Sustainable Habitat Management in the Ecuadorian Coastal Region From Local Development

Objective: The purpose of the research is to demonstrate the use of sustainable habitat management systems with alternative and traditional materials in Latin America that serve as references for their use in Ecuador, from local development. Theoretical Framework: Based on sustainable habitat management systems, this study focuses on the use of sustainable building materials as a response to habitat problems is one of the urgent alternatives for Ecuador. Method: The methodology adopted for this research was based on the importance of sustainable habitat management in the Ecuadorian coastal region from local development. This is done through the review of existing related information from secondary sources of bibliographic and informative nature to later proceed to issue general conclusions. Results and Discussion: The management of sustainable habitat is an alternative for the local development of autonomous governments by allowing to build decent, durable and comfortable homes, use own resources and not require highly specialized labor and be in correspondence with the traditions of the country. Implications of the research: This study shows that the country has a high production of rice, whose residues are not used efficiently, causing environmental pollution. Originality/Value: Also as a result, two houses built, in 1992 and 2020 respectively, that have validated the feasibility of the proposal. A flexible system is achieved, low energy consumption, resistant, with characteristics that favor the acoustic and thermal insulation and good aesthetic finish.
