Desarrollo de una aplicación web para la visualización y análisis del fenómeno de gentrificación en el Centro Histórico Quito como soporte a la toma de decisiones en el municipio del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito (MDMQ) entre el período de 1990 al 2010

Abstract

The term gentrification refers to the process in which the population of a sector is displaced by another with a higher economic status, given the high cost of living generated in the context of urban regeneration.

In Ecuador, this phenomenon can be seen in the Historical Centre of the Quito Metropolitan District and the MDMQ does not have a public study of the variables that determine the phenomenon. To provide a solution to this problem, the present project has been developed. It consists of developing a web application for the visualization and analysis of the gentrification phenomenon in Quito's Historical Center as a support for decision-making in the MDMQ from 1990 to 2010.

The web application was developed under the XP Methodology, since it was an incremental and iterative development. This application allows the visualization of statistical data presented to the user through graphics within the web application or as reports and provides a technical report of recommendations as support for decision making in MDMQ. Finally, tests were conducted with users to determine the acceptance of the system.
