Proposal of infrastructure in Baluartes Circuit Avenue, between the San Juan Baluarte and the Santa Rosa Baluarte as a promoter of tourism development and social welfare in Campeche, Mexico

Abstract

The Regulating Plan of Campeche in 1952, constituted one of the first formal projects of rules and regulations for the city, whose principals were based on sustainability and modern urbanism. Through the same, three fundamental points were developed: a) zoning of the areas according to their use, b) regeneration of housing areas and c) structuring of a road communication system. Over time, the historic center of the city and in particular the Circuito Baluartes avenue, have presented a series of constant changes in its road infrastructure due to the increased vehicular and demographic flow of the population that affects the tourist influx in the city that It has the denomination of Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity granted by the UNESCO. Based on the above,the reorganization of the circulation is proposed, through the relocation of pedestrian crossings, the diagnosis of signage and pavement, as well as the construction of a public parking lot that helps to decongest local traffic and allows tourism to access greater ease to the bulwark. To formulate the diagnosis and the subsequent proposal of parking in the road environment, a methodology was developed that considered a detailed inspection of the area under study in a visual manner, accompanied by photographs of existing problems to support the approach, obtaining a more analytical description. In this way, different proposals of the area under study were obtained and analyzed, which allowed choosing the most viable option that would be adapted to the current needs of the area without affecting the existing landscape architecture and adhering to the norms and laws in force
