Mining operations significantly reshape the socio-spatial dynamics in Andean territories, influencing both human communities and local ecosystems. This study examines large-scale mining projects in Espinar (central Andes in southeastern Peru), focusing on spatial (infrastructural, rural-urban morphology, and natural resources) and social (land permutation and involuntary resettlement) aspects. Data were collected through documents and maps from regional governmental institutions, complemented by interviews with local stakeholders. The findings reveal significant alterations in water resource management, affecting agricultural production and reshaping the Andean landscape in Espinar. Additionally, the displacement of rural communities has led to urban expansion, modifications in settlement patterns, and shifts in traditional architectural typology. This study underscores the urgent need for a territorial governance framework that incorporates social and environmental safeguards to balance resource extraction with sustainable development. A deeper understanding of these socio-spatial transformations can inform policy strategies aimed at mitigating mining-induced disruptions in Andean communities.

Abstract Scientific production is fundamental in architecture schools for developing professionals with research capabilities involved in generating knowledge for society. The objective of this research was to analyze the scientific production of Peruvian architecture schools in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases until 2020. A bibliometric study was conducted considering the 37 schools of architecture recognized by SUNEDU. As a result, 131 documents were found (79 in Scopus, 30 in WoS, and 22 in both databases). The first publication was in 2005, and in the last two years (2019–2020), more than half (78) of the historical total of documents have been produced. A total of 190 authors were registered; 120 are of Peruvian affiliation, and 70 have an international affiliation. Articles were the most published type of document (56.4% in Scopus and 86.5% in WoS) and were published in more than 49 international journals. About half of the total publications were in English. This research shows that only 18 architecture schools have published at least one paper in Scopus or WoS. It is concluded that scientific production in Peruvian architecture schools is low, recent, and heterogeneous according to the university’s type of administration (public or private) and location. It is necessary to implement strategies to promote scientific production from the undergraduate level and consider the research lines of the architecture schools in Peru.

Abstract In Lima (the capital of Peru), archaeological sites are constantly being threatened by accelerated urban expansion. This study examines Independencia (a district in northern Lima), where 95% of archaeological areas have been encroached upon due to inadequate planning and conservation policies. Focusing on four key archaeological sites (Cerro La Cruz, Cerro San Jerónimo, Pampa de Cueva, and San Jerónimo), this study employed a comprehensive pathological analysis to assess the extent and causes of deterioration. Data were gathered through field observation sheets based on the Ministry of Culture’s Conservation Guide, alongside historical photographs, aerial imagery, and urban mapping. The results indicate that human agents (27.1%) are the primary drivers of damage, supplemented by fortuitous (4.07%) and biological (2.89%) agents. The pronounced deterioration, particularly from human agents, underscores the urgent need for a holistic conservation strategy that integrates community participation with technical heritage management, ensuring that Lima’s pre-Hispanic legacy is preserved amidst ongoing urban pressure.

Solid Waste Management (SWM) through planning and technical coordination is essential for the sustainable development of cities in terms of social, physical, territorial, and legal-political aspects. During the last 20 years, Chiclayo has been the most polluted city in northern Peru owing to its poor municipal solid waste (MSW) management. This study aims to determine the level of urban impact generated by SWM on the configuration of public spaces in the districts of José Leonardo Ortiz, La Victoria, and Chiclayo (homonymous district). Management actors were identified with a territorial diagnosis for methodological analysis to obtain efficiency indices. The scope of management in the last ten years was determined using the Fisher-Davies method and Leopold diagrams, and the results obtained were compared with the population's perception. The discussion of the results determined that SWM has a negative level of urban environmental impact on the configuration of public spaces. These have a very negative impact on the biotic and abiotic factors of the urban landscape as well as on sociocultural factors. This study provides evidence of the implications of city governance on territorial sustainability. This will allow for the development of thematic frameworks that address urban, environmental, socioeconomic, and technological policies in response to new territorial dynamics.

The city of Iquitos (Peruvian Amazon) is composed of flood-prone urban communities that relate collective and economic activities to the river dynamics. The research objective is to describe architecture types of the Belen neighborhood (one of the most commercially and touristically important areas of Iquitos) during the Amazonian fluvial dynamics in the flood and ebb cycle of the Itaya River. Data were collected through observations, interviews, photographs, and hand-drawings. The riverside neighborhoods of Belen show architectural qualities that are adaptable to river dynamics through three types of systems: fixed, pile, and floating. In addition, these neighborhoods are located along the course of six natural streams or ‘caños’ that redirect rainwater and wastewater into the Itaya River. The research shows that the urban configuration of the upper, middle, and lower zones undergoes adaptation processes in their commercial, cultural, and constructive dimensions due to the influence of the Itaya River. This social-spatial configuration is supported by the positive attitude of the residents of the Belen neighborhood toward the Amazonian river dynamics.

THE TAMBOS OF THE PERUVIAN RURAL TERRITORY: A SYSTEMATIC CATALOG PROPOSAL AS DESIGN STRATEGY
(2021-05-26)
The tambos are small buildings that function as social platforms in Peruvian rural areas to provide essential services to the entire vulnerable and dispersed rural population. The Peruvian government intends to implement more than a thousand new tambos in the national territory. However, this social infrastructure program faces heterogeneous conditions and demands according to Peru’s geographical and population complexity. This article proposes developing a systematic catalog of modular components as a design strategy for the architectural approach of future tambos. Georeferenced data and climate design guidelines were used to conduct this study. As a result, the systematic catalog synthesizes critical variables such as natural regions and programmatic requirements to generate diverse architectural configurations of the new tambos. Therefore, these future buildings would be optimally articulated in different areas of influence under a systematic vision of the Peruvian rural territory.

Abstract Jaén is one of the most important cities in the northern highlands of Peru due to its strategic location, commerce, and agricultural activities. Jaén has more than 185 thousand inhabitants, of which 48% live in rural areas, representing approximately 31 thousand rural housing. This research aims to determine the types of rural housing in Jaén, showing the possible variations and architectural manifestations due to the territorial and cultural characteristics. A field observation sheet has been used to study the rural dwellings of populated centres previously classified by altitudinal regions. The results show six architectural types of rural housing classified into two groups: “rural-residential housing” and “rural-agricultural housing”. These architectural types are generally located near water sources, within agricultural plots, and on hillsides. The architectural program is characterised by agricultural activity and family composition, which has grown over time. The most commonly used construction systems are “pirca” and “quincha”, using natural materials such as “ichu” and adobe. There is also evidence of cultural traditions rooted in the construction, such as “cambio de fuerzas”, “paracaico”, and “minga”. Therefore, the relevance of Jaén’s rural housing is its geographical reading of the territory through the architectural and cultural legacy of these buildings.

Cartographies of heritage routes: networks and territorial reconfigurations of the Qhapaq Ñan – Andean road system
(2026-02-14)
;
Joan Curós
Purpose This study provides a territorial characterization of the Qhapaq Ñan through a multiscale cartographic analysis of its historical and contemporary routes, comparing the Inca road system with the present-day heritage network recognized within Peruvian territory. The Qhapaq Ñan was the largest infrastructure in pre-Columbian America, consolidated by the Incas in the 15th century to integrate an extensive territory in South America. Its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 reflects the continued use of many of its segments by rural Andean communities. Design/methodology/approach A territorial and multiscalar approach is employed to examine the Qhapaq Ñan as a system that continues to shape socio-spatial dynamics in the Andean region. This study draws on open-access georeferenced data from SIGDA (Geographic Information System of Archaeology), complemented by historical scholarship and official technical documentation produced by the Peruvian state. Findings The contemporary Qhapaq Ñan is a physically discontinuous road network. The preserved stretches form a fragmented whole due to historical processes of destruction of the original layout. The system no longer retains its capillary territorial model, which once articulated settlements with a distant imperial center. Nonetheless, despite the loss of macro-regional continuity, the Qhapaq Ñan remains tangible, albeit sectorized, manifesting through localized stretches and nodes that preserve functional and symbolic relevance. Originality/value While most academic studies conceptualize the Qhapaq Ñan primarily as an archaeological asset, this article addresses a gap by approaching it as a system of routes, emphasizing its spatial inscription and contemporary relevance within the Andean landscape.

Abstract The Alto Mayo Protected Forest (“Bosque de Protección Alto Mayo”, or BPAM for its Spanish acronym) is one of the largest natural protected areas (NPA) in Peru. The BPAM has several tourist attractions owing to its great biodiversity of ecosystems and species. However, the BPAM does not have an optimal offer of tourism services because of the lack of infrastructure articulated to the multiscalarity of its territory. The objective of this research is to propose integral strategies for permitted tourism uses of the BPAM, considering its plans and planning instruments oriented to the conservation of the ecosystem through sustainable projects. To diagnose the site and collect data, participatory workshops were held with local inhabitants and authorities involved in the administration of the BPAM. As a result, the BPAM was structured into five tourist zones to propose intervention strategies at three scales: territory, community, and architecture. At the territorial scale, a network of infrastructure and tourist circuits has been proposed. At the community scale, the suitability of each tourist zone was evaluated to propose activities classified as ecotourism, adventure, or rural. At the architectural scale, sustainable tourism equipment was configured through schematic strategies that considered the architectural object, connectors, and site. Finally, this study is synthesized as an example of an intervention instrument to promote sustainable tourism in NPAs with similar characteristics in the Peruvian Amazon.

Agricultural landscapes and rural spatial configurations in the Peruvian Central Rainforest
(2021-10-22)
Emily Yarin
;
The Peruvian Central Rainforest is a territory delimited by socio-cultural affinity and economic dynamics. The diversity of ecological zones in this territory has allowed agriculture to be the main activity of its rural population. This research seeks to analyse the factors that influence the spatial configuration of agricultural landscapes in the Peruvian Central Rainforest. The Río Negro district was selected as a case study to analyse three factors groups: settlements, ecosystems, and housing. Mapping, photo-interpretation, and field data collection were used to carry out the study. As a result, three types of agricultural landscapes have been identified, which include four modes of settlement organisation, three types of agricultural ecosystems, and eight types of agricultural housing. The discussion shows different heterogeneity levels in each type of agricultural landscape determined by the various configurations of its elements that should be considered for future territorial planning and studies in the Peruvian Central Rainforest.
