A bibliometric review of tactical urban planning strategies as a sustainable planning tool in Ecuador

2026-01-06T08:56:06-05:00

Tactical urbanism, understood as a set of temporary, low-cost, and highly participatory urban interventions, is presented as a promising strategy to transform degraded public spaces and promote local development. This study carries out a systematic and bibliometric review focused exclusively on the Ecuadorian context, with special emphasis on the Mapasingue sector of Guayaquil, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods with the greatest socio-spatial challenges in the city. The research uses the PRISMA 2020 protocol to analyze indexed literature (2015–2025) in Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO, identifying trends, research gaps, and potential applications of tactical urbanism in this context. The results reveal an almost total absence of systematic empirical studies in Ecuador, which limits the capacity to generate evidence-based urban policies. It is concluded that tactical urbanism, if integrated into inclusive and participatory governance frameworks, can be a key driver for improving the quality of life in Mapasingue and other vulnerable sectors of Guayaquil.

Bioclimatic architecture and its influence on neuroarchitecture. Case study: FAU-UG, Guayaquil, Ecuador

2026-01-06T09:33:34-05:00

Bioclimatic architecture focuses on the design of buildings that take advantage of the natural conditions of the environment to improve thermal, lighting, and acoustic comfort, which has a direct impact on people's well-being and cognitive comfort. However, the focus of this study is characterized by the function of bioclimatic criteria as indicators that contribute to the cognitive comfort of people with ASD and psychosensory disorders within the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism. It should be noted that at the University of Guayaquil, 12.45% of students suffer from psychological disorders due to stress and mental exhaustion, which is why the study is justified in seeking to create spaces that promote relaxation and overall comfort. According to a sample provided by the Student Welfare Department, more than 68% of students at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAU) experience stress, as determined by a student census, which also revealed that 5.63% have ASD and psychosensory disorders, which are attributed to their disability. This scientific document will address techniques for establishing comfortable spaces within the faculty's classroom modules and provide criteria based on cognitive analysis and decision-making. It concludes that the study of individuals' own faculties contributed to deriving criteria for sizing and active contact with natural spaces, which led to a 65% decrease in psychosensory disorders and a 50% increase in concentration within the classroom.

La imagen urbana como instrumento para la lectura arquitectónica contemporánea del Barrio Urdesa de Guayaquil

2026-01-12T13:15:28-05:00

The urban image is characterized by being the distinctive symbol of a city that seeks to generate an identity and autonomy in its reading process to denote traditions and customs from the perspective of the architectural compositional elements that make up traditional buildings and their evolution towards a contemporary stage that enhances the typological conditions of both homes and businesses in the Urdesa neighborhood of Guayaquil, Ecuador. This study seeks to describe the urban image of this traditional neighborhood of Guayaquil based on a historical analysis using architectural housing evaluation techniques to show the changes in the urban image of housing defined in the formal buildable aspect, relationship with public space and design influence with natural spaces to determine how these indicators have complemented the structure of the urban image, emulating a timeline analysis of the original development to the transformationism of 21st century Urdesa, to be exposed in a photographic memory of architecture denoting the traditional aspects still preserved. This booming contemporary architecture still preserves the urban image of Urdesa. The results were strategies that contribute to revitalizing Urdesa's indigenous image as a traditional neighborhood in Guayaquil, which has a deep-rooted natural, constructivist, and functional connection with the coastal area.

Design and construction of a fault emulator for the electronic control of an internal combustion engine using a wireless interface

2026-01-16T17:14:37-05:00

Electronic fuel injection systems have replaced carburetors due to their precise control of the air-fuel mixture, optimizing combustion and reducing emissions. These systems, which include sensors, actuators and the ECU, are essential to engine performance. The complexity of these systems requires advanced diagnostic tools and specialized training for automotive technicians. Emulators are crucial for training, allowing practice in safe environments. Injection systems use sensors to measure airflow, pressure, temperature and crankshaft position, sending signals to the ECU to adjust injection and ignition. Some key sensors are the MAF, MAP, IAT, CKP, KS and the oxygen sensor. The ECU analyzes these signals to adjust the amount of fuel needed, improving efficiency and reducing consumption and emissions. Therefore, this document details the design and construction of a fault emulator for the electronic injection system for an internal combustion engine, through the application of electronic components, PCB design in Protel 99 SE and use of Iocomp commands which will allow the identification of faults, engine behavior and training for automotive technicians. Fault emulation allowed the identification of faults and erroneous behavior of the internal combustion engine.
