Abstract:

This thesis addresses the urban ravines situation in Puebla City to propose guidelines for its restoration and conservation. The theoretical phase is composed of an extensive review of the legislation in Puebla City and the legislation and management programs of the Mexican States of Mexico City, Morelos, and Jalisco. Also, a literature review covered the conditions in Puebla City, the previous studies and articles that directly and indirectly addressed the issues in the urban ravines, and the Toronto Ravine Strategy. Additionally, a set of maps is created from existing spatial data to characterize the ravine system in Puebla Municipality. All the information mentioned was organized and processed to achieve two objectives. First, create a shapefile layer representing the urban ravines in Puebla City using available spatial data with ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 and supported by Google Earth Web.
