Abstract

Development and fast city expansion of Cuenca, Ecuador has generated a huge disparity that evidences low-income groups tend to be expelled to the outskirts; this form of restructuring brings with it a phenomenon called urban gentrification that consists of the displacement of the population with certain economic and social characteristics and in turn causing a certain group of people with greater purchasing power to take over the urban space, resulting in a rise the value of the land and stop being accessible to the original habitants. Within the present work, the data from the INEC 2010 census, the ordinances of the Cuenca canton between the period 2010 - 2020 and information from many digital platforms are collected with the aim of applying a methodology to determine the degree of gentrification existing in the urban parish El Batán Cuenca, Ecuador showing the critical areas through a geographic information system (GIS).
