    Análisis de la integración urbana del proyecto de vivienda social Jardines del Valle en Cuenca, Ecuador
    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-02-19) Lazo Jara, Michelle Estefanía; Quizhpe González, Joel Stalin; González Llanos, Mónica Janeth
    The objective of this research is to analyze the level of urban integration of the Jardines del Valle social housing project in relation to the existing urban structure and the needs of its residents, based on the premise that housing functionality depends not only on its physical conditions but also on its proper articulation with the services, facilities, and opportunities offered by the city. In this sense, evaluating the degree of urban integration is essential to guide planning strategies aimed at optimizing future social housing projects, considering that such interventions often present weaknesses in their linkage with the urban environment. The study was conducted under a mixed, descriptive, and explanatory approach, applied to 20 housing units through surveys as the main data collection instrument, complemented by interviews and direct observation, which allowed for the integration of objective data related to infrastructure and the surrounding context, as well as subjective information based on residents’ perceptions and experiences. The results reveal a heterogeneous relationship between the housing complex and the city, characterized by differences in access to services, infrastructure, and mobility dynamics; consequently, it is concluded that the project exhibits partial urban integration, conditioned by dependence on the city, perceptions of distance, and limitations in effective access to facilities, factors that influence the appropriation of the environment.

    Reconocimiento, accesibilidad y conservación del entorno natural del sendero Guagualzhumi–Paccha, ubicado en la zona periurbana del sur de la ciudad de Cuenca
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-07-24) Flores Verdugo, Julie Carolina; Murillo Galindo, Cristina Elizabeth; Flores Juca, Gonzalo Enrique
    Trails, emerging over time without formal planning, have played diverse roles in the Equatorial Andes during the pre-Hispanic period. In particular, the trail that crosses the Guagualzhumi hill, with its historical importance and natural environment rich in biodiversity, becomes the focus of this research. Since the pre-Hispanic period, the trails have served various administrative, religious, military and economic purposes, connecting different areas of the Andina region. In this research, a description of the historical background of the Guagualzhumi -Paccha trail is made, from its origin to its relationship with the Qhapaq Ñan, in order to understand its role within this pre-Hispanic road system that crossed the territories of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, which includes several Andean cities, among which Tomebamba (current city of Cuenca) stands out. It is important to note that this trail was considered to be of lesser traffic compared to other routes, and played a significant role in this road system as it was used mainly for military purposes by the pre-Hispanic settlements. The Guagualzhumi hill offers a large number of panoramic views and is home to rich native vegetation and fauna. In this research, a reconnaissance and description of the current state of the trail that crosses it is carried out, with the intention of obtaining a more detailed vision of the natural environment and defining the areas that require greater intervention. This will allow us to propose strategies to improve the mobility and accessibility of the trail, while at the same time preserving its natural environment. From this context, the research focuses on the analysis of accessibility and mobility to the Guagualzhumi - Paccha trail, which is considered a highaltitude sanctuary with important archeological evidence.
