The implementation of the "Special Ordinance for the Cadastral Update of Completed Buildings that Do Not Have a Final Inspection and/or Cadastral Registry and with a Land Use Different from that Recorded in the Cadastre System" represents a significant effort by municipal authorities to improve the accuracy and efficiency of real estate registration, which has a direct impact on tax collection, urban planning, and the provision of public services. However, it is crucial to evaluate whether this regulation has been effectively applied in all sectors of the city, considering the specific characteristics of each, from central areas to the most peripheral ones, which present different socioeconomic and urban dynamics. This is key to creating regulatory frameworks that are applicable and viable in diverse urban realities, considering social, economic, and cultural specificities. These studies can show which approaches and solutions are most successful in improving cadastral conditions, which is useful for policymakers at the local, regional, and national levels. Ordinance reforms provide empirical evidence and data that help design experience-based public policies. This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by cadastral updating processes (building regularization) in Guayaquil, assessing both their positive aspects and limitations, and subsequently proposing strategies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these land use planning mechanisms.
