Case study of Flores, Costa Rica Indicadores de percepción de calidad del entorno residencial: una herramienta para la planificación urbana. Caso de estudio del cantón de Flores, Costa Rica von Breymann, Helga The use of tools designed to measure the perceived quality of a residential environment within urban planning and management processes has been little explored despite its value as a strategy to improve urban quality of life. There is a need to promote the implementation of these instruments and contextualize them with the features of the environment to further enhance the influence on urban environments within a changing and diverse world where planning demands the emergence of new intervention mechanisms. This research seeks to contribute to this end. The use of a self-reporting tool to measure the perceived quality of the environment allowed the collection of data from a residential area in Flores, Costa Rica. The analysis of this information greatly contributed to understand the relationship between the characteristics of geographical environments and their perceived quality. The findings of this research made it possible to identify the relationship between urban and residential satisfaction and urban characteristics, allowing us to elaborate arguments for the future promotion of urban intervention strategies. La aplicación de herramientas para medir la percepción de la calidad del entorno residencial en los procesos de planificación y gestión urbana es una alternativa poco explorada, a pesar de su valor como estrategia de mejora de la calidad de vida urbana. Fomentar la utilización de estos instrumentos y su contextualización con las características del entorno es necesario para mejorar las formas de incidir en los ambientes urbanos de un mundo cambiante y diverso, donde el planeamiento urge de nuevos mecanismos de intervención. La aplicación de un instrumento de auto-reporte sobre la percepción de la calidad del entorno permitió la recolección de datos sobre un área residencial en el cantón de Flores, Costa Rica, y el posterior análisis de esta información resultó un valioso aporte para la comprensión de la relación entre las características del contexto geográfico con la percepción de la calidad del entorno reportada por los encuestados. Las conclusiones obtenidas del análisis permitieron identificar relaciones entre la satisfacción con la calidad del ámbito urbano y las tipologías residenciales y características físicas del contexto, permitiéndonos acuñar argumentos para la futura promoción de estrategias de intervención urbana.
