This article develops an assessment tool (EEUPAM) for the selection of land intended for senior residential areas in Panama, taking the district of San Miguelito as a case study. Panama is experiencing rapid population aging and insufficient geriatric infrastructure. Using weighted criteria such as proximity to medical services, accessibility, and urban social integration, six plots of land are evaluated, identifying the most viable one for an inclusive residential project. The proposal aims to guide urban-geriatric planning in contexts of high density and social vulnerability.
