Gentrification in medium-sized ecuadorian cities in the current context of territorial planning: literature review

This article reviews the literature on the study of the gentrification phenomenon with emphasis on the mutation that it has experienced from the 1960s to the present, differentiating its various consequences that depend not only on the country analyzed but also on the scales of the city from which the problem develops. Through this analysis, a prior theoretical framework is developed that is capable of supporting the effects of this phenomenon in intermediate cities of Ecuador in a context of territorial planning.New Yor

GIS for decision-making on the gentrification phenomenon in strategic territorial planning

Gentrification is a worldwide phenomenon that generates population displacement due to various economic and social factors that change the way of life of residents in a geographical space. It also has a greater incidence in urban areas that have a Historic Center, as is the case for many Latin American countries that preserve these spaces as part of their cultural heritage. Quito stands out as an important case study of the gentrification phenomenon in its Historic Center. The increase in tourism and economic activity in the sector has generated the right environment for its development, elevating the cost of living by increasing the capital gain, thus promoting population displacement. Currently, information on the gentrification phenomenon in Quito is scarce and it is not feasible to examine the phenomenon and how it has been developing over the decades. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to create a web system that employs geographic tools to analyze and visualize gentrification. The use of GIS in particular provides a better representation of the model used for the study and a different visualization of the data, making the user experience much more interactive. Based on this premise, the web system was created in such a way that it will allow the local government to better identify, visualize, and analyze the phenomenon. This will motivate the local government to generate public policies to reduce gentrification in the study area.Guayaqui

GIS and user experience in decision support for retail type organizations

In recent years, spatial data analysis has become a transcendental strategy for companies, because these organizations can be more competitive in the market. For this, companies need to be linked in the field of Business Intelligence and be able to create a beneficial environment to obtain a better exploitation and visualization of their information. With the proper management of the information they can generate an appropriate knowledge so that the activities related to the company improve and generate an economic benefit. In the case of companies of the retail type, the analysis of spatial data allows them to discover valuable information, on occasions this information is only detectable by observing and analyzing through maps. Today, there are a lot of tools to perform this type of analysis. However, many tools are focused on technical level users and not employees. This research paper presents an analysis of the Handytec Company and how it manages its information and how a web solution improves the visualization and analysis of spatial data and helps in making decisions for its employees. The application allows the end user to visualize spatial information through maps and graphs, execute analysis tasks without having technical knowledge with the objective of supporting decision making. © 2019 IEEE.In recent years, spatial data analysis has become a transcendental strategy for companies, because these organizations can be more competitive in the market.
