Diagnóstico Territorial de los Impactos Generados por la Fase 1 del Parque Agroalimentario de Tunja (PAAT), Departamento de Boyacá, en la Zona de Mayor Presión, como Insumo para la Formulación de Estrategias de Mitigación Frente a los Futuros Impactos Proyectados de las Fases 2 y 3 del PAAT

Abstract

The Tunja Agrifood Park (PAAT) emerged as an initiative to modernize agrifood marketing in Boyacá, transforming traditional spaces into specialized infrastructure. However, its location in a transition area bordering urban, suburban, and rural areas, without a prior comprehensive territorial assessment, has generated environmental, social, and urban planning tensions that require a broader planning approach. To this end, the project conducted a territorial analysis in the area of greatest pressure generated by Phase 1 of the PAAT, providing technical input to mitigate the impacts projected in Phases 2 and 3. To this end, the current conditions of the territory were characterized, a systematic impact matrix was applied, and prevention, mitigation, and compensation strategies were formulated. The results highlighted the need to strengthen citizen security, improve public spaces, manage mobility, and promote community participation as key elements connecting the project with its surroundings. It is concluded that the development of comprehensive territorial diagnoses constitutes a key tool for anticipating risks, optimizing decision-making, and promoting more balanced and sustainable agroindustrial development.
