Estudio técnico para la regeneración urbana de la ciudad de Babahoyo, para el año 2021

Abstract

The objective of this research work was to develop a proposal for urban regeneration in Babahoyo city, and to establish a vehicular and pedestrian system that provides safe mobility to citizens. The project was carried out with a mixed approach, qualitative and quantitative, due to the fact that numerical data and percentages were used, which information was gotten using the survey technique through a questionnaire directed to the different passers-by in the urban area of Babahoyo city, who move around the study area. The qualitative method was developed, with the help of an observation sheet that showed the current state of the infrastructure, horizontal and vertical signaling in the urban area of Babahoyo city, which were analyzed and interpreted and with the results obtained the respective requirements were determined. After the data collection with the respective observation sheets, three conflictive areas were visited during rush hour, where it was determined which avenue requires urban regeneration as it presents the greatest mobility problems for both pedestrians and drivers. It is concluded that Garcia Moreno Avenue is highly commercial, does not provide safe mobility for both pedestrians and drivers, in the same way lacks fords to facilitate accessibility to people with special abilities to the physical environment, and have a sparse signage that does not comply with current INEN 004 part 1 and 2 regulations. It is recommended to the Municipal Government of Babahoyo and the TRANSVIAL-EP Company, to develop a project for the regeneration of Garcia Moreno Avenue, immediately, with the only purpose of improving mobility in the sector, which will be of benefit to homeowners in the sector, also, for pedestrians and drivers who circulate every day to shop in the sector, and thus allow an appropriate environment of coexistence, in harmony as established by the rights of citizens in the current Constitution of our country
