Drones en espacios urbanos: Caso de estudio en parques, jardines y patrimonio edificado de Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017) Pacheco Prado, Diego
The conservation of the built heritage and the maintenance of the green areas are important activities in the planning of an urban territory. Traditional methods of mapping often require high costs and relatively long periods of time. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aims to obtain cartographic products and 3D models. The use of photogrammetric techniques can convert photographs captured by the dron into digital information such as orthophotos, digital surface models or 3D models. The information of these urban goods in time series will allow to evaluate the damages and changes of the same over time and thus to execute actions of protection and mitigation of their impacts in a timely manner.
El origen de la ciudad cuadricular hispanoamericana en las nuevas pueblas del bajo medievo español
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017) Tomás Medina, Carmen de
The objective of this work is to identify the urban foundations from which the Hispano-American city was built in the repopulation processes that took place during the Christian Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. The investigation begins in the reign of Alfonso X El sio and it goes until the time of the discovery in a route in which the union between history and urbanism is indissoluble. The crucial moment of this historical journey is precisely its origin, the reign of Alfonso X El Sabio, because in it the urban pattern that will lay the foundations of the future Spanish city in America is discovered. The grid reappears as an urban trace.
Propuesta para un modelo europeo de ciudad sostenible. Caso de estudio: plan urbano de la ciudad de Kalmar
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017) Del Castillo, Alejandro; Sánchez Carrera, Verónica
Understanding the territory, the city and the environment as something not finite, has resulted in an urban growth excessive and disperse, which creates and at the same time reflects, an expanded and more individualistic society. The result, a homogeneous scheme which gives preference to the scattered and individual versus inclusiveness and proximity; to simplicity versus complexity and to private interests where it should say social. Opposite to this town planning arises an alternate urban development based on conservation, reuse, density, diversity and complexity, which ensures the efficiency of the system. An urban development, which sees the city as a frame for action and social exchange. The proposal presented for the urban and development plan for Kalmar Municipality, Sweden, within Europan contest, was based on these theoretical principles. With principles of no construction and minimum intervention, was awarded with the first prize and included as a basis for the urban development plan.
Altares y tianguis: una apología del espacio abierto en Sudamérica
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017) Baros Townsend, Mauricio
If there is a place in Spanish American cities where you can find a perfect symbiosis between the heritage of Native American religion and the Catholic religion is in the main squares of many of these cities, that despite the changes, they allow convergence of ancestral activities as trade with religious festivals that take place in the same space. What this paper aims to examine it is how these spaces were formed on supports various activities that allow them traslucir through a rich heritage that is not only Spanish, but also Muslim and indigenous.
Identificación y análisis de indicadores de sostenibilidad para la movilidad
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Flores Juca, Gonzalo Enrique; García Navarro, Justo; Chica Carmona, Jessica; Mora Arias, Estefanía
This study is the result of the research project: Identification and analysis of sustainability indicators for transport: the case of the rural area of the Cuenca canton. Its objective is to identify a set of sustainability indicators for rural transport with the aim of becoming a planning tool that allows improving social, economic and environmental conditions, from the measurement of the effects generated by the current rural mobility. The conformation of the set of indicators will start from the contribution of studies related to the subject in international contexts, of which, according to defined eligibility criteria, the appropriate indicators will be selected. This final set will be applied in the most representative rural parishes of the canton Cuenca, constituting this process the starting point to reach a desired sustainable mobility.
El transporte público terrestre y la accesibilidad, instrumentos para el análisis funcional del sistema de asentamientos: el caso de Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Fernández de Córdoba, Manuel Benabent
Long-distance public passenger transport by road is one of the principal means for the articulation of the settlements. In Ecuador, public transport is of massive use for long-distance travel and how routes are disponibles, the centers which interconnect, and frequencies of services suggest wich are the main relationships that take place in the territory. When there are no other expressive indicators of these relationships it becomes a fundamental source to know the functioning of urban systems. Likewise, the analysis of territorial accessibility contributes in a complementary way to defining these relationships, especially in areas where there are no public transport connections. The article analyzes territorial relations that occur at different levels of the system of settlements through the transport system and accessibility analysis, and made an approach to areas that are generated around the main nodal centers of Ecuador.
La “ciudad lineal” alternativa al crecimiento imparable de la gran urbe actual
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Maure Rubio, Miguel Angel
The urban concentration has reached the limits of the present city. We can see nowadays its unstoppable growth, becoming, in some regions and countries, megalopolis that absorb up to 80% of its population. It is difficult to predict where the top of its growth will be, given that cities like Buenos Aires take in up to 14 million citizens. Back in 1882, an urbanistic proposal based on a linear growth got ahead the future, trying back then to blend both the rural and the urban life. The linear city would cut across the countryside, linking traditional cities between them and creating a net in the territory. Even though the references to the work of its inventor, Arturo Soria y Mata, are not explicit, his ideas have been taken into account in different urban developments during the last century, and we could nowadays bring them back to debate over the morphology of the present city. The linear city originates an alternative to the housing of all social classes.
Impacto del crecimiento urbano en zonas agrícolas: reserva territorial Atlixcáyotl, Puebla
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Guevara Romero, María Lourdes
The city of Puebla in the last decades has presented a slowed urban growth. Situation that has generated conurbation with contiguous rural localities, where still have agricultural zones with great productive value, as it is the case of San Bernardino Tlaxcalancingo. Place where there are still agricultural zones immersed in the locality, with cultivation of nopal and maize, that are the base of the local economy. This research analyzes the impact of the urban growth of the Atlixcáyotl Territorial Reserve on agricultural areas in order to know how this urban growth has affected the decrease of agricultural areas and thus have the basis for a proposal of urban growth, which takes into account the change of land use of the last three decades, areas of agricultural value and local uses and customs; which have predominated for generations in this locality.
Metodología de ayuda a la decisión mediante SIG e inteligencia artificial: aplicación en la caracterización demográfica de Andalucía a partir de su residencia
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Abarca Alvarez, Francisco Javier; Campos Sánchez, Francisco Sergio; Reinoso Bellido, Rafael
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been widely used for the storage and management of territorial information, being especially useful for the analysis and verification of previously formulated hypotheses and coexisting with relevant spatial components. There are heuristic methodologies that, in contexts such as the present one, of data over-abundance, allow showing their coherence, not necessarily requiring hypotheses or previous formulations to generate knowledge. The combined use of (i) Artificial Intelligence techniques such as the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), namely the Self-Organized Maps (SOM), is proposed. They are very effective and robust by classifying and characterizing profiles in the data. They interact with (ii) machine learning techniques such as decision trees, which are singularly functional in the creation of predictive and interpretable models, with the intention of formulating explanatory hypotheses of the previous profiles, working with other different variables. The research proposes the combination of GIS, SOM and decision trees for the construction of explanatory models of the demographic and social profiles of Andalusia, based on low cost data on the residential dimension. The feasibility of such predictive models and their great value for understanding and as decision support on such territories are evaluated satisfactorily.
A la sombra de las ciudades en flor
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Moreno Pérez, José Ramón; Iglesia Salgado de la, Félix
The contemporary city is informed by a habitability divided between the modes imposed by the devices of "biopolitical democracy" and the shared elaborations of "terrible communities". This produces a shear in its configuration, which install behaviors that try to articulate this unbearable present emptiness in our lives. In four movements, we want to report of “common places, weapon, temporalities, dynamizations…” that treat of that a world appears. We are in the presence of a repeated transit along the construction of modern urbanity, which now has definitely reached -in the complete realization of its original model- become a great "interior". As celebrates that moment of joy and amazement the title of the article, the "prisoner nomads" would now be engaged in the construction of their narrative and arguments.
Lo político en el reciente urbanismo de acciones colectivas en el espacio público y sus implicaciones en algunos contextos latinoamericanos
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2017-07) Alvarez Lombardero, Nuria; González de Canales, Francisco
In recent years, an urban trend has emerged based on collective actions in the public sphere, which is taking a big rise in various locations in Latin America (Colombia, México, Venezuela, among others) and reaching a significant media impact with initiatives such as "Spaces of Peace" in Venezuela. This article discusses the rhetoric on "the political" in this type of collaborative practices and the capability of empowerment that these actions possess. The article analyzes contradictions, limits and real scope of these practices from the most fundamental bases that define “the political” from the perspective of scholars such as Arendt, Castriadis, Mouffe or Sennet. These analyses will allow defining these practices potential in a productive way.
