ANDRADE, Galo Carrión; CARDENAS, José Urgilés; SANCHEZ, Macarena Montes y CARDENAS, Juan Urgilés. Visualizing the differences. Analysis of the street names of Cuenca City, Ecuador. Estoa [online]. 2023, vol.12, n.23, pp.71-89. ISSN 1390-9274. https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v012.n023.a04.
In Cuenca (Ecuador), the street naming practice continues to be a controversial issue as part of its development as a city and in the proposal of public policies. This work analyzes the nomenclatures of the city streets using information visualization as a critical tool.
Through an interdisciplinary methodology, which includes critical-historical analysis, gender perspective, and information visualization, this article shows the categorization process for the classification of streets in the urban area of Cuenca. The proposed graphics and interactive maps-six in total-allow a reading of the categories by their statistical content, geolocation, or length, among other parameters. In this sense, the role played by data visualization as a communication tool makes possible new narratives and ways of seeing the city.
