Diseño de corredores verdes para articular los parques de La Alborada y Oscus en la ciudad de Ambato, Tungurahua

Abstract

The present research addresses the central problem of the study, located within the area defined for the development of the thesis, where urban and social conditions that have shaped the current state of the territory are identified. The analysis is constructed through a review of the context, the characterization of the site, and the description of the dynamics that influence the space. The study establishes a general objective aimed at understanding and describing the processes that occur in the analyzed sector, accompanied by specific objectives that allow the development of a diagnosis, the examination of the main components, and the formulation of a proposal based on the results obtained. The scope of the research covers the period defined for the study and is carried out within the delimited territorial area, considering the actors, users, and elements that take part in the dynamics of the place. The information generated corresponds to the analysis of the space and the conditions present in the environment. The methodological approach is structured under a qualitative design, supported by techniques such as observation, data collection, documentary research, normative analysis, and the use of spatial representation tools. The process incorporates exploratory and descriptive methods that allow the interpretation of relationships between the territory and the identified phenomena. The results reveal patterns, behaviors, and transformations present in the study area. It is identified that ramps exist in certain points of the sector, but their distribution does not cover all the spaces where they are required, generating discontinuities in pedestrian routes. In this context, curb cuts are recognized as elements that resolve level changes in sections where ramps are not implemented. Likewise, the presence of sustainable materials applied along the green corridor routes is recorded, which respond to environmental criteria related to space management. It is also observed that green corridors function as an alternative to articulate public-use areas, promote spatial continuity, and organize pedestrian movement within the analyzed area. The proposal is formulated based on the collected information and the analysis carried out, integrating guidelines, criteria, and strategies that correspond to the elements identified throughout the research process. The approach organizes the structure of the project and defines the essential components for its development within the study area. The conclusions present a synthesis of the research process, describe the most relevant aspects of the territory, and outline the relationship between the results and the generated proposal
