Abstract

Urban planning is a complex issue that encompasses different processes to achieve integral human development, raising people's quality of life. However, from the different cantonal decentralized autonomous governments, they have not adequately committed and empowered the following criteria beyond what COOTAD determines and the objectives of the National Development Plan a lifetime, avoidance of shortcomings when ordering the various economic activities within the territory, thus generating various social problems, such as the distribution and organization of traders. In the city of Machala there is a great social conflict between urban planning and spatial distribution of traders in and around the central market. There is great chaos among vendors who offer their products under depressing conditions in terms of criteria of quality and hygiene standards, which results in a chaotic situation with very latent socio-economic problems, such as, human overcrowding, environmental pollution, citizen insecurity, conditional access to basic services, inadequate, infrastructure, reduced road and pedestrian access, job precariousness and a combination of bad odours that impacts on the deterioration of image and urban order.
