Diseño de espacio público para acceso a viviendas palafíticas con riesgo de inundaciones en la cabecera municipal San Andrés de Tumaco, comunidad los Morritos.

Abstract

This degree work presents a proposal for the development of public space for stilt houses in threat and risk areas that are located in the municipal seat of San Andrés de Tumaco in the Los Morritos community. It was identified that the area does not have provision of basic services and the houses are not fit to be habitable, which is demonstrated under two components. The first refers to the precarious infrastructure conditions of the houses and the second component is the difficulty of mobilization between houses and communities. Testimonies and surveys of the inhabitants of the area were collected, which showed that the most important problem is the heavy flooding that occurs in the morning hours and limits the mobility of the community. Thus, a model of public space and a prototype of a stilt house with universal accessibility characteristics were developed, which guarantee mobility to the houses and structuring of the basic energy service.
