Field Observation Dataset of Curbside Parking Events in Central Loja, Ecuador (2026)

This dataset contains field observation records of curbside parking events collected in the city centre of Loja, Ecuador, in May 2026. The data were gathered through a structured field observation instrument applied across six urban street segments located along 18 de Noviembre Street, Lauro Guerrero Street, and Juan José Peña Street. These segments are part of the central north–south and south–north mobility corridors of the city and are characterised by commercial activity, passenger pick-up/drop-off, loading/unloading activities, and regulated or informal curbside parking demand. The Excel file includes event-level observations related to spatial and temporal characteristics, parking environment, vehicle type, apparent parking purpose, manoeuvre characteristics, use of hazard lights, SIMERT card use, double-parking conditions, prohibited-zone occupation, parking duration, and observed mobility impacts such as congestion generation, pedestrian interference, public transport effects, and traffic-enforcement intervention. The dataset was used to analyse curbside parking duration, turnover, short-duration stopping behaviour, regulatory compliance, and spatial-temporal variability in central Loja. The main analytical sample retained 1,397 valid parking events after data-quality control. Records with zero duration and one extreme duration exceeding the predefined analytical threshold were excluded from the main analysis but preserved in the original dataset for transparency and reproducibility. This dataset is associated with a research article examining curbside parking behaviour, parking turnover, and regulatory compliance in an intermediate Latin American city. It may be useful for studies on urban parking management, curbside regulation, short-duration stopping behaviour, transport planning, and mobility management in city centres.本数据集收录了2026年5月于厄瓜多尔洛哈市中心采集的路内停车事件实地观测记录。数据通过标准化实地观测工具采集，覆盖沿18 de Noviembre街、Lauro Guerrero街及Juan José Peña街分布的6条城市路段。上述路段隶属于该市中心城区南北向与南向-北向通勤走廊，区域兼具商业活动、乘客集散、装卸作业，以及规范化或非规范化路内停车需求。 本Excel文件包含事件级观测数据，涵盖时空特征、停车环境、车辆类型、显性停车目的、操作特征、危险信号灯使用情况、SIMERT卡使用情况、双停状态、禁停区域占用情况、停车时长，以及观测到的通勤影响（如拥堵产生、行人干扰、公共交通影响、交通执法干预）。 本数据集曾用于分析洛哈市中心的路内停车时长、周转率、短时停靠行为、合规性及时空异质性。经数据质量管控后，主分析样本保留1397条有效停车事件。时长为零以及单条时长超出预设分析阈值的记录被排除出主分析样本，但仍留存于原始数据集以保障研究的透明性与可重复性。 本数据集关联一篇研究论文，该论文聚焦拉丁美洲中型城市的路内停车行为、停车周转率及合规性问题。本数据集可用于城市停车管理、路内停车规制、短时停靠行为、交通规划以及中心城区通勤管理相关研究。
