Comportamiento del mercado del suelo en el periurbano de la ciudad de Cuenca: Caso de estudio: San Joaquín

Abstract

The study determines the relationship between price and land use in San Joaquín, periurban of the city of Cuenca. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology was adopted, with special emphasis on the exploratory analysis of spatial data as an essential tool to understand the dynamics of spatial processes and the implementation of a linear regression model. The results show that industries and facilities are powerful income generators, despite the fact that their distribution does not generate high-density areas of this same use, but rather act as nuclei that attract population, economic activities and infrastructure. On the other hand, personal services also generate high profitability, unlike industries and equipment, these tend to concentrate in the same area, giving rise to urban centralities that drive the circulation of capital, followed by personal services, with a lower degree of profitability. However, the economic activity with the lowest profitability is commerce. These findings indicate that industries, facilities and personal services are land uses that significantly influence the variation of land prices, due to the synergies and dynamics that are established in a centrality or in its immediate surroundings.
