Resumen
Dada la situación actual a nivel global relacionada con procesos de desertificación, la presente investigación determinó los factores socioeconómicos vinculados a los procesos de desertificación en el desierto de Palmira, y, para lograrlo, se utilizó una matriz que incluye 12 componentes y 16 indicadores socioeconómicos respectivos, y para su aplicación metodológica fue necesario recabar información a partir de censos, registros y encuestas, que permitieron la obtención de valores totales y de referencia, que sean calificados acorde a la escala experta de valoración propuesta, por tal razón, se hizo levantamiento de información cualitativo y cuantitativo. Una vez que, se obtuvieron los resultados en la matriz de valoración, se sumaron los valores obtenidos de los 16 indicadores y se contrastaron con una matriz con 5 conceptos, distribuidos en rangos de 0 – 16 cada uno, para obtener una escala cualitativa de valoración, representadas por los conceptos; Muy Baja, Baja, Media, Alta y Muy Alta. Finalmente, con el resultado alcanzado, se realizó un diagnóstico general de los principales factores socioeconómicos que ejercen influencia sobre los procesos de desertificación.
Given the current global situation related to desertification processes, this research identified the socio-economic factors linked to desertification processes in the Palmira desert, and to achieve this, a matrix was used that includes 12 components and 16 respective socio-economic indicators, and for its methodological application it was necessary to collect information from censuses, registers and surveys, which allowed the obtaining of total and reference values, that they be qualified according to the proposed expert assessment scale, for that reason, qualitative and quantitative information was raised. Once the results were obtained in the valuation matrix, the values obtained from the 16 indicators were added together and compared with a matrix with 5 concepts, distributed in ranges of 0 – 16 each, to obtain a qualitative scale of valuation, represented by the concepts; Very Low, Low, Medium, High, and Very High. Finally, with the result achieved, a general diagnosis of the main socioeconomic factors that influence desertification processes was made.
