Modelo de ocupación territorial a partir de la evaluación de la capacidad de acogida para el área de influencia del embalse Topocoro en el Municipio de Betulia, Santander

Abstract

This work seeks to formulate the model of territorial occupation of the area of influence of the Topocoro reservoir, in the municipality of Betulia in the department of Santander, through the methodology of reception capacity of the physical environment proposed by the authors Gómez Orea and Gómez Villarino in the book “Ordenación Territorial, un aporte desde el medio Físico”, which consists of carrying out the diagnosis and territorial analysis in terms of vocation and constructing a proposal of main, compatible, restricted and prohibited uses for each environmental unit studied. Thus, an occupation model is formulated in accordance with the new particular economic and vocational dynamics of a reservoir area and consequently a series of strategies and actions are identified in three main axes: environmental and infrastructure, social and economic, demonstrating that the reception capacity is effective to develop territorial planning processes.
