Proyectos urbanos de revitalización: selección técnica de proyecto mediante metodología

Abstract

On the one hand, small cities face abandonment due to the lack of job opportunities and with it loss of identity, non existing development and social uncertainty. There is a need for urban revitalization projects that ease those problems through a multidisciplinary approach.

On the other hand, cities face several urban problems caused by the lack of appropiate planning. Urban projects are not well-founded or justified. In many cases, they are just instruments in politic campaigns or managed by private economic interests.

This thesis replicates and extend a multicriteria methodology of urban revitalization project priorization to choose the most suitable urban project for Sigsig city. This methodology is developed in four stages:

1 Urban Revitalization criteria selection (Fuzzy Delphi Method is used).

2 Stablish relationships between the selected criteria (Interpretative Structure Modeling is used).

3 Social inclusion on the decision making priorization of the urban project alternatives. (Cumulative voting is used)

4 Comparison of the criteria against 4 final project alternatives, and priorization ranking generation of the most suitable urban revitalization project. (Analytic Network Process is used)

Finally, a urban intervention proposal is generated based on the methodological analysis for the efficient and appropiate implementation of the prioritized project.
