Centro ecoturístico como espacio para la experiencia sensitiva del adulto mayor

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of the design of an ecotourism center for the elderly, perceived as a recreational space that positively impacts the physical and mental health of the user. Currently, the stress and dynamics of large cities directly affect the health of its inhabitants due to environmental, auditory and visual pollution as a result of industrial activities, high traffic flow, excessive growth, and so on. Within the category of large cities is Bogotá, with problems of mobility, pollution, growth in height of infrastructures and a high increase in population per square meter. Therefore, the project focuses on the elderly resident in the city of Bogotá and its surroundings, physically located in the municipality of La Vega-Cundinamarca in order to take advantage of its proximity to the city, its climatic characteristics and its natural structure., qualities that favor the development of a space for rest and occupation of free time that provides both physical and mental well-being in the user.
