PROPUESTA DE JARDÍN BOTÁNICO INTEGRAL PARA LA CONSERVACIÓN DEL ECOSISTEMA DE HUMEDALES, UBICADO EN LA PARROQUIA LA PUNTILLA DEL CANTÓN SAMBORONDÓN.

Abstract

The following investigation of analytical-synthetic character takes as main figure the emergent city of Samborondón, and takes on a study of background information pertinent to the case such as its origin and urban growth, as well as the model of development to which it has been subject, which ends in the identification of tangible problems within the urban and environmental reality of the city, which without further preamble, critically affects its quality of life and social future. Through the investigation of valid theories for the understanding of the figure of study, which ranges from urban sustainability to the conceptualization of one of the most significant ecosystems in Samborondón << the wetland ecosystem >>, hand in hand with attached methodological tools requiring citizen participation, such as surveys and interviews, it is possible to deepen even more in the hypothesis to be presented. Finally, the methodological results, the study of analogous cases and the respective site analysis, are key resources for the materialization of the proposed botanical garden model for La Puntilla, located in Samborondón, under the concept of urban ecotone, which seeks to conserve the wetland ecosystem present in agricultural land, enhancing the synergy between the community and its surrounding nature
