Contextualization: This study identifies that the city of San Juan de Pasto, especially its central and southeastern area, present a significant pressure on environmental resources, due to a higher population density, generating various environmental problems due to the urbanization process.

Knowledge gap: Such situation gave rise to the development of this research, to formulate strategies that contribute to the improvement of urban environmental quality in commune three, by obtaining urban environmental quality indicators, estimating environmental quality in the area of study and formulation of alternatives that increase urban environmental quality and prevent environmental impacts.

Purpose: The specific objectives of the study were: Identify environmental quality indicators, estimate the urban environmental quality index and propose alternatives to improve urban environmental quality in commune three, San Juan de Pasto. For this, the urban environmental quality index, a methodology designed by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (2016), was applied as an instrument to assess environmental sustainability in cities and prioritization of alternatives was carried out through of the method; multi-criteria prioritization matrix.

Results and conclusions: The urban environmental quality index value for commune 3 obtained a rating of 50.5, which indicates an average urban environmental quality, with Air Quality and the percentage of urban population located in high threat areas being among the most representative, obtaining a Very high and very low rating respectively. The prioritization of alternatives led to the study of two strategies; a modular green terrace system and a sustainable mobility strategy - Public bicycle system, which would improve the environmental quality of the study area. This process concluded that the application of the urban environmental quality index proposed in previous research has a moderate viability in the application at the strategic level of the commune.
