characteristics to Cuenca that are implementing an approach based on the study of the Historical Urban Landscape Recommendation.
