Estudio del uso de suelo en el peri-urbano de la ciudad de Cuenca, desde las estructura urbana, zona de expansión del sector Machángara hacia la parroquia Ricaurte

Abstract

The present thesis has for object to generate guidelines for a model of performance in the zones of expansion of the city of Cuenca, in terms of land use. All this process is supported by analysis through a new methodology, where the lands uses form groups in processes, for a better understanding of the city.

This study begins with the theoretical framework that addresses the main characteristics of the urban structure of cities over time, and the operational definitions with respect to the processes in which the land uses are grouped for analysis.

Subsequently, the study area is delimited, and the land use survey is carried out.

Once the information is collected, the analysis of uses is performed. For which we proceed to use the methodology mentioned above, which gives us as a result the urban structure of the study area, in this case the area of expansion of the Machángara sector to the parish Ricaurte. The results obtained are represented graphically, for a better understanding of the territory.

Finally, these results generate guidelines for a future model of performance in the expansion areas of the city, which meet the objective of thesis work.
