Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of urban indicators on the sustainable development of atoll metropolis in Junín region, Peru, including the impact of its specific urban composition and territorial allocation, natural resource management, social cohesion and economic development on urban sustainable development. Three methods were used: the first was the evolution map indicator and census information system, the second was the method record of testing the integrated urban indicator system of urban planning from 1961 to 2011, and the third was the method of estimating the sustainable development level of the territory, the 2008 biography prepared by the Inter American Institute of agricultural cooperation. The following results were achieved: the bulk density of 115.87 inhab/ha in 1961 decreased steadily in 2011, reaching 93.67 inhab/ha. The comparative urban planning from 1961 to 2011 decreased from 14 indicators obtained to only one indicator applicable. It was noted that 13 indicators were not applicable due to method defects and monitoring was not allowed due to lack of reliability. Finally, the biography showed the trend of urban stability. The results show that the urban indicators are practical, which shows the degree of impact on the current and predictable situation of urban human settlements. Although this situation has achieved vegetation growth in an inert and spontaneous way, it has led to the improvement of sustainability in the medium term.
