The development of cities causes problems when buildings are not erected in compliance with the necessary regulations. This study aims to characterize the structural typology of buildings built between 1997 and 2016 in representative areas of Tunja, Boyacá (Colombia). For this, satellite images were processed and classified, delimiting new building development areas for the study period. We also analyzed data in Geographic Information Systems (Gis) from surveys of the structural typology study of buildings to determine their quality. Images for the classification of development areas and a geographic database (GDB) with information on structural typology were obtained. In the study area, we observed good quality construction trends, mainly oriented to load-bearing wall systems. The interpretation and analysis of satellite images with studies such as structural typology are helpful for land planning. There is still no research on the subject that includes the analysis of structural typology information for this city.

Keywords : Image classification; urban growth; buildings; land use planning; structural typology.
