Fibras vegetales de totora y cabuya y su aplicación en espacios interiores de viviendas sociales de la Parroquia Totoras

Abstract

The present research project was based on analyzing the properties of vegetable fibers of totora and cabuya for its application in interior spaces of social dwellings of the Totoras Parish, raised as an alternative against the poor comfort of interior environments, because the spaces are few habitable and uncomfortable, since they were designed without any user analysis. From this derives the need to reach ecological and sustainable environments, ensuring interior comfort with the use of vegetable fibers of cattail and cabuya in the internal spaces, optimizing the natural resources available for housing to be habitable and comfortable. The proposed fibers according to their properties, allow to provide comfortable spaces as far as interior comfort is concerned, raising the habitability levels of the residences. They are materials that can be found in the ecosystem, they do not cause damage to the environment as they are sustainable fibers whose renewal capacity is immediate. The research is descriptive and exploratory, based on the modality of mixed research: documentary and field literature. Thus, techniques and instruments were also used for data collection, such as: bibliography, interviews, observation and surveys of the inhabitants of social housing who perceive the interior spaces on a daily basis. This research project allowed to know the importance of vegetable fibers of totora and cabuya, its application in interior spaces of social housing, benefiting the inhabitants of these residences by raising the levels of interior comfort, obtaining habitable and sustainable environments.
