Abstract

The conservation and preservation of sustainable environmental spaces, fosters the integral development of the population, therefore, in this investigation the current situation analysis of Los Yarumos eco-park in Manizales, Colombia, is addressed, taking in account the current challenges, from the interior of the eco-park, aerial tramway, as well as from the territorial accessibility perspective; through the usage of computing tools (ArcMap, Microsoft Excel), facilitating mechanisms for the recovering and repowering of the ecological center. The applied methodology considers the restructuration of the city’s traffic network, along with the location and construction of the accessibility turns to the eco-park, complemented with socioeconomic variables for the coverage evaluation.
