Diferencias ambientales en el paisaje urbano de la ciudad de querétaro, México: Caso de estudio juriquilla y Santa Rosa jáuregui

Abstract

The urban-environmental dynamics and evolution of the city of Queretaro reconfigures landscapes and builds new mental images on urban habitability. The present study analyzes the environmental differences in the urban landscape of Juriquilla and Santa Rosa Jauregui, north of the city of Queretaro, Mexico. A methodology was applied based on an urban landscape environmental quality index. The result was the visual assessment of seventeen urban-environmental variables grouped in water, soil and air. The groups of soil and water direct the environmental detriment of the landscape, mainly garbage and waste of water. It contributes with the identification of priority zones for environmental monitoring, as well as knowledge and information to generate environmental planning strategies in fast-growing urban spaces.
