Description
Summary:Starting from the “ecosystem approach”, this paper presents a characterization of the District of Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) understanding the entiy as a territory composed of a set of homogeneous units defined from the point of view of natural and anthropic framework (Ecological Management Units). Ecological regionalization of the study area was performed by using the eco-section scale, and further characterization according to the use and socioeconomic attributes of the territory. The processing of the spatial data was carried out employing QGIS, with which a preliminary diagnose was obtained, based on cartographic maps of the territory organization and of the identification of 14 Ecological Management Units in the District of Cartagena.
