PROPUESTA DE DISEÑO DE UN PARQUE URBANO INCLUSIVO SOSTENIBLE EN LA PARROQUIA LA PUNTILLA EN EL CANTÓN SAMBORONDON

Abstract

The research takes place in the Samborondon area of Guayaquil City, Ecuador. In order to pinpoint the main issue happening in the urban site, a previous background check had to take place. The sites environmental and historic data was assessed and analyzed in order to determine the main problem. The gathered information, plus data answered by the current population living on site led to an accurate assessment of the main issue. The population of the site was asked via interviews and surveys a designed sheet of questions in order to make a compilation of the correct information. The problem is the evident lack of green urban areas in the researched land. The population of Samborondon has little to none spaces for recreation not plain urban walking spaces. Apart from that main issue, it was also possible to analyze that the population interviewed was not entirely familiarized with the definitions of sustainability and universal access to places. It is with this information that the project in course was proposed: the construction of an urban sustainable and universal walking park. The main mission of this urban park is to integrate all Samborondon population in a place where all groups are welcome without any segregation whatsoever, and also represent a safe place where all may enjoy, interact and relax. This project intends to become a part of Samborondon’s population customs and traditions, and bury in their principles becoming more inclusive while taking notice and care of the environment that surrounds them.
