Nature-based solutions for climate resilience in public spaces of Archidona, ecuadorian Amazon
Synopsis
Intermediate Amazonian cities face increasing challenges associated with climate change, particularly those related to heat islands, urban runoff, and loss of vegetation cover. The objective of this study was to identify priority issues in public spaces in Archidona, ecuadorian Amazon, and to evaluate Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) applicable to the local urban context. The methodology combined regulatory and bibliographic review, analysis of official climate records from INAMHI (1998–2023), as well as spatial analysis and field observations in five selected public spaces based on criteria of urban representativeness and vegetation cover. The results revealed insufficient green infrastructure, predominance of impermeable surfaces, and limitations in thermal comfort and urban drainage. Among the identified Nature-Based Solutions were permeable pavements, bioclimatic corridors, urban tree planting, and sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), considered technically and territorially feasible for the Amazonian context. It is concluded that Nature-Based Solutions constitute replicable strategies to strengthen climate resilience and improve urban habitability in intermediate Amazonian cities, contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 13.
