Abstract
In a context of climate change, parks have been proven to increase the resilience of vulnerable cities as they help regulate the microclimate, mitigating the heat island effect. Under a generic premise, it could be infered that the municipalities with the highest income from population with high socioeconomic strata and high income to these government agencies through taxes favor the existence of good indicators of quality and quantity of parks. In the framework of this research, it is shown that there is no direct relationship between areas of high socioeconomic strata and high quantity and good quality of parks as public spaces. To this end, 8 parks of the district and its distribution have been evaluated, integrating the results of this evaluation with the socioeconomic levels of the district. Among the main results show that the inhabitants of Surco have a good perception of the parks of their district and that many of these spaces are used by inhabitants of the surrounding districts. There is great care of green areas, although they show deficiencies in terms of infrastructure and equipment. However, the district of Surco, despite being one of the districts with the largest number of green areas in Lima, does not meet the number of square meters per inhabitant for WHO or HABITAT. Finally, the results of quality and quantity of the selected parks and the weighting of the 131 parks as public spaces showed that both the sectors with lower and higher income present these spaces with low quality standards are below 8 m2 / inhabitants established by WHO.

Finalmente, los resultados de calidad y cantidad de los parques seleccionados y la ponderación de los 131 parques como espacios públicos evidenciaron que los sectores tanto con menores como con mayores ingresos económicos presentan estos espacios con bajos estándares de calidad y por debajo de los 8 m2/hab. establecidos por la OMS

Summary
En un contexto de cambio climático, los parques han demostrado aumentar la resiliencia de las ciudades vulnerables, ya que ayudan a regular el microclima mitigando los efectos de la isla de calor. En el marco de esta investigación, realizada en Santiago de Surco, Lima, Perú, se demuestra que no existe una relación directa entre zonas de elevados estratos socioeconómicas y elevada cantidad o buena calidad de parques en el distrito. Entre los objetivos específicos se evaluó la cantidad y distribución de los parques y su relación con el nivel socioeconómico por manzana a través de herramientas de SIG; además, se evaluó la calidad de los parques como espacios públicos mediante encuestas y se desarrolló un índice que permitió comparar los diferentes parques evaluados, así como encontrar las deficiencias comunes.
