Improving Urban Quality Through Ecological Parameters
摘要
Ecological parameters are the measurable variables that are determinants of an ecosystem. In recent years, negative impacts of urban activities show increasing signs of environmental problems in an ecosystem that degrade the urban life quality. To understand and overcome this critical situation in urban areas, it is necessary to study the interaction between living organisms and the urban environment. Therefore, for the establishment of a sustainable built environment for improving life quality ecological planning is an effective requirement in urban areas. This chapter defines the conceptual framework for developing balanced urban ecosystems through scientific methods and ecological approaches for planning by bibliometric analysis. The methods involved the development of a conceptual framework that creates a logical relationship between citizens, municipalities, and understand the relationship between the physical aspects and humans through the management of natural resources to improve urban life quality. The main outcome of the research is to develop a methodological framework and model for the assessment of the relationship between urban resources, urban life, and ecological parameters. The understanding of these parameters will improve the effectiveness of spatial planning practices that contribute to improve the urban life, through which effective urban planning can be accomplished.
