Estimation of the level of sustainable development of rural territories in the solid biosphere area of the cajas, based on the dimensions of the territorial system

Abstract

The problem leading the investigation, refers to the gaps in quantitative and operational information for analysing the level of sustainable development of the rural territories of the solid biosphere area of the Cajas, and therefore do not allow to make decisions Pragmatics that will be a step for sustainability. These data gaps are imperative, even more so when the biosphere reserve model points to the principles of sustainable development. In view of the situation posed the framework objective is determined in the contrast analysis of the level of sustainability achieved by the sub-national governments belonging to the solid biosphere of the boxes to identify the degree of performance, Imbalances between dimensions, as patterns of territorial development, taking into account the multidimensionality of the territorial system. In direct relation to the objectives of the investigation, the author applies as methodological framework for the estimation of the level of sustainable development of the rural territories of the area of solid biosphere of the boxes (ABMC) the tool called Index of development Sustainable. In fact, the methodological and heuristic resource used demands the choice of indicators of the dimensions of the territorial system and corresponding to the units of observation and analysis expressed in the rural territories of the space called Biosphere, for this it will be necessary to initiate with the construction of base information that model this territory, then to summarize it to the methodical of application. The results after a subsequent treatment of the data determined an estimate of the level sustainable development of the ABMC with a level of state of the system classified as unstable, the value of the index is 0.51, likewise, it is determined territories with a level Critical, unstable and stable.
