One of the most innovative aspects of the research is the use of object-based analysis instead of traditional pixel-based methods, allowing for a more accurate and representative assessment of the state of urban ecosystems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>The calculation of the condition of each city polygon makes it possible to establish action priorities based on the deterioration or good condition reflected by the results. In the face of data showing poor condition, urgent improvement interventions can be planned, while results revealing good condition can lead to the proposal of necessary conservation actions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los resultados principales revelan que el 23,66 % de los barrios presentan una condici\u00f3n buena (valor superior a 0,60); y el 76,34\u202f% de los barrios ofrecen una condici\u00f3n mala, con un un valor inferior o igual a 0,60.
