Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze how the components of an effective evaluation are integrated into quality assessment procedures for interior design in Cuba, with the aim of identifying areas for improvement and formulating recommendations. The study employs a documentary analysis of the procedure from ONDi’s National System for Design Quality Evaluation, supported by an observation guide that allows for a systematic examination of the procedure’s key elements. The results indicate that essential evaluation components are incorporated, albeit with certain limitations. A lack of specific objectives for each phase of the space’s life cycle and a predominance of empirical methods in measurement were observed, which reduces the objectivity of the analysis. Additionally, it was noted that the procedure lacks a formal feedback mechanism, limiting its capacity for continuous improvement. These findings allow for the formulation of recommendations to optimize the process, promoting a more adaptive and precise evaluation within the Cuban context.
