Readecuación del antiguo peaje de Chaquilcay para la recuperación y activación del espacio público

Abstract

The abandonment of the old toll booth at Chaquilcay has generated a series of problems in the area, such as insecurity, vandalism, deterioration of the urban landscape, environmental pollution, and underutilization of the space. These conditions affect residents and visitors, harming coexistence and the area’s development. A descriptive and exploratory approach is used to collect quantitative and qualitative data to address this situation. This information helps identify the community’s needs and possible ways to improve the current state of the space, prioritizing the analysis of the perceptions and contributions of the affected inhabitants and merchants. Based on the data obtained, an urban-architectural intervention that seeks to recover public space and enhance the urban image is proposed to contribute to the local economy and promote citizen integration. The proposal also aims to foster local development and activate the area, positively impacting the economic, social, and cultural spheres.
