Hacia una red de espacios públicos verdes en el área urbana de la ciudad de Tena

Análisis de área verde por habitante y proximidad de la población

Abstract

Tena, being an Ecuadorian Amazonian city, is surrounded by protected areas and has natural green spaces within its urban configuration. This characteristic invites us to reconsider how human settlements, which are located in these ecosystems, can improve their relationship with the nature and the landscape, as indicated by the United Nations. This one promotes the construction of inclusive, connected, safe and accessible public spaces.

Therefore, this study aims to identify and categorize the green public spaces of the urban area of Tena city underneath the following parameters: surface, environmental, mobility and accessibility, services, cultural, security, government and social dynamics, economy and infrastructure. In addition, the indicators of green area per inhabitant and the proximity of the population to public spaces are analyzed, in relation to the data obtained from the census and the identification of green spaces.

Consequently, the results of this study shows the coverage of accessible public spaces in the urban area of Tena city in relationship with their surface area and proximity in order to promote a network of green public spaces.
