URBAN GROWTH SCENARIOS FOR THE YEARS 2017 AND 2022 OF THE CITY OF PORTOVIEJO, MANABI-ECUADOR, FROM CELLULAR AUTOMATA

Abstract:

Urban sprawl is, today, a phenomenon characteristic of areas with high population density and building spaces nearby and the city of Portoviejo is no exception. Human settlements in the city grow spontaneously, without planning, no precise boundaries between urban and rural areas are established, increasingly they occupy protected areas, steep slopes and riverbanks. This work, therefore seeks to generate urban growth scenarios based on cellular automata for the city of Portoviejo for the years 2017 and 2022. The study finds cellular automata as a dynamic tool for pbkp_redicting future scenarios of urban spot the city by the DINAMICA EGO software and model Land Use Cover Change, taking into account variables dynamic and static as roads, rivers, plains of the river, airport, sewage plant, elevation 100 m, distance to roads, inverse distance river, DEM and slopes, the DEM being the most relevant for the model …
