Capacity of Constructive Reception Through the Geo-Spatial Analysis of Physical Soil Variables in Ibarra, Ecuador

Abstract:

In the city of Ibarra, comprehensive scientific studies are limited to those that are analyzed in the territory from the physical point of view. Based on the problem of expansion due to population growth, this study analyzes the physical variables of the soil based on the photo-interpretation of the geoforms, which is the basic unit of analysis. This methodology is a tool from which it is possible to locate suitable areas for the expansion urban establishment. This analysis is based on the physical suitability of the place related to the preservation of the environment and the present natural characteristics (impact). Through this process categorized areas are obtained to establish or not the constructive compatibility. In the city of Ibarra, the predominant category is acceptable because it is located in the area with slight limitations for construction and null for the threat of landslides and floods, these conditions are favorable for the establishment of constructive activities.
