Abstract

Urban rehabilitation and sustainable architecture are essential components for the development of cities that are not only functional and economically viable, but also equitable, safe and environmentally responsible. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship of urban rehabilitation and sustainable architecture in the city of Juliaca, 2024. The methodology was quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational. The instrument was a questionnaire, whose reliability index was 0.838, which was applied to a sample of 193 neighbors of the roads, parks and squares that are being rehabilitated in the unit of analysis. The results were a Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.727 and a value of p=0.000 which indicates a strong positive correlation between the variables studied, suggesting that as urban rehabilitation improves in Juliaca, so does sustainable architecture, and vice versa. It is concluded that implementing policies and projects that consider the variables together could lead to a more sustainable, resilient and equitable future for Juliaca, improving the quality of life of its inhabitants and preserving its urban environment for future generations.
