Abstract
Este proyecto de tesis propone el diseño de un centro de rehabilitación con un enfoque en “vejez activa”, dirigido a los adultos mayores con discapacidad física en el sector “Pilanqui” de Ibarra. El objetivo principal es diseñar un espacio que promueva la inclusión y el bienestar integral de este grupo poblacional, mediante la implementación de estrategias de ubicación óptima, equipamiento adecuado y normas de accesibilidad universal. El diseño del centro se fundamenta en la metodología de 'Calles para toda la vida', que aboga por la creación de entornos urbanos accesibles y seguros para todas las edades y capacidades. A partir de la cual se analizó el contexto local para asegurar que los adultos mayores puedan acceder fácilmente a los servicios y actividades ofrecidos. Se presta especial atención a la disposición del equipamiento, garantizando que todos los espacios sean funcionales y cómodos, con áreas específicas para la rehabilitación física, actividades recreativas y sociales, y servicios médicos. Además, se incorporan normas de accesibilidad universal, que incluyen rampas, señalización adecuada, y mobiliario ergonómico, con el fin de eliminar barreras arquitectónicas y facilitar el desplazamiento seguro y autónomo de los usuarios. La creación de un área adecuada para los adultos mayores se considera esencial para fomentar su participación activa en la comunidad y mejorar su calidad de vida. El diseño del centro no solo busca atender las necesidades físicas de los adultos mayores, sino también ofrecer un entorno que favorezca su integración social, emocional y mental.
