Lineamientos de intervención urbana para la zona de amortiguamiento del Complejo Arqueológico de Coyoctor

Abstract

The growth of the cities and urban activity expansion to places with Archaeological sites or centers need an appropriate planification and territorial ordering, this is so we can promote the conservation of these estates without it affecting the development of settlements and surrounding population. Under these premises there have been protection zones or buffer zone generated surrounding the sites and estates with an Exceptional Unique Value (EUV) , that’s have been used as a shield against the negative impact of the environment and it’s internal and external elements, meaning it is necessary to provide technical regulations and a management model for these areas and its heritage, though the territorial changes are inevitable this shouldn’t mean losing the value of the estate. By formulating Urban Intervention guidelines for the Coyoctor Archaeological Complex’ buffer zone, it is looking for the protection of its historic memories and culture against the urban activity expansion produces by the nearby population and their settlement, this process was based on a methodology developed from the analysis of study cases with similar characteristics and context; it began by delimiting a buffer zone and determining its current internal and external state, identifying the existing problematic in relation to the Archaeological estate, developing and objective system and strategic axes that would determine the different guidelines. The guidelines are oriented to the conservation of the estate and its relation with the activities developed around it, this becoming an opportunity to act on the various negative aspects that have been identified in the buffer zone as well as to maximize the present values on site.
