Abstract

This research proposes a methodology for the evaluation of the “qualitative deficit of the public space”, in response to the gaps and weaknesses presented by Colombian regulations. It focuses on the individual assessment of the qualitative state of the various elements of the public space (sports, children and residence scales of influence or neighborhood, zonal or regional influence scenarios), allowing its spatial representation and territorial analysis in the framework of the planning process and land use planning. The case study applied in the city of Monteria, Colombia, validates the operation of the methodology, evidencing the affectation of the quality of life of the citizens due to the inadequate conditions that do not guarantee the functionality of the public space.

Keywords:
