Impacto en el uso del suelo debido a la construcción de una nueva pista de aterrizaje en la zona aledaña a El Dorado

Abstract

This research work aims to carry out an analysis of the impact on land use of each of the alternatives contemplated in the new master plan for the El Dorado airport in Bogotá, where the construction of a third runway is proposed to allow its expansion, and in this way, in the short term, have enough installed capacity to satisfactorily meet the demand for air operations shown by the projections made.

This research is descriptive with a bibliographic and qualitative approach because for its development it was decided to seek reliable information from the entities responsible for land use planning in the areas surrounding the El Dorado airport and from the aeronautical authority, Aerocivil. The web portals of the Aerocivil, the District Planning Secretariat and the Funza municipal mayor's office were visited. Data were also obtained through official letters that were sent to the District Planning Secretariat of Bogotá.

The analysis was based on the information collected on land use in the towns of Engativá and Fontibón in the city of Bogotá, which are currently the ones that directly face the effects caused by noise from the air operations of the El Dorado airport by presenting large residential urban land areas. In addition, information on land use from the Municipality of Funza is incorporated because some alternatives are projected on this sector.

Of the alternatives proposed, from the point of view of land use, the most viable are 4, which in its entirety would be located in rural land, lacking dense development areas, and 8, which would only cover 0.53 hectares of residential urban land. However, in both alternatives, infrastructure would have to be built on the Bogotá River, which would cause environmental impacts not yet foreseen.
