Implementación de los sistemas de información geográfica SIG para la elaboración de mapas temáticos ambientales en el municipio de Santander de Quilichao

Abstract

The process of ordering and regulating a territory must be sustained on the basis of a deep and integral knowledge of the components, dynamics and relationships present in the space object of the ordering” (IDEAM, 2010); This includes the prospective, an instrument that allows predicting what the situation will be in the future from the analysis of the current scenario. It also requires a detailed process of research, dialogue with communities, articulation of public and private organizations and integration of various components that allow us to visualize what are the policies, decisions, commitments, facts and actions that must be adopted at present to build a better future. In the municipality it is inefficient and there is no baseline for the management of natural resources management from the conservation of natural capital. In this sense, planning and addressing from the municipal administration articulated to the environmental authority is necessary; all with an approach that allows progress in the objectives of sustainable development; for this, the use of tools such as GIS geographic information systems for monitoring available resources, prioritizing their conservation and subsequent management, achieving in a future scenario that the community efficiently dispose of the territory with a degree of responsibility from the environmental culture. Therefore, it is necessary to create a baseline of information that integrates territorial information that allows the visualization of natural components for its study and subsequent dissemination; as well as the implementation of technology tools that allow the reliable design of natural capital uses for its management and conservation, within the dynamics of urban, rural land uses, as well as for the establishment of industrial zones.
