Application of Geometric Method for the territorial planning of sports spaces. Case Study: Delta Campus of the University of Guayaquil

Abstract

The educational community at a higher level has direct influence with the use of public space and its use characteristics translated into recreational, contemplative or sports activities; The latter generates a high influence in determining the quality of life and health status of the student at the University of Guayaquil, which is currently a paused process; since the provision of public spaces exists, but the renewal of sports furniture, equipment and infrastructure is fragmented for two main reasons such as the lack of maintenance and comprehensive provision that promotes a perception of the sports space as sectoral, by only counting according to the perception of the student community as a space within the Faculty of Physical Culture. The lack of maintenance of sports infrastructure and strategic planning for the creation of new spaces and interconnection of current sports spaces, which prevents sports activities from being carried out normally. The objective of this scientific article is to design a planned territorial system of sports spaces applying characterizations of the geometric method based on the evaluation of the central place theory to develop a comprehensive planning scheme with buildable space and green areas. As a conclusion, it is obtained that the interconnection of sports spaces with green areas and public spaces improves the quality of the urban-architectural design through a strategic planned approach.
