Abstract

The territory is the reflection of a culture, of the public policies and of the actions of the society that affects it. This research focuses on finding an answer to a problem in the north of the Carretera Antigua (section three) Floridablanca-Bucaramanga, which affects the perception of the territory of the inhabitants and users of this area, based on timely strategies and directed actions To the improvement of public space, specifically related to mobility in "slow modes" (cyclist / pedestrian). In methodological scope, this work refers to the deductive method that acts as an articulator for the development of the methodology, structured in three phases. Thus, the first phase focuses on a reading of the territory where different physical components of the stretch between the eastern and western sides of the Carretera Antigua were identified. Subsequently, in the second phase, an analysis and a diagnosis are made that lead to identify the possible causes that affect mobility, accessibility and pedestrian connectivity in order to obtain the elements of judgment that will allow delimiting a specific area of study to assess their potential. The third phase aims at the elaboration of a proposal that leads to the optimization of the transit of "slow modes" of the Carretera Antigua through a general guidelines, applicable to the section three and all the way, product of the reflection on the territory studied and backed by the national regulations in force in charge of regulating actions of this kind. Therefore, it is expected that these guidelines can be a useful tool in territorial planning policies aimed at consolidating a high quality space with direct accessibility of the vulnerable population, positive environmental and social impact, potentially suitable to transform the current conditions of the users of section three of the Carretera Antigua, allowing them to exercise their natural right to enjoy the public space of the city.
