Abstract

El Malecón Lineal del Cantón Villamil Playas fue un proyecto urbano-arquitectónico ejecutado por la Prefectura del Guayas en conjunto con el Municipio de Playas. Este espacio recreativo consta de una larga extensión costera; por esta razón, el proyecto se dividió en tres etapas, de las cuales 2 de 3 se encuentran concluidas; esta última etapa es una oportunidad de intervención urbana regenerativa. Las inundaciones en el sector de Esterillo, Villamil Playas, Ecuador, han venido incrementándose exponencialmente en las últimas décadas debido a varios factores influyentes, como las aguas y las lluvias. Esto ha afectado el comercio, el turismo, la salud e incluso la seguridad del sector. Por esta razón, este estudio propone estrategias de desarrollo sostenible mediante la implementación de infraestructura azul y verde. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa, con un alcance descriptivo. El diseño de investigación fue no experimental-transaccional, y se utilizaron como instrumentos la ficha de observación y la encuesta. Los resultados más importantes indican que implementar infraestructura azul y verde puede traer múltiples beneficios en los que se utilizan eficientemente los recursos para el uso de los cuerpos de agua y la protección a través de la cobertura vegetal expresados ​​en 4 propuestas estratégicas. Se concluye que implementar estrategias enfocadas al desarrollo sustentable configura un entorno paisajístico que eleva la imagen urbana e integra los usos dirigidos de la población.

Our research group is a multidisciplinary group interested in developing new technologies within the field of architecture and territorial planning to provide an optimal solution to problems within urban planning, construction, city development and people's ways of living. Our group is made up of three academics and we have extensive experience in executing research projects published in high-impact journals and books, laboratory, experimental, longitudinal studies, and qualitative approaches. And how many. These approaches have allowed us to develop a linear knowledge model that improves the ability to understand and manage new technologies to improve the quality of life and sustainability in the territory.
