La silvicultura como generador de confort térmico en el espacio público activo del Distrito Especial de Buenaventura

Abstract

RESUMEN: La investigación demostró que Buenaventura a través de los años ha padecido varias problemáticas, una de ellas se presenta en el confort térmico a nivel urbano, donde se generan entornos inconfortables por la mala utilización de este en espacios muy concurridos del Distrito, es por ello que esta investigación pretende generar confort térmico en los espacios públicos activos de Buenaventura a través de la Silvicultura, donde se usó un enfoque de tipo transversal analítico, el cual permitió la recolección de los datos necesarios que ayudaron a demostrar por medio de la encuesta y el trabajo de campo realizado durante una semana con la cámara térmica a ambos espacios públicos activos del Distrito, la generación de islas de calor presentes en estos lugares, lo que conlleva a la sensación de disconfort térmico, dada por la materialidad con la que fueron construidos, también, por la escases de zonas verdes y especies arbóreas; debido a esto, se puede apreciar una disminución de visitantes en algunos horarios del día. La investigación deduce que, se necesita promover el uso de la silvicultura urbana para generar zonas verdes y especies arbóreas donde se requieran, estas deben ser actas para las condiciones climáticas que presenta el Distrito, ayudando así a la disminución de la radiación solar y generando confort térmico al interior de dichos lugares, con esto se garantizará que las personas que visitan estos espacios públicos se sientan agradables a nivel climático recuperando así la asistencia de turistas y nativos en los diferentes horarios del día.

ABSTRACT: The research shows that Buenaventura has suffered several problems over the years, one of them is thermal comfort at an urban level, where uncomfortable environments are generated due to its misuse in busy spaces in the District, which is why This research aims to generate thermal comfort in the active public spaces of Buenaventura through Forestry, where a transversal analytical approach was used, which allowed the collection of the necessary data that helped demonstrate through the survey and work . field study carried out for a week with the thermal camera in both active public spaces of the District, the generation of heat islands present in these places, which leads to the sensation of thermal discomfort, given by the materiality with which they were built, also , in the cases of green areas and tree species; Due to this, a decrease in visitors can be seen at some times of the day. The research deduces that it is necessary to promote the use of urban forestry to generate green areas and tree species where required, these must be appropriate for the climatic conditions that the District presents, thus helping to reduce solar radiation and generating comfort.. thermal inside these places, this will guarantee that people who visit these public spaces feel pleasant at a climatic level, thus recovering the attendance of tourists and natives at different times of the day.
