Cálculo de la carga poblacional para la isla de san Andrés: Un enfoque al turismo y la afectación en servicios básicos.

Abstract

The population load is comprised by the maximum capacity that a place or ecosystem has to maintain its habitants in a sustainable manner with the resources that are available, maintaining a balance with the generated resources without causing an environmental shock with repercussions for the future. This study addresses as a global issue the estimation of cargo capacity, focused on tourism and the impact it has on the consumption of resources such as water, and the discharge of waste such as garbage and dumping of sewage water. For the methodology used when estimating the tourist load, the island population was taken into account, this in order to verify the density of people outside the residents who may arrive at the place. At the time of calculate the population projection, the logistic function was used and for load analysis four types of models were taken into account, of which the STIRPAT model was the one that best stimulated the data taken into account.
