Inclusive urban improvement alternatives for the human settlement Alcázar del Café

Abstract

The aim of this research was to reach from the analysis of multiple variables of the territory to the proposals and strategies for the urban-architectural improvement for the human settlement, based on its present problems, through the formulating of collectively agreed alternatives from an architectural perspective that allows the improvement of living conditions, collective spaces and quality of life of its inhabitants; at the same time, contribute to the community in the process of legalization of the neighborhood. To address the process a methodology divided into four phases or moments was used; the first was focused on the approach to the neighborhood and its empirical recognition; in the second phase a complete diagnosis of the territory was carried out; in the third phase there was in interaction with the neighbors to make proposals and then address their applicability in the final phase. During the research was identified mainly that the inhabitants of this urbanization have a poor use and appropriation of existing public spaces, what makes the community does not have good relations each other; besides is evident the disarticulation between the government agencies with the real needs of the community what ultimately encourages participation of academia in the pursuit of specify processes among the different actors involved in this territory.
