• Resumen

  • Well-designed and accessible green spaces offer residents places for recreation and relaxation, helping to reduce stress and encourage physical exercise. In this sense, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the functionality of green areas and urban design in the city of Juliaca. For this purpose, a quantitative, non-experimental and correlational approach was used. The sample consisted of 223 inhabitants and neighbors of the main parks and squares of the unit of analysis, to whom a questionnaire was administered, with a reliability index of 0.889. The results showed a coefficient Rho=0.670 and a p value of 0.000, indicating a moderately strong positive correlation. This suggests that as one variable increases, the other also tends to increase in an orderly fashion, although not necessarily at a constant or linear rate. It is concluded that a well-integrated architecture with the design of green areas not only improves the aesthetics and functionality of these spaces, but also contributes to the quality of life of its citizens.
