Transformación socioecológica del territorio: análisis de cambios de coberturas terrestres y de las dinámicas sociales ante la operación de un proyecto de desarrollo vial, área rural de Cañasgordas, 2015/2021

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to analyze the socio-ecological transformation of the territory in a development scenario of a road infrastructure project. To determine changes in land cover, the Corine Land Cover methodological scheme was applied, which includes, among its stages, the acquisition, preparation of information, analysis and interpretation of the covers, for this case at a scale of 1:25,000 with level of detail 3. To identify the perception of change in social dynamics in the territory, the qualitative ethnographic method was applied from a semi-structured interview using non-probabilistic sampling of an intentional type. The result is the map in vector format of the Corine Land Cover land use polygon at level 3 for each of the 2015 and 2021 years, this allowed an analysis and identification of coverage changes and anomalies. At the level of the perception of social and ecological change, the results allowed highlighting the trends that emerged from this exercise, finding a territory that is configured from uncertainty and under a scenario of socio-environmental conflicts.
