Sustainable bioclimatic urban design for Santiago de Veraguas Central AvenueBarra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Introducción: La avenida Central de Santiago de Veraguas presenta deterioro de aceras, ausencia de áreas verdes y disconfort térmico. Objetivo: Contribuir al mejoramiento del diseño urbano mediante una propuesta arquitectónica bioclimática y sostenible. Método: Investigación proyectiva mixta, descriptiva y transversal; se aplicaron fichas de observación, encuesta a 60 transeúntes y análisis climático con Meteonorm, Climate Consultant y sunearthtools. Resultados: Se registraron cero áreas verdes, cero ciclovías y cero drenajes sostenibles, solo dos árboles y mobiliario deteriorado; el clima tropical (Am) mostró 27,8 °C medios y alta radiación. Conclusiones: La propuesta por tramos con más de 300 árboles, ciclovía y drenaje sostenible integra las estrategias de ventilación y enfriamiento vegetal requeridas.
Introduction: Santiago de Veraguas Central Avenue shows deteriorated sidewalks, absence of green areas and thermal discomfort. Objective: To contribute to urban design improvement through a bioclimatic and sustainable architectural proposal. Method: Mixed projective, descriptive and cross-sectional research; observation records, a survey of 60 passers-by and climate analysis with Meteonorm, Climate Consultant and sunearthtools were applied. Results: Zero green areas, zero cycle paths and zero sustainable drains, only two trees and deteriorated furniture were recorded; the tropical climate (Am) showed 27.8 °C mean temperature and high radiation. Conclusion: The section-based proposal with more than 300 trees, a cycle path and sustainable drainage integrates the required ventilation and vegetative cooling strategies. Key words: Green areas; Sidewalks; Sustainability; Thermal comfort; Urban design.
