Elaboración de un plan de movilidad para el cantón Saquisilí, provincia de Cotopaxi. Período 2023-2028

Abstract

The aim of this research project, entitled "Development of a mobility plan for the canton of Saquisili, Cotopaxi province, period 2023-2028", was to analyze the current situation regarding transport, traffic, and road safety in the canton to identify the existing mobility problems and propose a mobility plan that includes the necessary guidelines. For the development of the research, the inductive-deductive research method was applied through field research and research instruments such as surveys in the four parishes of the Saquisili canton, which helped us to collect information on the origin and destination of trips; also, through the interview with the people in charge of the area of mobility who fulfill the function of Municipal Servant and Analyst of Risk Management and Citizen Security of the Intercultural Municipal Government of the Canton, the existing mobility problems were determined, such as the absence of a mobility plan, since there is no department with professionals in the area to provide and fulfill the needs of the citizens. Based on the analysis carried out, transport, traffic, and road safety strategies are proposed, which are focused on contributing to better mobility and optimum protection for drivers and pedestrians in the canton from their point of origin to their travel destination. It is therefore recommended that the strategies established in the different mobility axes be carried out promptly, given that the canton has several deficiencies in this area.
