Diseño urbano a nivel de anteproyecto de los márgenes de protección del río Quintul en Chiquintad, Cuenca, Ecuador

Abstract

The purpose of this degree work is to improve the conditions around the Quintul River through the urban design of its protection margins. The Quintul River constitutes a vital artery that flows through the heart of the Chiquintad community, located in the Province of Azuay, providing its inhabitants and settlement with a series of distinctive characteristics that keep its urban landscape. The proposal arises from the need to recover the banks of the river and provide functional and quality public spaces to take advantage of the natural landscape resources of the river for the benefit of the community. Maintaining the biodiverse ecosystems of the settlement in a sustainable manner. The development of the project has four chapters: The first describes a conceptual framework that provides the basic theoretical basis necessary for the research. The second chapter performs an analysis of existing projects, which provides characteristics and design criteria that serve as a guide for the development of the following proposal. The third chapter carries out an investigation of the area, through this analysis we would look for the current conditions that enable correct decision-making. This will be done through a survey with the participation of the citizens, through this survey it is possible to know their needs and ideas. The fourth chapter develops the preliminary project proposal, this process involves the planning and urban design of a linear park and its complementary spaces. The project aims to harmoniously integrate the Quintul River with the urban environment, recovering the natural landscapes
