Relación entre la disponibilidad de la cobertura vegetal y las dinámicas urbanas en torno a cuatro vías principales de Villavicencio, en el periodo 1990-2018 (Puerto López, Acacías, Bogotá y Restrepo)

Abstract

The increase in the economic activities of the city of Villavicencio is an important factor that allows the improvement of the road infrastructure and its continuous progress; This development tends to generate movements of the floating population that seeks to locate itself in the urban and rural peripheries; an urban phenomenon that is associated with new perimeter settlements, which have become an important problem that generates impacts on the natural resources around it. This research analyzed the relationship between the availability of vegetation cover and urban dynamics around the four main roads of Villavicencio, in the period 1990-2018 (Puerto López, Acacías, Bogotá and Restrepo), identifying urban dynamics and their influence on vegetation cover losses, in order to project the behavior of these variables in relation to the study period and thus show the areas with the greatest susceptibility to loss, this was done using thematic maps that contained information on urban dynamics to Over time, where the changes to which the road corridors have been subjected were identified, based on some elements related to the CORIN LAND COVER methodology, the type of coverage, amount of coverage and its distribution were determined by means of a matrix in relation to information on urban growth and current road development.
