El presente proyecto responde al turismo sostenido que se ha demostrado en los últimos años en la región Ica, específicamente en la ciudad de Paracas por sus atractivos turísticos de entorno natural principalmente en la Reserva Nacional de Paracas y las Islas Ballestas, demostrando el potencial de dicha ciudad con relación al turismo por naturaleza. Paracas, es uno de los principales destinos para visitar por el turista nacional y extranjero que visita Ica, con fines de recreación y vacacional en su mayoría, es por ello que la Cámara de Comercio Exterior y Turismo de Paracas ha determinado que para el año 2021 el balneario recibirá aproximadamente un millón de turistas, teniendo en cuenta que los hoteles de la misma categoría llegan en temporada alta a estar completamente ocupado, se necesitará de mayor capacidad hotelera emplazado en entorno natural para poder abarcar la demanda que se tiene proyectado hacia el 2021. Por lo tanto, se propone un Hotel 5 estrellas con énfasis en la arquitectura sostenible, para recibir a los futuros usuarios nacionales y extranjeros y a la vez crear una infraestructura que respete el entorno natural, generando una arquitectura más consecuente con la localidad. / This project responds to the sustained tourism that has been demonstrated in recent years in the Ica region, specifically in Paracas City for its tourist attractions of natural environment, demonstrating its potential in relation to tourism by nature. Paracas, is one of the main destinations to visit by the national and foreign tourist who visits Ica, for recreational and holiday purposes for the most part, that is why the Chamber of Foreign Trade and Tourism of Paracas has determined that by 2021 the bay will receive approximately one million tourists, however, the current hotel located in natural environment in high season are completely occupied, so more hotel capacity be needed to meet the demand that is projected around 2021. For that reason, it’s necessary to proposes a 5-star Hotel with an emphasis on sustainable architecture, to welcome future tourist and, at the same time, create an infrastructure that respects the natural environment, generating a more consistent architecture with the locality. / Trabajo de investigación

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Building. Johannesburg, 2018 / South Africa is currently faced with the challenge of reducing the huge backlog of infrastructure delivery to communities that were previously disadvantaged. Specifically, the Government needs to deliver school infrastructure to accommodate the rapidly growing student population particularly in areas that have experienced high levels of urban migration. It is generally agreed that there is need to step up the quality of planning, costing and project management, to speed up the delivery process of schools in line with the schools calendar. This research report critically assesses the characteristics and application of procurement systems currently being utilised by Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development (GDID) for the delivery of school buildings. GDID utilises three procurement systems; the traditional, the integrated and the management-oriented procurement systems, providing an opportunity to compare the performance of each system within a single organisational context. A descriptive survey was conducted for school projects with the same prototype design executed within GDID, to identify the external and internal factors that are complimentary or detrimental to the effective implementation of the different procurement systems. Data was collected and the content analysed. The literature research confirms that different procurement systems have an effect on the total project delivery time, assuming all other variables remain constant. The integrated procurement system was found to be the most suitable procurement system for schools service delivery projects, from initiation to close out, for GDID, given the tight time frameworks. However, due regard should be given to extensive communication with all stakeholders to obtain their buy-in and approvals. / E.R. 2019
