Urban Development as a Public Green Area: The Case of Malecon Tajamar

  Urban Development as a Public Green Area: The Case of Malecon Tajamar 1. Problem Statement Malecón Tajamar in Cancún has been the subject of significant controversy due to past urban development initiatives that led to the removal of mangrove ecosystems and disruption of local biodiversity. Originally intended for commercial and residential expansion, the project generated social and environmental concerns regarding habitat loss and long-term ecological sustainability. In current times, the site offers an opportunity to reconsider urban development priorities by integrating ecological restoration and public green space planning. 2. Justification Reconceptualizing Malecón Tajamar as a public green area is particularly relevant within the framework of sustainable urban development. Green spaces contribute to environmental protection, improve air quality, support biodiversity, and enhance overall quality of life. In rapidly growing tourist cities such as Cancún, the development of a...

Universe, Population, and Sample with Theoretical and Numerical Support

  Universe, Population, and Sample with Theoretical and Numerical Support For the research project “Urban Development as a Public Green Area: The Case of Malecón Tajamar ,” it is essential to define the universe, population, and sample using both conceptual foundations and empirically supported numerical data. The universe of the study refers to the total set of elements related to urban development and public green areas in coastal tourist cities. This includes residents, authorities, environmental organizations, and ecosystems across multiple cities facing similar environmental and urbanization challenges. According to Roberto Hernández Sampieri , the universe (or target population in a broad sense) comprises all cases that meet a set of specifications relevant to the research problem. Due to its broad scope and the difficulty of quantifying all elements, the universe is considered large or practically infinite. In methodological terms, this justifies estimating it at more t...
