Specifically, this study seeks to identify the methodology for visually evaluating the urban landscape of the rural parish of Alluriquín along the Alóag-Santo Domingo arterial route at km 22, established in the protection strips of the road and rivers, which are categorized as vulnerable zones. It takes into account their aesthetic and cultural characteristics in the organization of the territory, using two approaches: theoretical and methodological, both qualitative and quantitative. This research is carried out through visualization, mapping, and data collection of the built landscape, reflecting its growth through road development activities, economic activities, and other territorial characteristics that have led to serious living conditions for humans, affecting the quality of the urban landscape.enEvaluationUrban LandscapeVulnerable ZonesHuman Settlement.Valoración de Paisaje urbano de Asentamientos Humanos establecidos en las franjas de protección de vía y ríos.
