"DISEÑO DE CABAÑAS ECOLÓGICAS CON FINES TURÍSTICAS EN SANTA CRUZ-GALÁPAGOS"

Abstract

Given the natural wonders of the Galapagos Islands, belonging to the territory of Ecuador, the ecotourism who come to the islands each year has increased precipitously. It has meant that in Santa Cruz, one of the four main formations that make up the archipelago, the failure of the housing fund for this purpose do not allow to cover the existing demand for housing. This research provides the design proposal of an ecological camp cabins for tourism purposes, closely with the local nature and managing sustainability concepts, to promote the development of the area creating jobs and economic activities to support tourism and allows users to meet their needs and interact closely with the surrounding environment.
