Borde integral sostenible: Diseño del borde periurbano desde el concepto de transición aplicado a la zona sur de Duitama – Boyacá

Abstract

The following investigation intends to put in perspective the current situation of the zone of southern expansion of Duitama as edge; from the analysis of the elements of the territory from the environmental, social and economic, which are essential in the design and planning process. From the design of an element of transition between the rural and urban area is intended to enable the connection through the design of democratic public space, green areas, surfaces (hard and soft) that allow the development of different activities where users have a constant flow over it. One of the main problems that are evident in Duitama corresponds to the lack of urban structure articulated to the public space in a sustainable way, for which the existence of the periphery zone is the union that makes possible the development of a prototype of versatile transition compared to the potentialization of social and environmental character. After the foregoing, the concept of border applied to the territorial design of the urban and rural relationship is developed, which aims to configure strategies that can comprehensively address the shortcomings of the traditional models of urban growth that Duitama has presented throughout the history emphasizing the relationship between the existing population and the occupation of the territory, as well as the latent need for public space from a general perspective; since there is no membership due to the physical quality that implies through the activities carried out there, because it is located in a space of divergence between urban-rural that has different characteristics.
