Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Revitalización de un corredor verde en Cuenca como espacio de transición urbana en el sector de Gapal(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Espinoza León , Evelyn KassandraThis thesis develops a proposal for an urban greenway as a comprehensive strategy for public space revitalization and environmental improvement in a consolidated urban area. The study begins with a territorial, urban, and landscape diagnosis that identifies key issues such as spatial fragmentation, a shortage of green areas, low landscape quality, and limited sustainable mobility. Using a descriptive and project-based methodological approach, the research proposes an intervention that integrates green infrastructure, active mobility, and public spaces for use and stay, incorporating principles of sustainability, universal accessibility, and contemporary urban design. The proposal includes the reorganization of the road corridor through the incorporation of bike lanes, pedestrian pathways, resting areas, and native vegetation, thereby strengthening both ecological and social connectivity. Additionally, the study proposes solutions aimed at improving thermal comfort, enhancing perceived safety, and fostering community appropriation of urban space. The results demonstrate that the integration of green infrastructure significantly contributes to urban revitalization, the mitigation of environmental impacts, and the consolidation of a more balanced and functional landscape. It is concluded that the urban greenway represents a viable alternative for promoting sustainable, resilient, and inclusive urban development.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Estrategias de integración de comunidades energéticas fotovoltaicas en la morfología urbana de las parroquias de Baños y Ricaurte: caso de la línea 100 en Cuenca, Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Avila Barriga, Mateo Nicolás; Vasquez Riera, Jhon LuisThis study analyzes the feasibility of integrating photovoltaic energy communities to support electric public transportation on Line 100 in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, with a focus on the parish centers of Baños and Ricaurte. The study is based on the analysis of the urban configuration of these areas, characterized by a residential structure that facilitates proximity between households and energy consumption points linked to the transport system. From this territorial condition, a decentralized energy generation model is proposed that combines the installation of solar panels on residential rooftops with the implementation of load centers for electric buses in each parish. The system includes 312 potentially generating households, each of which is equipped with four 450 Wp photovoltaic panels, resulting in a total of 1,248 panels within the residential fabric. This generation is supplemented by 312 additional panels at each load center, strengthening the energy capacity destined for the mobility system. Under the average solar radiation conditions of southern Ecuador—close to 4 peak sun hours per day—the energy produced allows covering the demand required for the daily operation of the electric bus fleet of Line 100. The results show that the integration of distributed photovoltaic generation within the urban fabric allows the operation of the transport system to be sustained, demonstrating that the community can actively participate in the production of the energy that drives public mobility.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Análisis comparativo del sistema Steel Framing y el hormigón armado como alternativas para la construcción de viviendas unifamiliares(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Machuca Alvarez, Andrés NicolasThis paper presents a comparative analysis of the Steel Framing construction system and reinforced concrete as alternatives for constructing single-family housing in Ecuador, within a context marked by a housing deficit and the need to optimize costs, timelines, and resources. The research is justified by the limited dissemination and application of industrialized construction systems, despite their technical, economic, and environmental potential. The main objective is to evaluate the feasibility of Steel Framing compared to reinforced concrete, considering its advantages and limitations. The study is a descriptive-comparative approach with a mixed methodology, based on documentary review, regulatory analysis, case studies, and comparison of costs, construction times, technical requirements, environmental impact, and flexibility. The research focuses on single-family housing, using secondary data and case studies. The results show that Steel Framing offers significant advantages in terms of cost and time reduction, lower environmental impact, and greater flexibility, establishing itself as a viable and efficient alternative, especially for public interest housing projects.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026) Morales Albarracín, María PazItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de titulación embargado para publicación(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2026-04-15) Arevalo Jaramillo, Nancy Fernanda; Salinas Guarnizo, Anderson Oswaldo
