In this paper, we use the suburb of La Villaflora in the city of Quito, Ecuador as our case study. We first propose a system of indicators as a tool to characterize and quantify the historic value of a geographic area. Then, we apply these indicators to the suburb of La Villaflora and use Network Theory to understand and propose actions.}, journal = {International Journal of Architectural and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {11}, number = {1}, year = {2017}, pages = {21 - 26}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10006332}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/121}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 121, 2017}, }
