Typological classifications were identified existing urban human settlements in Nicaragua, which was completed by proposing a new way of grouping according to the structuring of components, allowing the selection of settlements where you applied the instrumental. The following evaluation methodology developed consists of the theoretical tools, the histograms of environmental assessment and parent assessment of quality.

We evaluated the results, relating them to other area analysis, which enabled to demonstrate their effectiveness and efficiency. |
