Estrategia de resiliencia ambiental frente al cambio climático que permita incrementar el índice verde urbano en la ciudad de Machala

Abstract

Green spaces within cities play a very important role in the face of all the anthropic activities that citizens carry out, however this is a very remote situation for the reality that the City of Machala lives, hence the present study aims to analyze the urban green index taking into account indicators established within the development plan and land use, the research is qualitative, not experimental with an explanatory, descriptive approach, for this purpose, only urban parishes were considered and They will describe the existing green spaces in them with the help of the guide form provided by the Inec and GPS data software to obtain greater precision of the places, all this information was complemented with a bibliographic review in scientific articles, magazines and reports of local entities and national countries, subsequently a population estimation was carried out to obtain a greater accuracy in the Urban Green Index, which was 1.10m2/inhab. This value is well below the WHO minimum recommendation of 9m2/inhab. ArcGis was used to graphically represent the study area and finally areas susceptible to an intervention are proposed as a resilience strategy in the face of the urban-environmental impact generated by the population demand, as well as, illegal or irregular settlements and everything that these imply.
