Abstract
El cantón de Cayambe se encuentra en la Cordillera de los Andes, al noreste de la provincia de Pichincha, a 52 km de Quito, la capital de Ecuador. Situado en las laderas del nevado Cayambe, es un destino natural único y encantador, reconocido internacionalmente por su manto de nieve que se funde con el cielo, atrayendo a miles de turistas que buscan una experiencia única a 4,740 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Además, Cayambe alberga el 41% de los páramos y es parte del Parque Nacional Cayambe-Coca, que forma parte del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas y presenta una excelente oportunidad para el turismo. En los últimos años, el cantón ha experimentado un notable crecimiento, lo que ha generado problemas de movilidad en el transporte urbano y en la frecuencia de viajes dentro y fuera del cantón. Por esta razón, es crucial diseñar una terminal de transporte terrestre interprovincial en la ciudad que responda a las necesidades actuales y futuras del cantón. Un análisis del cantón Cayambe, basado en encuestas, opiniones de transeúntes y estudios urbanos, ha demostrado que la terminal terrestre municipal actual no cumple con las condiciones necesarias debido a limitaciones de espacio y a un diseño que ha sido modificado gradualmente desde su creación. Por ello, Cayambe necesita una nueva infraestructura que proporcione los espacios adecuados para un mejor desarrollo de sus actividades. El GAD Municipal, en su plan de desarrollo y ordenamiento territorial, ha proyectado la construcción de una nueva terminal terrestre, aunque aún no cuenta con el proyecto arquitectónico-urbano. Este proyecto abarcará un área de 45,780 m² y se ubicará en un terreno de 68,310 m². Se propone diseñar una terminal terrestre moderna, funcional, limpia, eficiente y ordenada, priorizando la comodidad del usuario y cumpliendo con todas las normas municipales de arquitectura y urbanismo. El proyecto se desarrollará en dos plantas, con áreas públicas, semipúblicas y privadas, distribuidas en tres zonas: administrativa, de intercambio y distribución, y de servicios complementarios. La construcción empleará un sistema mixto de estructura metálica y hormigón. La terminal terrestre atenderá a 105,781 habitantes y contará con andenes de embarque y desembarque, oficinas administrativas, locales comerciales y áreas de descanso para conductores.
The canton of Cayambe is located in the Andes Mountains, northeast of the province of Pichincha, 52 km from Quito, the capital of Ecuador. Located on the slopes of the snowy Cayambe, it is a unique and charming natural destination, internationally recognized for its blanket of snow that blends with the sky, attracting thousands of tourists looking for a unique experience at 4,740 meters above sea level. Additionally, Cayambe is home to 41% of the paramos and is part of the Cayambe-Coca National Park, which is part of the National System of Protected Areas and presents an excellent opportunity for tourism. In recent years, the canton has experienced notable growth, which has generated mobility prblems in urban transport and the frequency of trips within and outside the canton. For this reason, it is crucial to design an interprovincial land transportation terminal in the city that responds to the current and future needs of the canton. An analysis of the Cayambe canton, based on surveys, opinions of passers-by and urban studies, has shown that the current municipal land terminal does not meet the necessary conditions due to space limitations and a design that has been gradually modified since its creation. For this reason, Cayambe needs a new infrastructure that provides adequate spaces for the better development of its activities. The Municipal GAD, in its development and territorial planning plan, has planned the construction of a new land terminal, although it still does not have the architectural-urban project. This project will cover an area of 45,780 m² and will be located on a land of 68,310 m². It is proposed to design a modern, functional, clean, efficient and orderly land terminal, prioritizing user comfort and complying with all municipal architecture and urban planning standards. The project will be developed on two floors, with public, semi-public and private areas, distributed in three zones: administrative, exchange and distribution, and complementary services. The construction will use a mixed system of metal structure and concrete. The land terminal will serve 105,781 inhabitants and will have boarding and disembarkation platforms, administrative offices, commercial premises and rest areas for drivers.
