PLAN GUÍA DE DISEÑO Y CONSTRUCCIÓN DE VIVIENDAS UNIFAMILIARES EN EL CANTÓN JAMA, MANABI.

Abstract

The 2016 earthquake in Ecuador affected several families causing the collapse of the buildings in the province of Manabí, in the face of this event an immediate response plan that can meet the need is considered necessary. The focus of this work is to provide an innovative alternative for sustainable housing through the use of natural materials-endemic to the area. Also, this methodology can be applied to buildings other than residential use such as gazebos, offices, workshops. The use of the material could reduce costs in its execution causing a greater number of houses to be built, thus also improving functionality and conserving the environment through good practices that generate the least amount of waste and less negative impact.
