Diseño de un instrumento de análisis para la gestión sostenible del recurso suelo. Caso de estudio Municipio de Palmira, Valle del Cauca

Abstract

This degree project presents the design of an analysis instrument for the sustainable management of soil resources is presented, using as a case study the political-administrative limit of the municipality of Palmira, located in the department of Valle del Cauca. Within the research problem, territorial conflicts are considered due to the intensive use of the soil the soil resource by anthropic activities and its spatial distribution, generating changes in relationships at an environmental, social, economic, and cultural level. The reflection that supports the identification of categories and variables is made based on concepts such as: sustainable development, soil and rural areas where the following authors stand out: Soil Surfey Staff (1994), Raffino (2020), Echeverri (2009) (Bocco, 2007), (Castree et al, 2009 cited in Bocco, 2011), Brundtland, (1987), Van Miegrot and Johnson, (2009), Martin, (1998) among others, which allow defining the territory as a strategic space where all human activities converge. Likewise, a methodology is developed to obtain results in four phases: the initial or enlistment phase, allowed the prior consultation of information based on the conceptual framework of the research project; The first phase shows the diagnosis of the conflicts generated by land use change in the study municipality, through the compilation and analysis of geographic information from secondary sources; The second phase presents the analysis of the conflicts from the environmental, sociocultural and economic categories, through the evaluation of impacts, which in the third phase, allows to establish the characteristics that an analysis instrument must have for the sustainable management of the resource soil, managing to generate in this phase, three conflict management files and a final file as a result, which contains the parameters with the analysis instrument proposal that will allow the reduction of territorial conflicts in the political-administrative limit of the municipality of Palmira.
