Abstract

The administration of urban parks is one of the main topics in the development of cities to improve the quality of life of citizens. The study constructs an interactive network of parks for their efficient administration and to provide an urban social platform that improves urban dynamics through the cultural activation of public parks, giving parks a pedagogical role that allows the citizen a quick and safe vision of the socio-cultural activities that take place, as an alternative to the problem of appropriation in the public spaces of the city.

Floresta as an urban digital platform, interconnects a network of urban parks in Arequipa, as an open window to urban life, users can access the network and get information from their mobile phone about what is happening in the parks, allows to reserve specific areas, register and get information about socio-cultural activities, providing socio-educational access, to strengthen the appropriation and use of socio-cultural urban services offered by the parks, facilitating the digital governance of public space and contributes to urban sustainability, providing an alternative of efficient management, increasing by 65% the current use.

In this way, Floresta strengthens the appropriation and use of the socio-cultural urban services offered by each public park; it also facilitates the digital governance of public space and contributes to urban sustainability, providing an alternative for the efficient management of public space.
