Intervención en el parque de la juventud en la parroquia urbana General Leonidas Plaza

Abstract

The city of General Leonidas Plaza, located in Limon Indanza in the Amazon region of Ecuador, has a series of tangible and intangible natural and cultural resources, that have to be protected and potentiated. This city, is a settlement with few years of foundation, so it is in costant economic and social development. This changes and transformations, require spaces that allows social interaction of the population, through the creation of recreative and amusement areas. The recreative spaces in the city, have deficient conditions in their performance and infrastructure, causing the degradation of the urban image, limiting the correct development of recreative activities and causing the loss of public spaces, that allows social and cultural integration of the population. Nowadays, it has settled a space in the shore of Yunganza´s river, for the implementation of El parque de la Juventud. The restoration of this space as a recreative zone, is necessary to create a project that integrates the natural and constructed context of the city, in order to promote recreative activities and avoid the degradation of the landscape and its urban image.
